About this service
A chimney cap prevents rain, debris, and animals from entering your flue. If your cap is loose, rusted, or missing, it leaves your chimney vulnerable to expensive water damage. We repair existing caps or install new ones to ensure a proper fit. Costs vary based on the size of the flue and whether a custom-fitted cap is needed. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer offers clear, dry weather, making it the perfect time to handle exterior masonry repairs. Since your fireplace is likely dormant, we can complete structural work without disrupting your home life. From tuckpointing to chimney cap replacements, we tackle the projects that are harder to manage during the cold months. Call us now to get your repairs finished while the weather stays cooperative.
