What Proper Protection Actually Means

Your chimney without a cap is like leaving a window open during every rainstorm. Water pours straight down into your home, rotting wood, rusting dampers, and creating expensive problems you’ll discover months later when the damage is already done.

A properly installed chimney cap changes everything. No more water pooling in your firebox. No more animals building nests in your flue. No more debris clogging your system right before you want to use your fireplace.

You get a stainless steel barrier that handles whatever New England weather throws at it. Custom-fitted to your specific chimney dimensions, professionally installed, and built to last decades instead of years.

Professional Chimney Cap Process

How We Install Your Protection

First, we measure your chimney crown and flue dimensions to ensure a proper fit. Generic caps from the hardware store don’t account for the variations in chimney construction, which is why they often fail.

Next, we select the right stainless steel cap design for your specific setup. Single flue, multiple flues, unusual shapes – we handle them all with custom solutions when needed.

Installation involves securing the cap to your chimney crown with stainless steel hardware that won’t rust or loosen over time. We check the fit, test the seal, and make sure everything is properly weatherproofed before we leave your property.

How long does a stainless steel chimney cap last?

A properly installed stainless steel chimney cap typically lasts 20-30 years or more in Rhode Island’s coastal climate. The key factors are using genuine stainless steel construction and proper installation techniques. Cheaper galvanized caps often rust through within 3-5 years, especially near the coast where salt air accelerates corrosion. We use marine-grade stainless steel that’s specifically designed to handle these conditions, and our CSI-certified installation ensures the cap stays securely attached even during severe weather events.
Chimney cap sizing depends on your specific flue dimensions and chimney crown configuration, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We measure the outside dimensions of your chimney crown, the flue opening size, and account for any unusual shapes or multiple flues. Standard residential chimneys typically range from 8×8 inches to 13×18 inches, but many homes have custom dimensions that require specially sized caps. During our free estimate, we take precise measurements to ensure your cap fits properly and provides complete protection without restricting proper ventilation.
Yes, a properly designed chimney cap with screening effectively prevents animals from entering your chimney system. Birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats commonly nest in uncapped chimneys, creating blockages and health hazards. Our caps include fine mesh screening that keeps animals out while allowing smoke and gases to vent properly. The screening is made from stainless steel to prevent rust and maintain its integrity over time. If animals have already nested in your chimney, we can remove them and clean the flue before installing your cap.
A properly installed chimney cap actually improves fireplace performance by preventing downdrafts that can blow smoke back into your home. The cap’s design creates a barrier against wind while maintaining proper ventilation through the flue. Some caps include wind-directional features that enhance updraft during use. However, sizing is critical – a cap that’s too small can restrict airflow and cause performance issues. Our CSI-certified technicians ensure your cap is properly sized and positioned to optimize your fireplace’s operation while providing maximum protection.
Chimney cap installation costs vary based on your chimney’s size, height, accessibility, and the specific cap design needed. Standard installations typically range from $300-800, while custom caps or complex installations may cost more. The investment pays for itself by preventing water damage that can cost thousands to repair. We provide free estimates that include all materials and labor with no hidden fees. We also offer in-house financing for larger projects, making it easier to protect your home without straining your budget.
Chimney caps can be damaged by severe weather, falling branches, or simply wear out over time, especially if they weren’t properly installed initially. If your cap is damaged, water and animals can immediately start entering your chimney system, so quick replacement is important. We provide emergency service for cap replacement and can often install a new cap within a few days of your call. Our installations include secure mounting systems designed to withstand New England weather conditions, reducing the likelihood of future damage or displacement.
