You won’t worry about water streaming down your chimney during Suffolk County’s heavy rains and coastal storms. A properly installed chimney cap creates an impenetrable barrier that directs water away from your flue and masonry, preventing the freeze-thaw damage that destroys so many Long Island chimneys.
Your heating system works more efficiently when your chimney drafts properly. No more downdrafts pushing smoke back into your living room or animals building nests that block airflow.
You’ll sleep better knowing sparks can’t escape your chimney to ignite your roof, and that carbon monoxide has a clear path out of your home. That’s what real protection looks like.
We’ve been protecting Bellport homes since before most contractors knew what a multi-flue cap was. We’re not just another roofing company that dabbles in chimney work – we’re a family business that specializes in exterior home protection throughout Suffolk County.
We understand how salt air corrodes metal caps and why standard hardware store solutions fail within years on Long Island. That’s why we custom-fabricate stainless steel and copper caps that actually last in our coastal environment.
Every installation comes with our personal oversight and transparent communication from start to finish. No surprises, no upcharges, no disappearing after the job is done.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney structure, measuring flue dimensions and assessing the condition of your crown and surrounding masonry. This isn’t a quick glance from the ground – we get up there and examine what’s actually happening at the top of your chimney.
Next comes custom fabrication. Whether you need a single-flue cap, multi-flue coverage, or a full-width cap that protects your entire chimney crown, we build it to your exact specifications using marine-grade stainless steel or copper that can handle Suffolk County’s weather.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We secure the cap properly, test the fit and function, then clean up completely. You’ll have photos of the completed work and a warranty that gives you real peace of mind.

Your new chimney cap includes a fitted top that sheds water completely, mesh screening that keeps out birds and debris while allowing proper ventilation, and a spark arrestor that meets local fire codes. We use 316-grade stainless steel that resists salt air corrosion, or copper that develops a protective patina over time.
Multi-flue chimneys get custom-designed caps that cover each opening while maintaining proper draft for your heating systems. We fabricate everything locally, so repairs and replacements happen quickly when needed years down the road.
Every cap installation includes inspection of your chimney crown, flashing, and masonry condition. If we spot problems that could cause leaks or structural issues, we’ll explain exactly what needs attention and why. No high-pressure sales tactics – just honest assessment of what your Bellport home actually needs.
Chimney cap installation in Bellport typically ranges from $300 to $800 depending on your chimney configuration and material choice. Single-flue stainless steel caps start around $300 installed, while custom multi-flue or full-coverage caps range from $500 to $800.
Copper caps cost more upfront but often last longer in our salt air environment. The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider that water damage repairs can easily cost thousands of dollars.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start the job.
Stainless steel caps offer excellent corrosion resistance at a lower cost and work well for most Bellport homes. We use 316-grade steel that handles salt air better than standard grades used by many contractors.
Copper caps cost more initially but develop a protective green patina that actually improves weather resistance over time. They’re ideal for historic homes or when you want a premium appearance that complements copper gutters or roofing.
Both materials will outlast galvanized steel caps that rust out within 5-7 years in Suffolk County’s coastal environment. The key is proper installation with adequate clearance and secure mounting that won’t work loose during storms.
Yes, we specialize in custom multi-flue chimney cap fabrication and installation. Many Bellport homes have chimneys serving multiple heating systems, fireplaces, or water heaters that each need proper coverage and ventilation.
We design caps that cover all flues while maintaining proper draft for each system. This prevents downdrafts, keeps rain out of every opening, and ensures your heating equipment operates safely and efficiently.
The alternative – individual caps on each flue – often creates maintenance problems and doesn’t protect the chimney crown from water damage. A properly designed multi-flue cap solves both issues with a single, comprehensive installation.
Most chimney cap installations in Bellport take 2-4 hours depending on chimney height, access, and whether custom fabrication is needed. Simple single-flue replacements often finish in under two hours.
Custom multi-flue or full-coverage caps require measurement, fabrication, and careful installation that typically takes a half day. We schedule installation after fabrication is complete, so there’s no waiting around while we build your cap.
Weather delays can extend the timeline since we won’t install caps in high winds or during storms. Safety comes first, and proper installation requires stable conditions to ensure your cap stays secure for years.
Quality chimney caps need minimal maintenance when properly installed. We recommend annual visual inspection to check for loose mounting hardware, damaged mesh screening, or debris buildup that could affect ventilation.
Stainless steel caps may need occasional cleaning to remove salt deposits, while copper caps develop natural patina that actually protects the metal. The mesh screening sometimes needs clearing if birds or squirrels drop nesting materials on top.
Most maintenance issues we see result from improper installation or using inferior materials that can’t handle Long Island weather. That’s why we use marine-grade materials and secure mounting systems that stay put during coastal storms.
Storm damage, falling branches, or normal wear can occasionally damage even quality chimney caps. When this happens, quick replacement prevents water from entering your chimney and causing expensive interior damage.
We keep common cap sizes in stock for emergency repairs, and our local fabrication means custom replacements happen quickly. Most storm-damaged caps can be replaced within days of your call, not weeks.
Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, while homeowner’s insurance typically covers storm damage. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and can help document damage for your claim if needed.
