Professional chimney cap installation that stops water damage, blocks animals, and prevents dangerous sparks from escaping your chimney.
Hear from Our Customers
Your chimney cap isn’t just a metal cover—it’s the first line of defense against everything trying to damage your home. Water stops seeping into your brickwork, which means no more cracked mortar or deteriorating walls. Animals can’t build nests that create fire hazards or blockages.
You get real energy savings because drafts stop pulling heated air up your chimney. Sparks stay contained instead of landing on your roof or nearby trees. Most importantly, you stop dealing with expensive emergency repairs that could have been prevented.
When we install your chimney cap in South Elmwood, you’re investing in protection that works 24/7, through every Rhode Island storm and every season your fireplace isn’t in use.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Norfolk and Plymouth Counties for over 25 years. We understand how coastal moisture affects the brick and mortar in South Elmwood’s historic homes—many built between 1845 and 1930.
Our CSIA-certified technicians know the specific challenges these older chimneys face. We’ve seen how Rhode Island’s freeze-thaw cycles crack inadequate caps and how the wrong materials fail after just a few seasons.
That’s why we use materials designed for New England weather and custom-fit every cap to your chimney’s exact dimensions. Your historic home deserves protection that lasts, not a quick fix that fails when you need it most.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney’s condition and measure for the perfect fit. Every chimney is different, especially in South Elmwood’s historic district, so we assess your specific needs before recommending materials.
Next, we select the right cap for your situation—stainless steel for durability, copper for historic charm, or custom designs for unusual flue configurations. We check that your chimney crown and flashing are in good condition because a cap won’t work properly on a damaged foundation.
Installation takes 10-15 minutes for standard single-flue chimneys. We secure everything properly so your cap stays put through high winds and heavy snow. Before we leave, we test the fit and explain how to spot any future issues. You get a warranty on both materials and installation.

South Elmwood’s historic homes need chimney caps that complement their architecture while providing serious protection. We offer stainless steel caps that resist rust and corrosion—perfect for Rhode Island’s coastal climate. Copper caps develop a natural patina that looks authentic on Victorian and Colonial Revival homes.
For homes with multiple flues or unusual configurations, we create custom caps that fit perfectly and maintain proper ventilation. Every cap includes spark arrestors to prevent embers from escaping and animal guards to keep birds and squirrels out.
We also handle chimney cap replacement when your existing cap is damaged, rusted, or missing entirely. Many South Elmwood homes have caps that were installed decades ago with materials that don’t hold up to today’s weather patterns. Upgrading to modern materials and proper installation techniques gives you protection that actually works.
