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 LaCrosse: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Open lots and wind-driven rain

A home in LaCrosse with little around it to break the wind gets rain driven sideways across the chimney top. A lid with a small overhang lets that rain blow straight into the flue. Our pros pick a cap with a generous overhang and enough height for smoke, so the flue stays dry without hurting the draft. Where the chimney stands tall above the roof, that overhang matters even more.

Caps on flues that vent gas appliances

A flue serving a gas furnace or water heater carries exhaust that has to leave freely. The Brick Industry Association advises checking the maker's data on each cap's effect on gas exhaust, because a poorly chosen cap can restrict it.

Appliance flues get caps made for them, sized so the exhaust isn't slowed, and fine spark mesh stays off where it isn't needed. Our pros also check the flue lining, since an appliance flue has its own requirements. You'll get a separate price for each flue's cap, with the reasons behind the type chosen. Fireplace flues and appliance flues get different cap designs.

Listed caps for factory-built chimneys

Factory-built fireplaces and their metal chimneys are tested and listed as one system, and the cap is part of that system. Under the Florida Building Code, a decorative shroud may go on a factory-built chimney only if it's listed and labeled for that exact chimney.

Only the termination cap the maker lists for your model goes on, and the rating plate says which model you have. A cap from another brand might look similar but can change the draft and void the listing. If the listed part is discontinued, you'll hear what the maker offers instead and what it costs, before anything is ordered.

Fastening a new cap to the flue

Fitting a cap takes more care than it looks. Our pros protect the roof where they'll be standing, remove the old cap and its fasteners, and clean the flue top so the new cap seats flat.

They set the cap square, fasten it evenly, and check that it doesn't rock. On an outside-mount cap, they seal around the anchors so water can't follow them into the crown. Before leaving, they look at the cap from the ground with you and explain how to get it off for cleaning. The old cap leaves with them. If the size isn't on hand, the fitting is scheduled for the day it arrives.

FAQs

Cap fitting in LaCrosse? Start here

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.

What does the building code say about spark screens?

Florida's building code sets the mesh size, the screen's heat and corrosion resistance, and how much open area the cap needs. Our specialists fit screens that meet all of it and can tell you if yours doesn't. Talk to us about a code-sized screen for your home in LaCrosse at (352) 675-6366.
