About this service
A chimney cap is the metal cover at the very top that keeps out rain, debris, and animals. If yours is missing, rusted, or loose, water can pool inside and cause internal damage or blockages. We repair or replace these caps to ensure your flue stays clear and dry, preventing hazardous build-up. This is a vital step in routine home maintenance. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
