What goes into a new chimney cap in Pembroke Pines
If the fire draws differently after a new cap
A cap that fits well should not change how the fireplace draws. Smoke that lingers or rolls into the room after a cap was fitted makes the new part the first thing to check. It may be too small, set too low or carry a mesh too fine for the flue.
Stop using the fireplace and tell us what changed and when. We check the cap size, the lid height and the screen against the flue. Masonry chimney design guidance treats the height of a rain cap above the flue as part of the draft calculation, so the details matter. We explain what we find before proposing a change.
Workmanship warranty and the maker's terms
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation we carry out, including how the cap is fitted and fastened. Ask us what it covers before you approve, and we explain it in plain terms.
The cap itself may also carry its maker's own terms. Those are separate from ours, and we pass the details on with the written record of the work. If a problem appears later, tell us what you see. We look at whether it traces to the installation, the product or a new cause, such as storm damage.
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.
Checking the cap once it is fitted
Once the cap is on, we check that it sits square, that the fasteners are tight and that the lid height suits the flue. We look at the screen for any damage from handling and confirm that the lid or cap can be removed for cleaning.
If there is a way to confirm the draw safely during the visit, we do so, and we tell you what we observed. Any concern about the draft that remains is noted in the written record. You should not have to discover a problem with the new cap the first time you light a fire.
Checked before a new cap is ordered in Pembroke Pines

Questions about chimney caps in Pembroke Pines
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.
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.
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.
