Crown repair with the right materials
Crown or cap, and why the difference matters
Homeowners often call the whole top of the chimney the cap. The cap is the metal hood and screen over the flue opening. The crown is the masonry surface underneath it. A leak at the top can come from either one, and fixing the wrong part leaves the leak exactly where it was.
During the free inspection we name each part on your chimney and note its condition separately. If the cap is fine and the crown is cracked, the estimate says so. If both need work, you see two lines and can decide on each one without pressure from us.
Knowing the parts also helps when you compare estimates. A company that quotes a new cap for a cracked crown, or a new crown for a torn cap screen, is solving a different problem than the one you have. The right names let you ask sharper questions.
Water repellent for the brick after crown repair
Once the crown is sound, the brick below can still absorb rain through its face. A breathable water repellent made for masonry lets moisture escape while slowing the water coming in.
Chimney waterproofing is a separate service, and it only makes sense after the top is fixed. We mention it when the brick is clearly soaking up water and leave it off the estimate when it is not needed. The choice stays yours.
Timing matters with repellents. They go on dry brick after the crown and any masonry repairs have cured. Applied too early they trap moisture, and applied over open cracks they do little. Our technicians tell you when the chimney is ready, if you decide to go ahead.
Tracing a chimney leak back to the crown
Water in the fireplace can come from the crown, the cap, the flashing, the brick itself or a cracked flue tile. More than one can leak at the same time, which is why a crown patch alone sometimes leaves a drip behind.
Our technicians check each source in order and tell you what they found. If the crown is the only problem, you hear that. If it is one of several, the chimney leak repair plan in your estimate covers the full list so the fireplace finally stays dry.
We also ask about the pattern. Does the leak happen in every rain or only with wind from one direction? Did it start after a storm or after roof work? Those details narrow the source quickly and keep the repair focused on what is actually letting water in.
A local family business on your roof
Our company is family owned and operated. The people who inspect your crown, write the estimate and do the work answer to the family that owns the business, and they answer the phone too.
That shows in small things, a call back when we say we will, a clean roof when we leave and honest advice when a coating will do and a rebuild is unnecessary. We would like to be the chimney company Tangelo Park neighbors recommend to each other.
A family business depends on the word of the people it has worked for. When a neighbor asks who fixed your chimney, we want you to give our name without hesitating. Every crown job is held to that standard, from the first phone call to the last sweep of the roof.

Crown repair answers for Tangelo Park homes
Does a new crown come with a new cap?
Not automatically. If your cap is rusted or loose, we list a cap replacement as its own line so you can decide. When both are done together, the cap is fitted after the crown has cured enough to take fasteners.
Is crown repair covered by a warranty?
Crown work falls under our workmanship warranty, with our 100% satisfaction guarantee alongside it. The warranty terms for your job are written on the estimate, so you know what is covered before you approve the work.
