Choosing the cap's metal
Galvanized, stainless or copper? Galvanized steel costs the least and depends on its zinc coating, which slowly gives out in the weather. Stainless steel lasts much longer and doesn't need painting. Copper darkens to brown, then turns a soft green, and suits some homes beautifully.
You'll see how each would look on your roof and hear how it holds up, and the one you pick is fastened with hardware that won't react with it. Copper, for example, gets copper or stainless fasteners. The choice is yours, with each option given its own price. Ask about cap metals for your chimney in Cross Creek: (352) 675-6366.
Cross Creek lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park is located inside Cross Creek.

Local Conditions
Appliance flues inland
If the chimney on your home in Cross Creek also vents a furnace or water heater, that appliance flue needs a cap made for gas exhaust, and one that doesn't restrict it. Our specialists fit the right cap to each flue and check the lining of the appliance flue while they're up there. Each flue's cap is priced separately on the quote.

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.
Rust stains on brick below a cap
Orange stains running down the chimney from the top trace back to a rusting cap in many cases. As the galvanized coating fails, rust washes off the lid and screen with every rain and soaks into the brick below.
Swapping in a stainless or copper cap stops the source, and then the staining can be dealt with. Once the source is gone, the stain stops growing, and cleaning can lighten what's there. Cleaning methods are chosen to suit the brick, since harsh acids can damage it. The cap and any cleaning are priced as separate items. The new cap stops fresh stains the day it goes on.
Quieting a rattling cap
Rattling in the wind means a cap is working itself loose. Each gust knocks it against the tile, wears the fastener holes wider and can chip the tile's edge.
First job is finding what's loose. A sound cap on a sound tile gets new stainless fasteners and is tightened evenly. A cap with bent legs or rusted clamps gets replaced. A tile with a chipped or cracked top may need repair before any cap can grip it properly. You'll hear which applies, with the price, and the rattling stops once it's fixed. A quiet cap is a secure cap, and that's what keeps it on through the next storm.

FAQs
Before you order a chimney cap
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.
Why did my old cap blow off?
In most cases it was glued on, held by too few screws, or rusted at its clamps. Our pros clamp or bolt the new one in place with stainless hardware. Reserve a secure replacement in Cross Creek at (352) 675-6366.
