Chimney Cap Repair
A cap that has lifted in the wind, lost a leg, or had its mesh torn open by an animal is usually still a good cap — stainless and copper outlast their fasteners by years. We re-anchor it to the flue tile or crown with the correct stainless hardware, replace torn spark-arrestor mesh with code-sized screen, re-weld a broken leg or seam, and true a lid that has been bent out of plane. Then it gets cleaned so it reads as an intentional detail from the street again rather than something that survived a storm. If the base metal is galvanized and rusting through, a repair will not last, and we will say so instead of taking the job.

FAQ
Common questions about chimney cap repair.
How often should the chimney behind a fireplace be swept?
Plan on a Level 1 inspection every year — that's the NFPA cadence — with an actual sweep once buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For a fireplace you light through the season, that usually lands at once a heating season. Think of it as the upkeep that keeps the centerpiece of the room clean, drawing well, and ready to look its best.
Are the people working on my fireplace certified?
Yes. The inspectors who assess your chimney hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications — you can confirm them in the CSIA member directory at csia.org — and our fireplace installations are handled by NFI specialists. The craft that makes a hearth a showpiece starts with the people standing in front of it.
Can you come out fast when something goes wrong?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, an animal trapped in the flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage, same-day in most cases. A fireplace is the heart of a room; when it's at risk, we treat it that way.
Will I see a written quote before any work starts?
Always. You get a written quote before a single tool comes out, with photos of exactly what we found. Final pricing tracks the chimney's real condition and anything additional the inspection surfaces — no surprises, just a clear picture of what your fireplace needs.
Is there a maintenance plan that keeps it all on schedule?
Yes — our annual maintenance membership runs $19.99/month ($240/year) and covers a yearly Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency-response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract. It's the quiet way to keep your hearth looking and working its best year after year.
