A close-up view of a traditional brick chimney constructed from reddish-brown bricks with clearly visible mortar joints, topped with a bright red metal chimney cap featuring a slightly overhanging, vented design. 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.

We've Been Protecting Clayville Homes
We’ve been serving Providence County homeowners for over 25 years. We understand how coastal moisture affects chimney systems here and what materials hold up best against our freeze-thaw cycles. Our CSIA certified technicians know the difference between a quick fix and lasting protection. We use materials designed specifically for New England weather – not generic caps that fail after a few seasons. When we install your chimney cap in Clayville, we’re thinking about the next 15-20 years, not just getting through this winter.

How Chimney Cap Installation Works

The Process Takes About 15 Minutes
We start by measuring your chimney to ensure the perfect fit. Single flue, multiple flues, standard masonry, or prefab metal – we size everything precisely because a loose cap is useless. Next, we select the right material for your situation. Stainless steel for durability, copper for longevity and appearance, or aluminum for cost-effective protection. Each has its place depending on your chimney type and budget. Installation itself is straightforward once we’re on your roof. We secure the cap properly, test the fit, and make sure the screen mesh is positioned to keep animals out while allowing proper airflow. Most installations take 10-15 minutes once we’re set up.

What's Included In Your Installation
You get a complete assessment of your current chimney condition before we install anything. If we spot issues with your crown, flashing, or mortar that could cause problems later, we’ll let you know upfront. The cap itself comes with proper mounting hardware designed for your specific chimney type. We don’t use universal brackets that sort of fit – everything is sized correctly for a secure, weatherproof seal. In Clayville’s climate, we pay special attention to ice dam prevention and wind resistance. Your cap needs to handle nor’easters and the temperature swings that come with being this close to the coast. We install accordingly.

How long does a chimney cap last in Rhode Island weather?

Quality chimney caps typically last 15-25 years in Rhode Island, depending on the material and maintenance. Stainless steel caps handle our coastal moisture and freeze-thaw cycles best, often lasting the full 25 years. Copper caps can last even longer but cost more upfront. Aluminum caps are more budget-friendly and still give you 10-15 years of solid protection. The key is proper installation and using materials designed for New England weather. Generic caps from big box stores might save money initially, but they often fail within 5-7 years, especially with our ice and wind conditions.
We handle animal removal as part of the process when needed. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons are common in Clayville chimneys, especially during nesting season. First, we safely remove any animals and clean out nesting materials. We check for damage they might have caused to your flue liner or damper. Then we install the cap with proper mesh screening to prevent future intrusions. The screening is sized specifically to keep animals out while allowing proper airflow. Too fine and you restrict ventilation; too coarse and smaller animals get through. We use the right mesh for your situation.
We install caps on masonry chimneys, prefab metal chimneys, and custom configurations. Each type requires different mounting methods and cap styles. Traditional masonry chimneys usually get caps that mount to the crown or chimney walls. Prefab metal chimneys often need caps designed specifically for the manufacturer’s specifications. Multi-flue chimneys require larger caps or multiple single-flue caps depending on the layout. We measure everything precisely and select the right cap style for your specific chimney. Custom sizing is available when standard caps won’t fit properly.
Most chimney cap installations in Clayville run between $200-$600 total, depending on the cap material and your chimney configuration. Basic stainless steel caps start around $200 installed, while premium copper caps can reach $600 or more. Single flue installations are straightforward and cost less. Multi-flue chimneys or custom configurations increase the price due to larger caps and more complex installation. We provide upfront pricing after measuring your chimney. No surprises, no hidden fees. The quote includes the cap, all mounting hardware, and professional installation.
Yes, we warranty both the cap and our installation work. Most caps come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years on basic models to lifetime warranties on premium copper caps. Our installation work is guaranteed for two years. If the cap comes loose, leaks, or has installation-related issues, we’ll fix it at no charge. We also provide free follow-up inspections to make sure everything is performing as expected. After 25 years in business, we stand behind our work and want you completely satisfied with your chimney protection.
Spring and fall are ideal for chimney cap installation in Rhode Island. Weather conditions are safer for roof work, and you’re preparing for the seasons when you need your chimney most. We avoid installations during ice storms or when temperatures are below 20 degrees for safety reasons. Summer installations are possible but we schedule them for early morning to avoid working on hot roofs. If you’re having emergency issues – water leaking in or animals in your chimney – we can often handle urgent installations even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. Your safety and home protection come first.
