Copper caps that suit the house

Want the chimney top to look like it belongs on a nicer house? Copper caps age to a warm brown, then a soft green, and they last for years without paint. Copper also pairs well with brick and stays attractive for years.

Our specialists fasten copper caps with copper or stainless hardware, because copper in contact with galvanized steel sets up corrosion between the two metals. They also check where water off the cap will run, because copper-laden runoff can stain light brick and roofing below. You'll see the copper option priced next to stainless.

Local Conditions

Rust streaks from an old cap

Even away from salt, an old galvanized cap on a home in Andrews eventually loses its zinc and starts to rust. The streaks it leaves on the brick keep growing with each rain.

Replacing it with stainless stops the source. Our pros can then look at cleaning the brick, with a method chosen to suit the masonry. The brick and the cap are priced separately, so you can do one or both.

A screen you can get to for cleaning

Screens collect soot, and a clogged screen chokes the fire. The Florida Building Code wants a spark arrestor to be accessible for cleaning, with the screen or cap removable so the flue itself can be cleaned too.

Caps from our pros come off with ordinary tools and go back on the same way, so a sweep doesn't mean prying off a glued lid. They also avoid fastening methods that make the cap a permanent part of the chimney. When you book a sweep later, the cap comes off, the flue gets brushed and the screen gets cleaned in one visit. That saves you a second trip on the roof.

Fastening a cap so it stays put

Glued-on caps, or ones held by a single loose screw, end up in the yard. Single-flue caps should clamp or bolt to the flue tile. Outside-mount caps fasten into the crown or the brick with anchors sized for masonry.

Our pros tighten fasteners evenly so the cap sits square and doesn't stress the tile, then check it by hand for any give. They use stainless hardware so the fasteners don't rust before the cap does. If the tile or crown is too damaged to hold a fastener, they'll say so before fitting anything, since a cap holds only as well as the masonry under it.

Lid shapes that shed leaves

Flat lids hold leaves, needles and twigs, and a pile on the lid holds moisture against the metal. Under trees, that pile can also slide down against the screen and block it.

Hip-shaped and pitched lids shed debris better, so the screen stays clear and the lid dries out between showers. Our pros ask about the trees around your roof when they recommend a lid shape. It's a small detail that makes a real difference in how soon the cap needs attention, and it doesn't change the fit on the flue. It also looks tidier from the street, since leaves don't pile up on top.

FAQs

Cap fitting in Andrews? Start here

Will a cap stop my fireplace from smoking?

It can when wind is pushing down the flue or rain is soaking it. It won't fix a flue too small for the fireplace or a house pulling air in through the chimney. Our specialists find the cause first, then tell you if a cap is the answer.

Do factory-built fireplaces need a special cap?

Yes. They take the cap listed for their chimney system, found from the rating plate. A cap from another brand can change how the unit drafts, so our pros fit the listed part.
