What's Included in Your Installation

Every chimney cap installation includes a thorough inspection of your chimney system, professional removal of any existing cap, and installation of a properly sized new cap with stainless steel mesh screening.

We use high-quality stainless steel caps that resist corrosion and handle New England’s harsh weather conditions. These aren’t the thin, flimsy caps you’ll find at home improvement stores.

In Bristol County, we see a lot of damage from ice dams and heavy snow loads. Our caps are designed with proper overhangs and reinforced construction to handle these local conditions. We also ensure proper ventilation so your fireplace draws correctly and efficiently.

How long does a chimney cap installation take in Raynham Center?

Most chimney cap installations take 2-3 hours from start to finish. This includes the initial inspection, removal of any old cap, cleaning the chimney crown, and installing the new cap properly. The timeline can vary if we discover issues that need addressing first, like crown repairs or flue cleaning. We always inspect before we start so there are no surprises. Weather conditions can affect timing too. We won’t install a cap in heavy rain or high winds because proper installation requires dry conditions and safe working conditions on your roof.

What type of chimney cap material works best in Massachusetts weather?

Stainless steel chimney caps perform best in Massachusetts because they resist corrosion from salt air, acid rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. They typically last 15-25 years with minimal maintenance. Galvanized steel caps are cheaper upfront but rust out faster in our climate, usually needing replacement in 5-10 years. Copper caps look beautiful and last longest but cost significantly more. For most Raynham Center homes, we recommend 304-grade stainless steel caps with reinforced construction. They provide the best balance of durability, performance, and cost for our local conditions.

Will a chimney cap affect my fireplace's performance?

A properly installed chimney cap improves fireplace performance by preventing downdrafts and maintaining consistent airflow. The mesh screening doesn’t restrict airflow when sized correctly. Poor-quality caps or incorrect installation can cause draft problems, but professional installation with the right cap eliminates these issues. We size the cap opening based on your flue dimensions and local wind patterns. You’ll actually notice better performance because the cap prevents rain from entering the flue, which can cause smoking problems and reduce efficiency. It also keeps debris out that could block airflow.

How do I know if my chimney cap needs replacement?

Visible rust, loose or missing mesh screening, and water stains near your fireplace are clear signs your cap needs replacement. If you’re hearing animals in your chimney or finding debris in your fireplace, your cap isn’t doing its job. Caps that are pulling away from the chimney crown, have damaged or missing spark arrestor mesh, or show significant corrosion should be replaced immediately. These issues only get worse and can lead to expensive damage. During our inspection, we check for proper fit, secure mounting, and overall condition. We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Can you install a chimney cap on any type of chimney?

We install caps on masonry chimneys, prefab chimneys, and multi-flue systems. Each type requires different mounting methods and cap styles, but all can be properly capped. Masonry chimneys typically use caps that mount to the chimney crown or top course of bricks. Prefab chimneys often need caps that attach directly to the flue pipe. Multi-flue chimneys require custom caps that cover multiple openings. We measure each chimney individually and select or fabricate the right cap for your specific setup. One size definitely doesn’t fit all when it comes to chimney caps.

What's the difference between a chimney cap and a damper?

A chimney cap sits on top of your chimney and keeps water, animals, and debris out. A damper is inside the chimney and controls airflow when you’re using or not using your fireplace. Some top-mount dampers combine both functions – they seal the flue from the top and can be opened when you want to use your fireplace. These are especially effective for energy savings. Traditional throat dampers are located just above the firebox and often don’t seal well after years of use. We can install both a cap and a top-mount damper for maximum protection and efficiency.
