Professional Chimney Cap Installation

Your Home Gets Real Protection

A properly installed chimney cap does more than sit on top of your chimney. It keeps water from running down into your home, stops animals from nesting in your flue, and prevents debris from blocking your system.

You won’t wake up to water stains on your ceiling or wonder why your fireplace isn’t drawing properly. Your chimney system works the way it should, and you don’t have to think about it.

That’s what happens when the cap is sized right, made from materials that actually last, and installed by people who know what they’re doing. No guesswork, no shortcuts, no problems down the road.

Greene RI Chimney Specialists

Two Decades of Getting It Right

We’ve been working on chimneys in Greene and throughout Rhode Island since 2000. The same core team that started this work over twenty years ago is still here, still doing the installations.

Every one of our technicians carries CSI certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means we know current codes, proper installation techniques, and how to size caps correctly for your specific chimney.

You’re not getting a general contractor who does a little bit of everything. You’re getting specialists who understand how Rhode Island’s coastal climate affects chimney systems and what it takes to make repairs last.

Chimney Cap Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we measure your chimney properly. Not just the outside dimensions, but the flue size, the crown condition, and how your specific system is built. Every chimney is different, and the cap has to fit yours exactly.

Next, we discuss materials and options. Stainless steel lasts longest in our coastal climate, but we’ll explain what works best for your situation and budget. If you need a custom cap because of unusual dimensions or multiple flues, we handle that too.

Installation day is straightforward. We protect your roof and property, remove the old cap if there is one, prep the surface, and install your new cap with proper sealing and secure mounting. You get a system that’s built to last and actually does its job.

What You Get With Our Service

Every installation includes proper measurement, quality materials, and secure mounting that meets current safety standards. We don’t use generic caps that sort of fit – we get the right size for your chimney.

Stainless steel construction resists the salt air and weather changes that destroy cheaper materials. The mesh screening keeps animals out while allowing proper ventilation. The design sheds water away from your chimney instead of letting it pool and seep in.

Greene’s older homes often have unique chimney configurations that require custom solutions. We’ve handled everything from multi-flue systems to unusual crown shapes. If your chimney needs something specific, we can make it work right.

How long does a stainless steel chimney cap last?

A quality stainless steel chimney cap typically lasts 15-20 years in Rhode Island’s coastal climate, sometimes longer with proper installation. The key is using marine-grade stainless steel that resists salt air corrosion. Cheaper galvanized caps might only last 5-7 years before rusting through, especially near the coast. We use materials designed for marine environments because they hold up better to the conditions your chimney actually faces here in Greene.
We can install caps on most residential chimneys, but the approach depends on your specific system. Masonry chimneys, prefab chimneys, and multi-flue systems all require different mounting methods and cap designs. Some older chimneys need crown repair before cap installation to ensure proper sealing. During our free estimate, we assess your chimney’s condition and explain exactly what’s needed for a proper installation that will actually protect your home.
We handle animal removal as part of the cap installation process when needed. First, we safely remove any nests or debris, then clean the flue if necessary. Once the chimney is clear and clean, we install the cap with proper mesh screening to prevent future intrusion. The mesh size is important – too large and small animals get through, too small and it restricts airflow. We use the right specifications for your area’s common wildlife.
Most chimneys need custom sizing for proper fit and function. Standard caps work for some newer construction, but Greene’s older homes often have unique dimensions or multiple flues that require custom solutions. A cap that’s too small won’t cover properly, too large looks wrong and may not mount securely. We measure your specific chimney and recommend the right approach – whether that’s a standard size that fits perfectly or a custom cap designed for your system.
Chimney cap installation costs vary based on your chimney’s size, height, accessibility, and whether you need a standard or custom cap. Basic installations start around $300-500, while custom caps for complex systems can run $800-1200 or more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what your specific situation requires. We also offer in-house financing for larger projects, making it easier to get the protection your home needs without waiting.
A properly installed chimney cap improves fireplace performance by preventing downdrafts and keeping debris out of the flue. The cap design actually helps with proper ventilation while blocking rain and snow. However, an incorrectly sized or poorly installed cap can restrict airflow and cause problems. That’s why proper measurement and installation matter so much. Our CSI-certified technicians know how to size and install caps that protect your chimney while maintaining optimal performance for your fireplace or heating system.
