How we handle chimney cap replacement in New Malibu
What our pros check and why, on cap jobs across New Malibu.
What the spark screen itself should be made of
R1003.9.2 also asks for arrestor screens with heat and corrosion resistance equivalent to 19-gage galvanized steel or 24-gage stainless steel. Thin decorative wire does not meet that description.
When a homeowner asks us to add a screen to an existing cap, we check whether the cap body can accept one of suitable metal and size. Often it is cleaner to replace the whole cap with a unit designed around a proper screen. The estimate spells out the screen material so the choice can be compared across proposals, and our workmanship warranty covers the installation we perform.
Flues that serve something other than the fireplace
Some chimneys hold a second flue for a furnace or water heater, or a flue that was relined for another appliance. Each of those vents can carry its own termination requirements from the appliance or venting manufacturer.
Before we cap a chimney with more than one opening, we find out what each flue serves. A cover chosen for a wood-burning fireplace may be the wrong answer for an appliance vent sharing the same masonry. If you know which equipment connects to the chimney, mention it when you book, and we confirm it on site.
Keeping the cap details with your home records
The cap size, model, metal and mounting method are worth keeping. They help with future maintenance, warranty questions and home sale paperwork.
Your written estimate and invoice record those details. If you sell the house or someone else services the chimney later, that information saves guessing and a trip onto the roof just to measure. Our local team can also look up the job if you misplace the paperwork, so call and ask.
Why the roof work belongs with professionals
HY-C, one of the cap manufacturers, states in its own installation guidance that it does not recommend homeowners climb their own roofs and that installation is better left to roofing and chimney professionals.
We agree. Chimney tops are often at the highest and steepest part of the roof, and cap work involves carrying tools and parts up a ladder. Our crew is equipped for it. You can tell us everything you see from the ground, and our specialists handle the climbing, measuring and fitting.

Chimney cap questions from New Malibu
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in New Malibu is free.
Is stainless steel or copper the right cap for my home?
Both suit an inland chimney. Stainless is chosen for durability and value, copper mostly for its look as it weathers. We price both in the estimate so you can compare them side by side.
Could I install a chimney cap myself?
HY-C, a cap maker, advises against homeowners climbing onto roofs for this work. Measuring, removing a seized cap and anchoring a new one all happen at the top of a ladder. Our crew is equipped for it, and the inspection costs nothing.
