Chimney Cap Repair
A cap that has lifted, lost its screen, or cracked a weld is often worth saving — stainless and copper caps regularly outlast the fasteners and mesh holding them together. We re-secure a cap that has shifted, replace torn or missing spark-arrestor screen with correctly sized mesh, and re-weld broken lid supports where the metal is still sound. It is an hour of work that keeps rain, leaves and animals out of a flue for years more. What we will not do is re-attach a galvanized cap that is rusting through, or fasten a cap back onto a crown crumbling underneath it — in both cases you would be paying us to postpone the real fix. We check the crown and the flue collar before quoting the repair.

Every chimney cap repair includes:
- Loose or shifted cap re-secured to a sound mounting
- Spark-arrestor mesh replaced with correctly sized screen
- Cracked lid supports and welds repaired where the metal is sound
- Crown and flue collar checked before the repair is quoted
- A straight replacement recommendation when the cap is past saving
Scoped from a graded inspection

We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it.

FAQ
Common questions about chimney cap repair.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.
Are your technicians certified?
Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.
Do you provide written quotes before work begins?
Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.
What's the Prime Program membership?
Prime Program is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
