Getting the cap right on Robinswood chimneys
Straight answers about cap work in Robinswood, from the people who do it.
When an animal is already inside the chimney
A cap keeps animals out. It does not solve the problem of one that is already in the flue or on the smoke shelf. Closing the top over an occupied chimney can trap an animal inside, and that creates a different and worse situation.
If you hear scratching, chirping or movement, tell us when you call. The first visit then focuses on confirming the chimney is empty and handling any removal properly. The new cap goes on after the flue is clear, so prevention follows the removal instead of sealing a problem in.
Smoke at the fireplace after a cap change
If smoke starts spilling into the room after a new cap was installed, the cap is one of several things to check. A lid set too low, a screen that is too fine or a cap undersized for the flue can restrict the outlet.
Draft also depends on the flue size, the fireplace opening, the chimney height and the house itself, so a cap is not always the cause. We check the cap against the code's open-area rules and the manufacturer's data first. If the problem lies elsewhere, we tell you what we found and what we recommend next.
What sets the price of a cap replacement
The main factors are the size and number of flues, the cap style and metal, whether a stock size fits or a cap must be made to measure, the mounting method and how easy it is to reach the chimney on your roof.
Removal of a stubborn old cap, debris in the flue and any crown or tile repair are separate items. We give you a written estimate before work begins, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees. Work booked within 72 hours after the free inspection is also 10% off, which we show on the estimate.
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.

Cap replacement answers for Robinswood homeowners
If your question is not here, our Robinswood team is a phone call away.
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.
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.
