Professional chimney cap installation that actually fits right and lasts decades on Block Island.

You’ll sleep better knowing water can’t pour down your chimney during the next coastal storm. No more worrying about animals making themselves at home in your flue or dealing with downdrafts that fill your living room with smoke.
A properly installed chimney cap means your fireplace draws correctly every time you light it. Your masonry stays intact through freeze-thaw cycles. Your home insurance stays current.
Most importantly, you avoid the nightmare of water damage spreading through your walls and ceilings. That’s thousands in repairs you’ll never have to deal with because you handled the problem at the source.
We’ve been protecting New Shoreham chimneys since 2000, back when most companies wouldn’t make the trip to Block Island. Our CSI-certified technicians understand what coastal weather does to chimney systems here.
You’re not getting a mainland crew that’s never dealt with salt air corrosion or the unique challenges of island installations. We know which materials hold up and which ones fail within a few seasons.
Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a summer cottage or a year-round home. We’re here when you need us, with the experience that comes from doing this work right for over twenty years.
We start with accurate measurements of your chimney crown and flue openings. Every chimney is different, especially older Block Island homes, so custom fitting is usually necessary rather than trying to force a standard size.
Next, we select the right material for your situation. Stainless steel works best in our coastal environment, but we’ll explain your options based on your chimney type and budget. We fabricate custom caps when needed to ensure proper fit and function.
Installation happens quickly but carefully. We secure everything properly so it won’t shift during storms, check that dampers and flue systems work correctly, and clean up completely. You get a cap that’s built to handle whatever weather Block Island throws at it.

You get options that actually make sense for Block Island conditions. Standard galvanized caps rust out quickly here, so we focus on stainless steel and copper that handle salt air without deteriorating.
Single-flue caps work for most fireplaces, but multi-flue covers are often better for older homes with multiple chimneys. We also install chase covers for prefab fireplaces and custom solutions for unusual chimney configurations.
Every cap includes proper screening to keep animals out while allowing adequate ventilation. We size the mesh correctly so it won’t clog with debris but still blocks birds and squirrels. The goal is protection that doesn’t interfere with your fireplace’s performance.
