Small details that decide a chimney cap fit
Deciding on related repairs in the same window
A cap job often turns up a related repair, such as a cracked tile top or a worn crown under a multi-flue cap. You may want to handle them together, or you may want to spread them out. Both are reasonable.
If you approve several items within 72 hours of your free inspection, you save 10% on each of them. If you approve only the cap now and the rest later, the later work is priced at the estimate's written figure. Either way, we explain which repairs protect the new cap and which can safely wait.
Keeping the flue covered while work is open
Between removing an old cap and fitting the new one, the flue is open to the weather. A simple cap job can finish in one visit, but some involve tile or crown repair that needs time to set. We do not leave an open chimney exposed overnight.
Whenever a work day ends with the top still open, the chimney is covered so rain and debris stay out. If a second visit is needed for a custom cap, we explain how the flue will be protected in between. That step is part of the job, not an extra, and it appears in the description of the work.
Comparing two cap quotes fairly
Two cap quotes can look far apart and still describe different jobs. One may include tile repair and flue clearing while another covers only the cap. One may name a specific stainless grade while another says only stainless.
Lay the quotes side by side and compare the style, the metal, the screen, the fastening and the extra items. If ours lacks a detail the other one has, ask us to add it. We would rather you choose on equal terms than on a total that hides what is inside it.
Wind and spray on the chimney top near shore
Corrosion data for coastal air notes that wind speed, wind direction and distance from the shore all change how fast exposed metal corrodes. On a chimney top, the faces that meet the wind can weather differently from the sheltered ones.
When we inspect a cap near the coast, we compare the exposed and sheltered sides. That gives a sense of how the metal is weathering and whether the replacement needs a different material. We note the pattern in the findings, so you can see why a particular cap was recommended for your home.

Before you replace a chimney cap in Bal Harbour
Can one cap cover several flues on my chimney?
Often, yes. A multi-flue cap mounts on the crown and covers all the flues together. It needs a crown sound enough to hold its fasteners and enough height to clear the tallest flue, so we check both before recommending it.
Can a chimney cap keep birds and animals out of the flue?
A cap with an intact screen blocks the opening animals use. It must not be fitted over an animal that is already inside. If you hear movement in the flue, tell us, so removal is handled before the top is closed.
Do you clean up after replacing the cap?
Yes. We take away the old cap and its hardware, clear debris from the roof area and haul it off. If the flue has to stay open overnight for any reason, we cover it at the end of the work day.
