From flue measurement to fastened cap in Opa-locka
Smoke that returns only on windy days
Some fireplaces draw well on calm days and push smoke back into the room when the wind picks up. The chimney height, nearby roof shapes and trees all play a part, and the cap is one piece of that picture rather than the whole answer.
Tell us which days the smoke comes back and roughly where the wind was from. We look at the cap and the flue top with that in mind. A different cap can help in some cases, but we will not promise it fixes a draft problem that has another cause. The estimate explains what we expect a change to achieve.
How the inspection discount applies to cap work
The offer is tied to one date, the day of your own free inspection. Whatever you approve from the estimate in the 72 hours that follow gets a 10% discount. No flyer or calendar date changes that.
The discount applies to the cap and to other items on the same estimate, such as tile or crown repair, if you approve them in the window. Nothing runs down on a clock, and nobody will press you to decide on the spot. If you need longer to think, the estimate still stands at its written price. You choose the timing that suits you.
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.
Rust streaks running below the cap
Brown or orange streaks on the crown or down the sides of the chimney often start at the cap. Rain runs over rusting metal and carries the stain with it. On a framed chimney, the same streaks can come from the chase cover instead.
We trace the streak back to the metal it came from before recommending anything. If the cap is the source, a replacement in a metal that suits the chimney should stop new staining from that source. Cleaning existing stains from masonry is a separate matter, and we tell you honestly whether it is worth doing or best left to weather.

What to ask about a chimney cap in Opa-locka
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.
Can the new cap come off for chimney sweeping?
It should. Where a spark arrestor is fitted, the Florida Building Code requires the screen or cap to be removable for flue cleaning. We show you how the lid or cap comes off and leave it that way.
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.
