Fitting a chimney cap properly
Local pros, upfront written prices and a 10% discount on work confirmed inside 72 hours of the inspection.
Rust streaks below the cap
Orange or brown streaks on the crown or down the brick usually start at the cap. When the coating on a steel cap wears through, rain carries rust across whatever lies below it. The stain is a cosmetic problem at first and a warning that the metal is thinning.
Replacing the cap with a corrosion-resistant one stops new staining. Existing streaks on brick can often be cleaned, and we tell you which masonry cleaners suit your chimney before anything touches the face of the brick.
Options priced in writing
Most chimneys have more than one reasonable cap choice. A single-flue cap in stainless steel, a copper version or one cap over several flues can all work, and they differ in look and price. Where a crown-mounted cap and single-flue caps both fit, we show you how each one handles the flues and the crown.
Every choice goes on the estimate with its own price and a plain note on what it changes. You pick, there are no hidden fees, and your pick is 10% off if you schedule it inside the 72-hour window after the inspection.
Metal chimneys that run through a chase
A factory-built chimney often rises through a framed box called a chase. The pipe ends in its own termination cap, and a metal chase cover closes the top of the box around it. The two parts are separate and wear out separately.
A rusted chase cover can leak even under a new cap, and a failed cap can let rain into a sound chase. We check both at the free inspection and price each one on its own line, so you know which part the work is replacing.
When a home inspection flags the cap
A missing, rusted or loose cap is a frequent note on a home inspection report, often alongside comments about the crown or the flashing. Buyers and sellers usually want the item closed out quickly, with something in writing to show it was done.
Our visit covers the chimney top, confirms what the report describes and ends with a written price for the fix. After the work, you get a written description of what was installed, which you can pass along to the other side of the sale.
