Water won’t destroy your chimney walls anymore. Animals can’t build nests that block your flue and create fire hazards. Rain, snow, and debris stay out where they belong.
You get a properly functioning chimney that draws smoke correctly and keeps your family safe. No more surprise repair bills from water damage that can cost thousands. No more worrying about carbon monoxide backing up into your home because squirrels decided to move in.
Your investment in a quality chimney cap installation pays for itself by preventing the expensive problems that an unprotected chimney creates over time.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for years as a family-owned business that understands what Long Island homeowners face. Our harsh winters and heavy rainfall create unique challenges that require local expertise.
We’ve seen firsthand how quickly an unprotected chimney turns into a major expense. That’s why we focus on getting your chimney cap installation done right the first time with quality materials and proper installation techniques.
You’re working with neighbors who live in the same communities and deal with the same weather challenges you do. When you call us, you get personal attention from people who actually care about protecting your home.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney to determine the right cap size and style for your specific setup. Every chimney is different. The wrong fit creates problems down the road.
Next, we measure your flue openings and recommend the best material for your situation. Stainless steel chimney cap installation works great for most homes, but copper might be better if you want something that matches your home’s style or need custom fabrication.
Installation happens quickly and cleanly. We protect your roof and property while we work, install your new cap securely, and clean up completely when we’re done. You get a properly protected chimney without the mess or hassle that comes with inexperienced contractors.

We install single-flue chimney caps for standard chimneys and multi-flue chimney cap installations for homes with multiple fireplace systems. Stainless steel chimney caps resist rust and corrosion from Long Island’s coastal air while providing excellent durability for the money.
Copper chimney cap installation offers a premium look that develops a natural patina over time. Perfect if you want something that enhances your home’s appearance while providing superior protection against Melville’s weather conditions.
Every cap includes mesh screening to keep animals out and spark arrestors to prevent embers from escaping. We also handle custom chimney cap fabrication when your chimney has unusual dimensions or you need something specific to match your home’s architecture.
Chimney cap installation in Melville typically ranges from $250 to $750 depending on the material, size, and complexity of your chimney. A basic stainless steel single-flue cap usually costs between $250-$400 installed.
Multi-flue chimney cap installations or custom copper fabrications cost more, typically $500-$750 or higher for complex installations. The investment pays for itself quickly by preventing water damage that can cost thousands to repair.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work on your chimney cap replacement or installation.
Stainless steel chimney caps are the most popular choice because they’re durable, affordable, and resist corrosion from Long Island’s coastal environment. They typically last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance and work well for most Suffolk County homes.
Copper chimney caps cost more upfront but offer superior longevity and develop an attractive green patina over time. They’re ideal if you want a premium look or need something that matches existing copper elements on your roof.
Both materials include mesh screening and spark arrestors. The choice usually comes down to your budget and aesthetic preferences rather than performance differences.
Most chimney cap installations take 1-2 hours from start to finish. Simple single-flue installations on accessible roofs usually take about an hour once we’re set up.
Multi-flue chimney cap installations or jobs requiring custom fabrication may take longer, especially if we need to make modifications for proper fit. Weather conditions and roof accessibility can also affect timing.
We schedule installations when weather permits and always prioritize safety over speed. You’ll know the expected timeframe when we provide your estimate for chimney cap installation and replacement.
Yes, absolutely. Long Island’s heavy rainfall and winter freeze-thaw cycles make chimney caps essential for preventing water damage. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, water entering your chimney can cause thousands in structural damage over time.
Animals are another major concern in Suffolk County. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons commonly nest in uncapped chimneys, creating blockages that prevent proper ventilation and increase fire risks.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends chimney caps as basic safety equipment. For the relatively small investment, you get protection that prevents much larger problems down the road.
We install chimney caps on most residential chimney types including masonry chimneys, prefab metal chimneys, and multi-flue systems. Each type requires different mounting methods and cap styles for proper fit and function.
Older chimneys sometimes need minor repairs before cap installation to ensure secure mounting. We inspect every chimney first and let you know if any prep work is needed for your chimney cap replacement.
Custom chimney cap fabrication handles unusual sizes or configurations that don’t fit standard caps. If your chimney can safely support a cap, we can usually find a solution that works for your specific situation.
We safely remove any animals and nesting materials before installing your new chimney cap. This usually involves waiting for babies to mature enough to leave on their own, then sealing the chimney once it’s empty.
Removal and cleanup add to the project cost, but it’s essential for safety. Nesting materials are highly flammable and can block proper ventilation, creating dangerous conditions in your home.
Once we’ve cleared everything out and installed your cap with proper mesh screening, animals won’t be able to get back in. The investment in professional removal and cap installation prevents ongoing problems and protects your family.
