Professional Chimney Cap Installation

What Proper Protection Actually Looks Like

Your chimney without a proper cap is basically an open door to problems. Water pours straight down into your flue, eventually working its way into your home’s structure. Animals see it as prime real estate.

A professionally installed chimney cap changes everything. Water gets directed away from your flue and your home stays dry. The mesh screening keeps birds, squirrels, and other wildlife from setting up shop in your chimney.

You stop worrying about mysterious water stains on your ceiling. You stop hearing scratching sounds from animals that found their way into your chimney system. Your chimney system works the way it’s supposed to work – protecting your home instead of creating problems for it.

What You Get With Professional Installation

We use stainless steel for our chimney caps because it handles Westerly’s coastal environment. Salt air and moisture that would corrode cheaper materials don’t affect quality stainless steel the same way.

Every cap includes proper mesh screening to keep animals out while allowing proper ventilation. The cap itself is sized and fitted to your specific chimney dimensions – not forced to fit like a one-size-fits-all solution.

You also get the benefit of working with a full-service chimney company. If we spot other issues during installation, we can address them properly instead of just pointing them out and walking away.

How do I know if my chimney needs a new cap?

Look for obvious signs like rust, cracks, or a cap that’s loose or missing entirely. But the real indicators are often inside your home – water stains on walls or ceilings near your fireplace, white staining on your exterior chimney (efflorescence from water damage), or animal sounds coming from your chimney. If you’re seeing any of these problems, your current cap isn’t doing its job. We can assess the situation during a free estimate and show you exactly what’s happening.
Cheap caps are usually made from galvanized steel that rusts out in a few years, especially in Westerly’s coastal environment. They’re often poorly fitted and use inadequate fastening methods. Quality stainless steel caps resist corrosion, are properly sized for your specific chimney, and use secure mounting systems that won’t fail in high winds. The upfront cost difference is significant, but you’re comparing something that lasts 3-5 years to something that lasts 20+ years.
Technically possible, but not recommended. Proper installation requires getting on your roof safely, having the right tools, and knowing how to secure the cap properly to your chimney’s construction. More importantly, you need to know what size and style cap works for your specific chimney type. A poorly installed cap can create drafting problems or fail during the first serious storm. CSI certified technicians have the training and experience to get it right the first time.
Most installations take 1-2 hours once we’re on site. The timeline depends on your roof’s accessibility, the complexity of your chimney system, and whether you’re getting a standard or custom cap. Custom caps require additional time for fabrication before installation day. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
A properly installed cap improves your fireplace’s performance. It prevents downdrafts that can blow smoke back into your home and stops rain from coming down your flue. The key is proper sizing and installation – the cap needs to allow adequate ventilation while providing protection. That’s why we measure carefully and select caps designed for your specific chimney type. Poor quality or incorrectly installed caps can definitely cause problems, which is why professional installation matters.
Quality stainless steel caps are designed to handle severe weather, but damage can happen in extreme conditions. If your cap gets damaged, don’t wait to replace it – every day without proper protection allows water and animals into your chimney system. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover chimney cap replacement if it’s damaged by covered weather events. We can work with your insurance company and provide documentation they need for your claim.
