Getting the cap right on Oakshire chimneys
How the job runs in Oakshire, and where your choices come in.
A cap that came off overnight
Our 24/7 emergency line takes calls when a cap has been blown off, has fallen onto the roof or is hanging loose where it could drop. Tell us where the cap is and whether anything is damaged below it.
Stay off the roof and keep people away from any area where a loose cap or pieces of it could fall. We schedule the soonest visit we can, secure or remove the loose parts and then quote the replacement. A missing cap is rarely dangerous in itself, but a loose one over a walkway needs attention quickly.
Replacing only the screen on a sound cap
Sometimes the lid and frame of a cap are fine, but the screen is torn, rusted or missing. If the manufacturer offers a replacement screen for that model, replacing it alone can be a sensible repair.
The new screen has to meet the same code requirements as the original, including opening size and heat and corrosion resistance, and it has to attach securely. If no matching screen exists or the frame is weak, replacing the whole cap is usually the better value. We tell you which option applies to your cap.
What our satisfaction guarantee means on a cap job
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on our work. On a cap replacement, that means the cap fits, sits level, holds firmly and the job site is left clean.
If something about the installation does not meet what we agreed, call us and we will come back to put it right. The guarantee covers our work as described in the approved estimate. It is part of how our family-owned business earns repeat calls and referrals in Oakshire and the surrounding area.
How a typical cap replacement visit runs
We arrive, confirm the job with you and set up our ladder and roof access. The old cap comes off, the tile or crown underneath is checked and the new cap is measured against the flue before it is fastened.
Once the cap is secure, we check the screen, the lid clearance and the fasteners, then clean up the work area and the ground below. Before leaving, we walk you through what was done and answer any questions. The paperwork shows the cap installed and the warranty on our work.

Cap replacement answers for Oakshire homeowners
If your question is not here, our Oakshire team is a phone call away.
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.
Our flue tile is almost flush with the crown. Can it still take a cap?
Perhaps, but not every style. BIA Technical Note 19B suggests the liner stand at least two inches above the masonry cap, and a bolt-on cap clamps to that projection. With a tile cut flush, a crown-mounted cap may fit, or the top may need masonry work first, which we price on its own line.
