How we fit a chimney cap in Midtown
Refasten, repair or replace the cap
Not every cap problem calls for a new cap. A sound cap that has come loose can often be refastened once the tile or crown beneath it is sound. A cap with a failed screen may take a replacement screen from its maker. A cap with a rusted frame or a cracked lid is usually finished.
We explain which of those routes fits what we found, and why. You see the cost of each option before choosing. If refastening is enough, we say so. Replacing a working cap simply because a new one is on the truck is not how our family team runs a job.
You decide the next step
After the inspection, the decision is yours. You receive the findings and a free written estimate that separates the cap from any repairs we found. Some people approve everything at once, some approve the cap and wait on the rest, and some take time to think.
We do not start work until you have approved it, and we do not add items without asking. If you have questions after reading the estimate, call and ask. If you decide to go ahead within 72 hours of your free inspection, the approved work carries a 10% discount.
Clearing the flue before capping it
Fitting a new cap is a natural moment to check the flue, because the top is open and reachable. If the flue holds soot, debris or old nesting, it makes sense to deal with that before the cap goes on.
Chimney cleaning is a separate service with its own line on the estimate. You can choose to combine it with the cap or leave it for another time. We explain what we saw in the flue so you can decide. What we will not do is fit a cap over a blocked flue without telling you about the blockage.
When another company recommended a new cap
Sometimes we hear from someone after another company has recommended a new cap. A second opinion is reasonable, especially if the reason given was vague. We look at the cap and the chimney top ourselves rather than simply repeating the earlier advice.
Share the earlier estimate if you are comfortable doing so. We explain where we agree, where we see things differently and why. Our free written estimate stands on its own, so you can compare both and choose. If the cap does not need replacing, we tell you that plainly.

Asked about chimney cap replacement in Midtown
Do I need to measure the flue before calling you?
No, and please stay off the roof. We measure every flue during the free inspection, along with the crown or tile the cap will fasten to. You only need to describe what you have noticed and roughly when it started.
How does the inspection discount apply to cap replacement?
Your own free inspection starts the window. For the next 72 hours, the cap and any other item on that estimate can be approved at 10% off, and later approvals keep the written price.
Will you need to drill into my chimney crown?
Only for caps that mount on the crown. Their flanges are fastened into the crown and kept back from its edge so the concrete does not crack. Caps that clamp to a flue tile or band around the brick need no drilling there.
