Getting the cap right on Roosevelt Park chimneys
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Roosevelt Park.
Three different parts sit at the top of a chimney
The metal cap over the flue, the masonry crown around it and the sheet metal chase cover on a framed chimney are separate parts with separate jobs. Homeowners often call all three a cover, which is how the wrong product gets ordered.
Our first task on the roof is naming the part that failed. A cap sits on or around the flue opening and keeps rain, leaves and animals out while smoke still leaves freely. When the damage is really in the crown or the chase top, we say so and write that work up on its own line.
Made-to-measure caps for unusual chimney tops
Some chimneys do not suit any stock cap. Oversized crowns, flues in odd positions, tall tiles or unusual shapes can call for a cap fabricated to measured dimensions.
A custom cap takes more time to order and costs more than a stock one, and we are upfront about both. We measure carefully, confirm the dimensions and explain the design before ordering. When a stock product can do the job properly, we recommend it instead. The written estimate lists which approach we propose for your Roosevelt Park chimney and why.
What the free inspection checks at the chimney top
The free inspection is our look at the whole top of the chimney, cap included. We check the cap or the empty opening, the flue tile rims, the crown surface, visible flashing at the roof line and signs of water or animals.
From below, we look at the damper and the firebox for debris or rust that points to what has been coming down the flue. You get a plain account of what we saw and a written estimate for what we recommend, and the inspection costs you nothing, with no obligation to book.
Looking after a chimney cap
A good cap needs little attention. The main tasks are checking that the screen is not clogged with soot or leaves and that the cap is still firmly attached, which a sweep can do at each cleaning.
After strong wind or a falling branch, take a look from the ground to see if the cap is still level and in place. If the fireplace is used often, the screen may need brushing between sweeps. A routine sweep visit is a good time to have the cap looked at as well.

Cap replacement answers for Roosevelt Park homeowners
Questions we hear on cap visits in Roosevelt Park, answered plainly.
Can one cap cover a chimney with several flues?
Often, yes. A crown-mounted cap can cover several openings if each flue still gets the open area it needs and the crown can hold the anchors. When flue heights or uses differ a lot, separate caps may fit better.
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.
