What goes into a cap job in Robinson Hills
Before you approve a cap in Robinson Hills, these are worth knowing.
Chimney swifts and the timing of a cap installation
Chimney swifts are birds that roost and nest inside chimneys, and they appear on the federal list of birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. An active nest is not something to cap over or pull out.
If you hear chattering from the flue, especially in the warmer months, mention it when you book. We confirm what is inside before scheduling the cap and explain how the timing works for your chimney. Once the birds have left and the flue is clear, the new cap and screen keep the next season's visitors out.
Covering a chimney you no longer use
A fireplace that has not been lit in years still has an open flue unless something covers it. Rain, debris and animals do not know the fireplace is retired.
A standard cap keeps the flue covered while leaving it ready if you decide to use the fireplace again. Some homeowners ask about closing the chimney more permanently, which is a different project with different considerations. We explain both during the visit and write up the option you choose, with the free inspection covering the rest of the chimney top at the same time.
Checking community exterior rules before ordering
Some neighborhoods have an association that reviews visible exterior changes, and a bright copper cap can draw attention where a black cap would not. The rules differ from one community to the next, and we do not assume what yours allow.
If your community has a review process, check it before you approve a finish. We can put the product name, material and color in writing to help with any request you submit. The cap's size and mounting stay the same whatever finish you pick, so the decision is only about appearance.
Checking more than the cap after a storm
When a storm has loosened or removed a cap, other parts at the top may have been affected too. Flashing, crown edges and the flue tiles can all take a hit from debris or wind.
We inspect the whole chimney top along with the cap. If other damage is visible, we explain it and price it separately, so you can see what relates to the storm and what does not. That record can be useful if you need to document the damage. Our 24/7 emergency line is there when a cap comes off and leaves the flue open.

Short answers from our chimney team in Robinson Hills. Call for anything not covered here.
Does the 72-hour 10% discount apply to a cap replacement?
Yes. Any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off, and chimney cap replacement qualifies. Mention it when you book and we will show the savings on your written estimate.
Will a screened cap keep animals out for good?
A well-fitted screen keeps birds, squirrels and larger animals out of the flue, provided the screen stays intact and attached. Insects can still nest under the lid outside the flue. A look at each sweep keeps the screen in shape.
