Measuring, choosing and fastening a chimney cap
Replacing only the screen
Where the lid and frame are in good shape, a new screen can extend the life of a cap. The replacement has to come from the cap maker or match the original in fit and opening size, because the screen affects both sparks and draft. A roll of generic mesh wired into place is not the same repair.
We check whether a matching screen is available for your cap. If it is, the estimate lists it as a screen replacement rather than a new cap. If the maker no longer offers one, we explain why a whole cap may cost less trouble over time.
A family team that explains the cap findings
We are a family-owned, locally owned business. The team that looks at your chimney explains what it found in plain terms, on the roof and in writing, before any work is approved. You are not handed a brochure in place of an answer.
That matters on a small job like a cap. If something about the fit, the metal or the price seems unclear, ask. We answer from what we saw on your chimney, and if the answer changes the job, the estimate is updated before you sign off on it.
Papers that help with a cap job
Old invoices, inspection notes and chimney paperwork can explain what is on the roof. They may show that a liner was added, a cap was replaced or a crown was patched. For a factory-built chimney, the installation manual and the label tell us which cap is listed.
Gather what you have, but do not worry if there is nothing. A document describing a past repair does not prove the repair is still sound, so we check it in place anyway. The papers simply help us understand the chimney faster and avoid ordering the wrong cap for it.
When the house sits empty for long stretches
Homes that are empty for part of the year can go a long time without anyone noticing a cap problem. Debris builds up, animals move in and water stains spread before anyone looks. A cap in good shape keeps those surprises to a minimum.
If the house will be empty, consider having the cap and flue top looked at before you leave. We can check the cap, the screen and the flue for debris during a maintenance visit. Tell us how to reach you and how to access the property. The written findings can be sent to you wherever you are.

Chimney cap FAQs for homes in Magnolia Park
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.
Why does smoke come into the room after a cap was fitted?
A clogged screen, a lid set too low or a cap that is too small for the flue can hold smoke back. Stop using the fireplace and ask us to look at the cap and the flue before the next fire.
Do you work on chimneys that serve more than one appliance?
Yes. When one chimney carries flues for a fireplace and another appliance, each flue keeps the termination its appliance calls for. We identify what each flue serves before choosing one cap or separate ones.
