Our approach to chimney caps in Audubon Park
What our pros check and why, on cap jobs across Audubon Park.
What an uncovered flue lets into the chimney
Without a cap, rain falls straight down the flue, leaves and twigs collect on the damper, and birds or small animals can find their way in. Moisture inside the flue also mixes with deposits and can leave odors in the room.
Replacing a missing cap is one of the simpler chimney jobs, and it is usually worth doing promptly. We fit a cap sized to your flue with a screen suited to the fireplace, and our local team handles the ladder and roof work. Book within 72 hours after your free inspection and the service comes with 10% off.
Deposits clogging the screen of an older cap
Soot and creosote can build up on the mesh of a spark screen, gradually closing the openings the smoke needs. A clogged screen can contribute to slow draft and smoke at the fireplace opening.
We check the screen during the inspection. Light deposits can be brushed off as part of a cleaning visit. A screen that is heavily coated, corroded or already torn is a reason to replace the cap. Regular sweeping keeps the whole flue in better shape, including the mesh at the top, and the cap we fit can be removed for that work.
Black powder coat or bare metal finish
Replacement caps come in bare stainless, copper and coated finishes, often black. The finish is mostly about how the chimney top looks from the street and whether it matches the roof, gutters or an existing chase.
A coating over a lesser base metal is not the same as a coated stainless cap, so we name the base metal and the finish separately in the estimate. If you care about the look from the driveway, say so during the visit and we will show you the product options that fit your flue before ordering.
Screens pushed in or chewed by animals
Squirrels, raccoons and other animals sometimes push against a screen, pull at a loose edge or chew around a gap. A screen that has been forced open no longer keeps anything out.
We check the screen edges and the joins at the lid and the base. A damaged screen on a sound cap can sometimes be replaced alone, and a cap with a weak frame is better replaced as a whole. If an animal may be inside, removal comes first and the new cap follows once the flue is clear.

What people in Audubon Park ask about chimney caps
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Audubon Park is free.
Can one cap cover a chimney with several flues?
Often, yes. A crown-mounted cap can cover several openings if each flue still gets the open area it needs and the crown can hold the anchors. When flue heights or uses differ a lot, separate caps may fit better.
Do you replace caps on prefabricated metal chimneys?
Yes. A factory-built chimney takes the termination cap its manufacturer lists, so we identify the system and order the matching part. Decorative shrouds go on only when they are listed and labeled for that chimney.
