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.

Metal Chimney Cap Foster Center

Built for Rhode Island Weather

Every chimney cap we install is designed to handle what Foster Center throws at it. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from salt air and moisture. Proper mounting keeps caps secure during high winds and ice storms.

We stock both standard and custom chimney caps. Standard caps work for most residential chimneys and cost less upfront. Custom caps are necessary for unusual chimney dimensions, multiple flues, or architectural features that interfere with standard mounting.

Foster Center’s older homes sometimes have non-standard chimney construction that requires custom solutions. We assess your specific situation during the estimate and recommend the option that fits properly and lasts longest. Custom caps cost more initially but avoid the problems that come from forcing a standard cap onto an unusual chimney configuration.

How long does a stainless steel chimney cap last in Rhode Island?

A quality stainless steel chimney cap typically lasts 15-20 years in Rhode Island’s climate. The key is proper installation and using caps made from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, which resist corrosion from salt air and weather.Cheaper caps made from galvanized steel might last 5-7 years before they start rusting. We only install caps that are built to handle New England weather long-term, because replacing a cap every few years defeats the purpose of protecting your investment. The upfront cost difference pays for itself when you’re not dealing with replacements and water damage down the road.
Chimney cap size depends on your flue dimensions and chimney construction. Most residential chimneys need caps ranging from 8×8 inches to 13×18 inches, but the only way to know for sure is to measure.We measure the outside dimensions of your flue and check for any obstructions or unusual shapes. If you have multiple flues or a custom chimney design, you might need a multi-flue cap or custom fabrication. Foster Center has many older homes with non-standard chimney construction, so we always measure before recommending a specific cap size.
Storm damage to chimney caps usually happens when they’re improperly installed or made from cheap materials. Quality stainless steel caps properly mounted to your chimney can handle Rhode Island weather, including high winds and ice.If storm damage does occur, the first step is getting your chimney covered temporarily to prevent water damage. We’ve seen caps that were installed incorrectly get torn off during storms, which is why proper mounting is so important. Our installations are designed to stay put through Foster Center’s worst weather conditions.

If you have multiple flues, unusual chimney dimensions, or architectural features that interfere with standard mounting, custom caps work better.Older homes in Foster Center sometimes have non-standard chimney construction that needs custom solutions.

The extra cost is worth it for the proper fit and long-term performance.
No. A properly installed chimney cover allows smoke and gases to escape while blocking rain and debris. The design includes openings that maintain proper airflow while providing protection from weather and animals.Poor draft problems usually come from other issues like creosote buildup, damaged flue liners, or structural problems with the chimney itself. If you’re experiencing draft issues, we can identify the real cause during our inspection. Installing a quality chimney cap won’t interfere with proper fireplace operation when done correctly.
