What You Get With Professional Installation

Every chimney cap we install is sized specifically for your chimney. We use stainless steel materials that won’t rust out in a few years like cheaper alternatives.

Our caps include proper screening to keep animals and large debris out while maintaining good airflow. The mounting system is designed to handle high winds without loosening or failing.

You get a cap that fits your chimney’s dimensions exactly, not something that’s “close enough.” That means better protection and longer life. We’ve been working with Rhode Island chimneys long enough to know what works and what doesn’t in this climate.

How long does a stainless steel chimney cap last?

A quality stainless steel chimney cap typically lasts 15-20 years or more with proper installation. The key is using the right grade of stainless steel and securing it correctly. Cheaper caps made from galvanized steel or thin stainless might only last 3-5 years before rusting through. We use heavy-duty stainless steel that’s designed to handle Rhode Island’s coastal conditions, including salt air that can be particularly hard on metal components.
Yes, we can install caps on brick chimneys, metal chimneys, and prefab systems. Each type requires a different mounting approach. Brick chimneys usually get caps that mount to the crown or flue tiles. Metal chimneys need caps designed for the specific pipe diameter. The important thing is matching the cap style to your chimney type and making sure the mounting system is secure. We measure everything during the estimate to ensure proper fit.
A properly designed chimney cap actually improves draft in most cases. The cap design creates a slight vacuum effect that helps pull air up through the chimney. However, a cap that’s too small or poorly designed can restrict airflow and cause draft problems. That’s why we size caps based on your specific chimney dimensions and flue size. We also test the draft after installation to make sure everything is working correctly.
Chimney cap installation typically ranges from $300-800 depending on the chimney type, cap size, and complexity of the installation. Custom caps for unusual chimney configurations cost more than standard sizes. Multi-flue chimneys need larger caps with multiple openings. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what the job will cost before we start. We also offer in-house financing if you prefer to spread the cost over time.
Storm damage to chimney caps usually happens when they’re not properly secured or made from lightweight materials. High winds can tear off caps that aren’t mounted correctly. If your cap does get damaged, the most important thing is to cover the chimney opening temporarily to prevent water damage until it can be repaired or replaced. We’ve seen significant interior damage when homeowners wait too long to address a missing or damaged cap, especially during Rhode Island’s wet seasons.
Most chimneys need some level of customization to get proper fit and function. Even “standard” chimneys vary in dimensions, and the cap needs to fit the crown size, not just the flue opening. Custom caps are definitely needed for chimneys with multiple flues, unusual shapes, or non-standard dimensions. We measure during the estimate and let you know whether a standard cap will work or if custom fabrication is needed for proper protection and appearance.
