Our approach to chimney caps in Falcon Trace
Before you approve a cap in Falcon Trace, these are worth knowing.
Framed chimney chases use a chase cover
A chimney built as a framed box around a metal flue pipe is topped by a sheet metal chase cover that spans the whole chase. The flue pipe then passes through the cover and ends in its own termination cap.
When the problem is rust or pooling water on that broad top panel, the job is chase cover replacement. When the small cap on the pipe is damaged, it is a termination cap replacement matched to the chimney system. We identify which part failed before quoting, and if both need work the estimate lists them separately.
Scheduling crown repair and a new cap together
When the crown needs repair and the cap needs replacing, doing both in one visit means one ladder setup and one roof access. The crown work comes first so the cap goes onto a sound surface.
Crown repair and cap replacement stay separate lines in the estimate, each with its own explanation. Chimney crown repair has its own considerations, such as curing time for some materials, and we tell you if the cap has to wait a short time before it can be mounted. You approve each part on its own.
Flues of different sizes under one cover
A chimney can hold a large fireplace flue next to a smaller appliance flue. A shared cap has to provide enough open area for the larger one while still covering the smaller one properly.
We measure each flue opening and check the cap's open area against the largest. If a shared cap would work for one flue but crowd the other, separate caps are the better solution. You get our reasoning in the estimate, along with the option we recommend.
Comparing two chimney cap quotes fairly
Two cap quotes can differ because one covers a stock single-flue cap and the other a custom crown-mounted cover, or because one includes removal and cleanup and the other does not. The total alone does not tell you which job is cheaper.
Line up the cap type, size, metal, screen, mounting and included extras. Our estimates are written to make that comparison easy. If another quote looks very different from ours, ask us about the gap and we will explain what we believe the difference is.

Chimney cap questions from Falcon Trace
Answers from our specialists in Falcon Trace, with no sales pressure.
How do you know what size cap my chimney needs in Falcon Trace?
We measure it on the roof. For a single-flue cap, that means the outside of the flue tile and how far it stands above the crown. For a crown-mounted cap, we measure every flue and the crown surface around them.
Could a new cap make my fireplace draw worse?
A cap that is too small, set too low or fitted with too fine a screen can restrict the outlet. We check the cap against the code's open-area rules and the maker's data. Many draft problems come from elsewhere, and we tell you when that is the case.
