Chimney Cap Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we inspect your chimney crown and flue to determine the right cap size and style. Every chimney is different, so we measure carefully and check for any existing damage that needs attention.

Next, we select the appropriate cap material. Stainless steel works best in Rhode Island’s coastal environment because it won’t rust or corrode. We can also provide custom-made chimney caps for unusual flue configurations.

Installation involves proper sealing and secure mounting. The cap needs to allow proper ventilation while keeping water, animals, and debris out. We make sure it’s positioned correctly and fastened to handle high winds.

After installation, we test the fit and check that your fireplace or heating system draws properly. A good chimney cap installation shouldn’t interfere with your system’s performance.

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 can handle salt air and moisture without corroding. Cheaper caps made from galvanized steel or lower-grade stainless might only last 5-7 years before they start rusting. We use materials that are built to last because replacing a chimney cap every few years gets expensive fast.
A properly sized and installed chimney cap actually improves draft by preventing downdrafts caused by wind. The cap’s design creates a barrier that helps smoke and gases exit while preventing wind from pushing back down the flue. However, an incorrectly sized cap can restrict airflow and cause draft problems. That’s why we measure carefully and select caps that match your chimney’s specifications. If you’re having draft issues now, the cap installation might solve them.
Most chimneys can accommodate a cap, but the type depends on your specific setup. Single flue chimneys are straightforward. Multi-flue chimneys need caps that cover all openings while maintaining proper ventilation for each. Some older chimneys with unusual dimensions require custom-made caps. We also work with different chimney materials – brick, stone, metal, and prefab systems all have specific requirements. During our assessment, we’ll determine what type of cap works best for your chimney.
Standard chimney cap installation typically ranges from $300-600, depending on the cap type and chimney accessibility. Custom caps for unusual configurations cost more. Stainless steel caps are more expensive upfront than galvanized options, but they last much longer in Rhode Island’s climate. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. We also offer in-house financing if you need it.
We handle animal removal as part of the process, but it needs to be done properly and legally. Different animals require different approaches – birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats all have specific removal requirements. We make sure animals are safely removed and that nests and debris are cleaned out before installing the cap. The cap then prevents future intrusions. If there are babies involved, we may need to wait until they’re old enough to leave on their own.
Chimney caps need minimal maintenance, but annual inspection is smart. Check for damage after major storms, and make sure the screen isn’t clogged with debris or creosote buildup. The cap should be included in your regular chimney inspection – we check the condition and mounting during routine service calls. Most problems are minor and caught early, but ignoring maintenance can lead to bigger issues. A well-maintained cap protects your chimney for decades.
