The smallest, simplest piece of protection on the chimney — and the one most often missing.
A chimney cap is the small metal cover over the flue opening, and it’s the most cost-effective protection on the whole chimney — yet it’s the part most often missing or rusted out on Braintree homes. Without it, rain pours straight down the flue, animals nest inside, and downdrafts push smoke and odor back into the house.
If you’re looking up at a flue with no cap, or a rusted, dented one, it’s an easy and high-value fix. We measure your flue and install a correctly sized stainless or copper cap with a built-in animal guard and spark arrestor.
An uncapped flue lets water rust the damper and liner and soak the masonry, lets animals nest, and lets embers escape from a wood fire. A quality cap solves all of these at once and is one of the most cost-effective repairs on a chimney.
