The chimney rises prominently from the rooftop, set sharply against a vivid, cloudless blue sky that enhances the contrast between the red cap and the sky. The clean edges of the chimney cap suggest recent installation or good maintenance, and the overall structure appears sturdy and well-aligned, indicating quality masonry work.

What Happens When It's Done Right

You get a chimney that’s sealed against the elements. No more water dripping into your firebox during storms. No more squirrels or birds making nests in your flue. No more worrying about sparks escaping and starting a fire on your roof.

Your heating bills drop because drafts stop pulling warm air up and out of your house. Your chimney lasts longer because water isn’t getting into the masonry and causing freeze-thaw damage that cracks bricks and crumbles mortar.

Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your family is protected from chimney fires and carbon monoxide issues that come with blocked or damaged flues.

North Rehoboth Chimney Specialists

We Know Bristol County Chimneys

Above and Beyond Chimney has been protecting homes throughout Bristol County for years. We understand how North Rehoboth’s weather patterns affect chimney systems – the freeze-thaw cycles that crack caps, the coastal moisture that rusts metal, and the storms that can damage or blow caps right off.

Our technicians are trained in chimney construction codes and maintenance best practices. When we install your chimney cap, we’re not just putting a piece of metal on top of your chimney. We’re creating a complete protection system that’s built to handle whatever New England weather throws at it.

We treat your home like our own, using multiple layers of drop cloths and HEPA-filtered vacuums to keep your living space clean during the work.

Chimney Cap Installation Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your chimney to determine the right cap size and style for your specific flue configuration. We measure carefully because a properly fitted cap is the difference between protection and problems.

Next, we remove your old cap if you have one, checking for any damage to the crown or flue that needs attention before the new cap goes on. We clean the mounting surface and make any necessary repairs to ensure a solid, weatherproof seal.

Then we install your new cap with the right fasteners and sealing materials. We test the fit and make sure it’s secure enough to handle high winds but accessible for future maintenance. Before we leave, we clean up completely and show you exactly what we’ve done so you know your chimney is properly protected.

Complete Chimney Cap Solutions

What's Included in Your Service

Your chimney cap installation includes the cap itself, all mounting hardware, and proper sealing to prevent water infiltration. We stock caps in stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper to match your budget and durability needs.

In North Rehoboth, we see a lot of damage from the area’s coastal weather patterns. Salt air accelerates corrosion, and the freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on chimney caps. That’s why we recommend stainless steel or copper caps for most homes here – they handle the local climate better than cheaper alternatives.

We also include a thorough inspection of your chimney crown and flashing while we’re up there. Bristol County homes often have multiple issues that need attention, and catching them early saves you money. If we find problems, we’ll explain exactly what needs to be fixed and why, so you can make informed decisions about your chimney’s health.

How much does chimney cap installation cost in North Rehoboth?

Most homeowners in North Rehoboth spend between $200 and $500 for chimney cap installation, depending on the cap material and your chimney’s configuration. A basic galvanized steel cap runs $75-$200, while a stainless steel cap costs $150-$300, and copper caps range from $300-$500.The total cost includes the cap, mounting hardware, and professional installation. If your chimney has multiple flues or needs repair work before the cap can be installed, the price will be higher. We always give you an exact quote after inspecting your specific situation, so there are no surprises.
Stainless steel caps perform best in North Rehoboth’s coastal climate. They resist salt air corrosion and handle freeze-thaw cycles better than galvanized steel. Copper caps are even more durable but cost more upfront.Galvanized steel caps are the cheapest option, but they typically only last 5-7 years in coastal areas before rust becomes a problem. Stainless steel caps often last 15-20 years, and copper caps can last 30+ years with minimal maintenance. When you factor in replacement costs, stainless steel usually offers the best value for most homeowners.
Most chimney cap installations take 1-2 hours from start to finish. Simple replacements on standard chimneys are usually done in about an hour. More complex jobs – like multi-flue chimneys or installations that require crown repair – can take 2-3 hours.Weather can affect timing, especially wind conditions. We won’t install caps in high winds because safety comes first. If we need to reschedule due to weather, we’ll let you know as soon as possible and get you back on the schedule quickly.
Standard chimney cap installation typically doesn’t require a permit in North Rehoboth. However, if your chimney needs significant repair work or structural modifications, permits may be required.We handle all the permit requirements if they’re needed for your specific job. Most cap installations are considered routine maintenance rather than construction, so permits aren’t usually necessary. If there’s any question about permit requirements for your situation, we’ll check with the local building department before starting work.
Storm damage to chimney caps is common in Bristol County, especially during nor’easters and severe thunderstorms. High winds can loosen caps, and hail can dent or crack them. If your cap is damaged, you should have it inspected and repaired quickly to prevent water damage to your chimney and home.Many homeowners insurance policies cover storm damage to chimney caps, so check with your insurance company before paying out of pocket. We can provide documentation and photos of the damage to help with your claim. Emergency repairs are available when storm damage creates immediate safety concerns.
Chimney caps should be inspected annually and typically need replacement every 10-20 years, depending on the material and local weather conditions. In North Rehoboth’s coastal environment, galvanized steel caps may need replacement every 5-7 years, while stainless steel caps often last 15-20 years.Signs your cap needs replacement include visible rust, loose or missing screws, dents that affect the cap’s function, or damaged screening. If you notice water stains around your fireplace or animals getting into your chimney, your cap may not be doing its job properly. Regular inspections help catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
