A properly functioning chimney cap is essential for protecting your chimney from rain, snow, animals, and debris while helping extend the life of your chimney system.

If your chimney cap shows signs of damage, our experienced technicians will perform a thorough inspection to determine whether a chimney cap rebuild or complete replacement is the best solution. We restore damaged chimney caps to improve their performance, prevent water intrusion, and help protect the chimney structure from costly moisture damage.
Metal chimney caps are especially vulnerable to rust caused by constant exposure to rain, snow, and changing temperatures.

Chimney Cap Rebuilding Process
If you have a damaged chimney cap, do not worry, our chimney professionals can rebuild the chimney cap. If the rebuild is not possible, then we can install a new replacement. There are several ways to fix a chimney cap and rebuild it. Here is the general process of completing a chimney cap rebuilding project.
- Seal the Chimney: One option for rebuilding a damaged or missing chimney cap is to seal the opening with caulk or insulation. This method will help keep out moisture and pests, while also creating a safe rebuild of the chimney cap.
- Replace the Flashing: If the flashing around your chimney has damage or is missing, we can fix it with the same material that was used during installation. If the flashing is made of sheet metal, we will buy a piece of matching sheet metal and cut out new pieces to fit around your current chimney.
- Re-flash Chimney: Another option for rebuilding a damaged or missing flashing on top of your chimney is to just re-flash it. This action involves removing the old flashings and reapplying new ones.
- Replace the Chimney Cap: Replacing the chimney cap is usually the easiest and most common method for repairing a damaged or missing chimney cap. You can buy a new chimney cap at your local hardware store or online and our chimney professionals can make the replacement. We can help by measuring the opening of your chimney before purchasing a new cap.
The last method is simply a full replacement of the chimney. If your chimney has severe damage, like cracks or rot, you might need to entirely replace the chimney. Obviously, this is the last route you'd likely want to take, but sometimes it is necessary. A full chimney rebuild is usually the case when a chimney has been neglected, so be sure to stay on top of inspections when it comes to your chimney. This way you extend its lifespan.
