Our approach to chimney caps in Southchase
Practical points from our chimney cap installers in Southchase.
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.
Our workmanship warranty and the product's own coverage
Two kinds of coverage apply to a new cap. The manufacturer covers the product under its own terms, and our workmanship warranty covers the installation we perform.
We keep those separate in your paperwork so you know who to call about what. If a fastener we set works loose, that is ours to fix. If the product itself has a defect, we help you with the maker's process. Keep the estimate, the product name and the invoice together with your home records, and call our local team with any question.
What a spark screen does on a wood-burning fireplace
When wood burns, small embers can rise with the smoke. The spark screen on the cap is meant to stop larger ones from leaving the chimney top and landing on the roof or nearby plants.
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, addresses spark arrestors, and the Florida Building Code sets the screen's opening size and open area. We fit caps with screens that follow those rules. A screen is a safety part rather than decoration, and we treat a missing or torn one that way.
Requests for a spark arrestor installation
Some homeowners ask specifically for a spark arrestor, sometimes after a neighbor's roof fire or advice from someone else. A spark arrestor is a screened cap, and the code sets rules for its screen.
We check whether your existing cap already has a suitable screen, whether a screen can be added or whether a new cap is needed. The estimate explains what you are getting and which requirements apply. Adding a screen to an unsuitable cap would not give you the protection you asked for.

Chimney cap questions from Southchase
Short answers from our chimney team in Southchase. Call for anything not covered here.
How do you know what size cap my chimney needs in Southchase?
We measure it on the roof. For a single-flue cap, that means the outside of the flue tile and how far it stands above the crown. For a crown-mounted cap, we measure every flue and the crown surface around them.
Is a spark arrestor the same thing as a chimney cap?
A spark arrestor is the screen, usually built into a cap, that stops larger embers from leaving the chimney. Many caps include one. The code sets its opening size and open area, and we check both.
