What a cap fitting looks like

Here's how cap day goes. Our pros set up ladders and roof protection, remove the old cap if there is one, and clean the flue top and crown where the new cap will sit.

The new cap is set square over the flue, fastened with clamps or bolts sized for it, and checked for wobble. You'll see the finished cap from the ground, hear how it's fastened, and get the old one hauled away. Most fittings are done in one trip when the size is on hand.

Local Conditions

Copper caps over metal roofs

If your home in Archer has a metal roof, the cap metal matters for more than looks. Runoff from copper can corrode zinc-coated and aluminum roofing below it. Our pros choose a cap metal that won't harm the roof and fasten it with hardware that suits both, and they'll explain the reason for their choice. Stainless tends to be the safe pick over metal roofing.

Room for the smoke to get out

Smoke has to leave the cap as easily as the flue delivers it. The Florida Building Code requires a spark arrestor's net free area to be at least four times the net free area of the flue outlet it serves.

Too little open area, or a screen half-clogged with soot, backs smoke up into the room. Our specialists check that number when they choose a cap, especially for large flues and multi-flue caps, where it's easy to undersize. If a cap on your chimney now falls short, they'll show you why the fire has been sluggish and what fixes it.

Single-flue caps against crown-covering caps

A single-flue cap clamps onto one flue tile. It's compact and inexpensive, and it's the right choice for a chimney with one flue standing well above the crown.

An outside-mount cap is a bigger unit with a screened skirt, spanning every flue and anchored at the chimney's edge. It covers several flues at once and shelters the crown from rain. Our specialists weigh how many flues you have, their heights and the condition of the crown, then recommend one or the other with the reasons. Both are priced so you can compare. Either one is fastened with stainless hardware. Neither needs glue.

Copper caps and mixing metals

Copper looks great, but it doesn't get along with some other metals. Where copper touches galvanized steel or zinc, the two corrode each other, and roofing makers warn against mixing them.

Our pros fasten copper caps with copper or stainless hardware, keep copper from resting on galvanized flashing, and check where the cap's runoff lands. Water running off copper can stain light-colored masonry and roofing, so placement matters. The copper option comes with those details spelled out on the quote, so there are no surprises a year later. Copper caps are heavier than they look, so the anchors are sized for the weight as well as the wind.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

Which metal should I choose?

Galvanized costs least but rusts once its coating wears. Stainless lasts much longer, and copper lasts too and ages to a patina. Our pros price all three and explain how each will look and wear on your roof.

Can one cap cover all my flues?

In many chimneys, yes. One outside-mount cap can span the crown and cover every flue, which also shelters the concrete. Our specialists check flue heights first to be sure it suits yours.
