Chimney Cap Replacement Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a free estimate where we measure your chimney and assess what type of cap will work best. Every chimney is different, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.

If you need a custom-made chimney cap, we’ll fabricate it to fit your specific dimensions. Standard sizes work for some chimneys, but many Woonsocket homes have unique configurations that require custom work.

Installation happens on your roof, so we take safety seriously. We remove your old cap if there is one, clean the chimney crown, and install your new stainless steel chimney cap with proper fastening techniques. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’ll see immediate protection from the elements.

Stainless Steel Chimney Caps

What You Actually Get

Stainless steel construction that won’t rust out in a few years like cheaper materials. We use quality materials because replacing a chimney cap every few years defeats the purpose.

Custom sizing when your chimney doesn’t fit standard dimensions. Many Woonsocket homes have older chimneys that need precise measurements, and we handle the fabrication in-house.

Proper installation techniques that prevent wind damage and ensure the cap stays put during storms. We’ve seen too many caps installed incorrectly by contractors who don’t understand chimney systems. Our CSI certification means we know how to do it right the first time.

How long does a stainless steel chimney cap last?

A quality stainless steel chimney cap should last 15-20 years or more with proper installation. The key is using the right grade of stainless steel and installing it correctly so it doesn’t get damaged by wind or weather. Cheaper caps made from galvanized steel might only last 5-7 years before they start rusting and need replacement. We use marine-grade stainless steel that holds up to New England weather conditions, including the salt air that can affect coastal Rhode Island areas.
It depends on your chimney’s dimensions and configuration. Many homes in Woonsocket have older chimneys with non-standard sizes, especially if they have multiple flues or unusual crown shapes. During our free estimate, we measure everything and let you know if standard sizing will work or if you need custom fabrication. Custom caps aren’t necessarily more expensive – sometimes they’re the only option that will fit properly and provide adequate protection. A poorly fitting cap is worse than no cap at all.
We handle animal removal as part of our chimney services, but the approach depends on what type of animal and the situation. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons are common in Woonsocket chimneys. If there are babies involved, we wait for them to mature enough to leave safely – it’s both more humane and often required by law. Once animals are out, we clean up any nesting materials and debris, then install your chimney cap to prevent future intrusions. The cap installation is the permanent solution that stops the problem from happening again.
Chimney cap installation typically ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, depending on your chimney’s size, height, accessibility, and whether you need custom fabrication. Single-flue caps cost less than multi-flue caps, and chimneys that are difficult to access safely will cost more due to the extra time and equipment needed. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re looking at before any work begins. We also offer in-house financing if you want to spread the cost out rather than paying everything upfront.
Chimney cap installation involves working on your roof and properly securing the cap to prevent wind damage, so most homeowners hire professionals for safety and warranty reasons. If the cap isn’t installed correctly, it can blow off during storms and potentially damage your roof or property. There’s also the issue of measuring correctly – an improperly sized cap won’t provide adequate protection and might actually create drafting problems with your fireplace. Our installation comes with the peace of mind that it’s done right and won’t cause problems down the road.
A properly installed chimney cap should not negatively affect your fireplace’s performance. In fact, it often improves it by preventing downdrafts and keeping rain from coming down the flue. The key is proper sizing and installation – the cap needs to allow adequate airflow while providing protection. Some homeowners worry that a cap will restrict airflow, but quality caps are designed with this in mind. If you’re having drafting issues after cap installation, it usually means the cap wasn’t sized correctly or there are other chimney problems that need attention.
