Caps, Chase Covers, & Shrouds

We fabricate and install custom chimney caps, chase covers (chase covers), and decorative shrouds to protect your chimney from weather damage, animal intrusion, and fire hazards. Our custom metal shop allows us to create perfect-fitting solutions for any chimney configuration.

Custom Chimney Caps

A high-quality chimney cap is your chimney's first line of defense against the elements. Our custom-fabricated caps provide superior protection compared to one-size-fits-all store-bought options.

Why Every Chimney Needs a Cap

Without a properly fitted chimney cap, your home is vulnerable to:

Water Damage: Rain and snow enter directly into your chimney, causing moisture damage to the flue liner, damper, and interior masonry
Animal Intrusion: Birds, squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife can nest in your chimney, creating blockages and fire hazards
Downdrafts: Wind blowing across an uncapped chimney can create drafts that push smoke back into your home
Fire Hazards: Burning embers and sparks can escape through an uncapped chimney, potentially igniting your roof or nearby vegetation
Debris Buildup: Leaves, twigs, and other debris can accumulate in an unprotected chimney, creating blockages

Types of Chimney Caps We Offer

Single-Flue Caps: Designed for chimneys with a single flue
Multi-Flue Caps: Cover multiple flue tiles while also protecting the crown
Top-Mounted Damper Caps: Combine the functions of a damper and a cap
Custom Copper Caps: Beautiful, long-lasting protection that develops a distinctive patina over time
Stainless Steel Caps: Durable, corrosion-resistant protection

All our caps include spark arrestor screens that prevent sparks from escaping while keeping animals out.

Chase Covers

Chase covers, are metal coverings designed specifically for factory-built (prefabricated) chimneys. These critical components:

Seal the top of the chase to prevent water infiltration
Protect the chimney structure from moisture damage
Prevent costly repairs to your chimney system
