Small details that decide a chimney cap fit
Spark arrestor mesh and its opening size
Where a spark arrestor screen is fitted to a masonry chimney, the Florida Building Code limits the size of its openings in both directions. The mesh must be fine enough to stop embers and open enough not to choke the flue with soot.
That is why screen choice is not only about keeping animals out. A mesh that is too fine can clog and hold smoke back, while one that is too open can let larger embers through. We choose a screen that meets the code and suits how you use the fireplace. The estimate states the screen type so you can see what was chosen.
Caps disturbed during roof work
Roof replacement and repair often involve work right around the chimney. A cap may be removed, bent, stepped on or refitted loosely along the way. Sometimes it is not refitted at all, and the gap is only noticed when debris appears in the firebox.
If your roof was worked on recently, tell us when and by whom. We check whether the cap is seated and fastened as it should be, and whether the flue tile or crown was damaged. We describe what we find in neutral terms, so you have a clear account to share with the roofer if needed.
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.
Roof access and protecting the roof
Reaching the chimney top means crossing part of the roof. Roof coverings differ in how well they take foot traffic, and some need careful stepping or boards to spread the load. We look at the roof around the chimney before climbing and plan the access to avoid damage.
If you know of loose or fragile areas, or a recent roof repair, tell us. We note the roof condition near the chimney in the findings. Where we see roof damage that is not ours to fix, we say so plainly, so you can call a roofer with a clear description.

Chimney cap FAQs for homes in Hallandale Beach
Is my old cap worth repairing instead of replacing?
Sometimes. A sound cap with loose fasteners can be refastened. A cap with rusted-through mesh, a split lid or broken legs is usually past saving. We show you what we found and let you choose the route.
What will I receive once the cap is fitted?
A written record of the work: the cap installed, its metal, how it was fastened and anything we noted but did not repair. Keep it with your house papers, because the next person on the roof will find it useful.
Are chimney caps covered by a warranty?
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation we carry out. The cap itself may carry its maker's own terms, and we pass those details on with the written record of the work.
