Chimney Caps
Measured & Fitted Right

Cap pricing depends on flue count, size and material — see current numbers at roofgutternow.com/services, then we confirm with an exact measured quote at no charge.

They stop the direct-entry water that rots dampers and smoke shelves — and by keeping the flue interior dry they dramatically slow freeze-thaw damage to the masonry itself.

Once it’s vacated, yes — and the mesh keeps the next raccoon out. We won’t seal an animal inside; timing matters and we’ll walk you through it.

Yes — water and animals don’t care what the flue vents. Unused flues arguably need caps most, since nobody’s looking at them.

That’s half their job — mesh sides deny birds, squirrels and raccoons the state’s most popular nesting flue, while the hood sheds rain.

Measured off your flue dimensions and count — single-flue, multi-flue, and custom mounts all exist, which is why we measure rather than guess.

Correctly sized caps don’t — and wind-directional models actually improve troublesome drafts. Downdraft complaints usually predate the cap.

Widely recommended, sometimes required, always cheap insurance — a missing cap is an open pipe collecting weather into your house’s core.

The symptom usually tells you. We inspect before quoting and will say plainly when a smaller fix solves it — sending you a cheaper scope costs us the bigger job, and we'd rather be right than oversell.

If water is getting in, or the damage is spreading to something more expensive, now. If it's cosmetic and stable, it can be planned. We'll tell you which it is in writing after the inspection.
