You’re not dealing with water stains on your ceiling anymore. No more birds building nests in your flue or worrying about sparks landing on your roof. Your chimney system works the way it should – safely and efficiently.
A properly installed chimney cap means you can use your fireplace without second-guessing whether it’s safe. Water stays outside where it belongs, and your home stays protected from the expensive damage that comes with Long Island’s harsh winters.
That peace of mind matters, especially when you need your heating system running safely through another Oakdale winter.
We specialize in exterior home improvements for Suffolk County residents. We’ve been handling chimney cap installations, roof repairs, and siding work for homeowners who need the job done right the first time.
We understand what Long Island weather does to unprotected chimneys. The freeze-thaw cycles, the coastal moisture, the winter storms – we’ve seen it all. That’s why we focus on quality materials and proper installation techniques that actually hold up in this climate.
Our team handles residential chimney work throughout Oakdale and surrounding areas, and we’re licensed and insured for your protection.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney to determine the right cap type and size. Single-flue, multi-flue, custom fabrication – we measure everything to ensure a perfect fit.
Next, we remove any damaged existing cap and clean the chimney crown. Our team installs your new stainless steel or copper chimney cap with proper sealing and secure mounting that won’t blow off in the next storm.
We test the installation to make sure your fireplace draws properly and clean up completely. You get a detailed breakdown of what we did and what materials we used, plus photos of the completed work for your records.

We install stainless steel and copper chimney caps designed specifically for Long Island weather conditions. Our caps include spark arrestor mesh to prevent fire hazards and sturdy construction that handles high winds and heavy snow loads.
For multi-flue chimneys, we fabricate custom full-coverage caps that protect your entire chimney crown, not just the flue openings. This prevents the cracking and water intrusion that leads to expensive masonry repairs down the road.
Every installation includes proper flashing and sealing to prevent leaks. We use quality materials that won’t rust or deteriorate, and our work comes with clear documentation of materials and labor for your records.
Chimney cap replacement typically costs between $300-800 for standard single-flue installations, while custom multi-flue caps range from $800-1,500 depending on size and materials. Stainless steel caps cost less than copper but both provide excellent protection.
The price includes removal of the old cap, proper installation of the new one, and cleanup. Custom fabrication adds to the cost but ensures a perfect fit that won’t leak or blow off in storms.
We provide detailed estimates that break down materials and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency installations may cost more, but preventing water damage is worth the investment.
Stainless steel chimney caps cost less and provide excellent durability for most Long Island homes. They resist rust and corrosion while handling high winds and snow loads effectively. Most homeowners choose stainless steel for the combination of performance and value.
Copper caps cost more upfront but develop a protective patina over time that many homeowners prefer aesthetically. Copper also handles coastal moisture well, which matters in Suffolk County’s climate.
Both materials last decades when properly installed. Your choice usually comes down to budget and appearance preferences, since both provide the same protection against water damage, animals, and fire hazards.
Many Oakdale chimneys need custom caps because standard sizes don’t fit properly. Multi-flue chimneys almost always require custom fabrication to cover all openings effectively. Even single-flue chimneys often have unique dimensions that standard caps can’t accommodate.
A poorly fitting cap creates gaps where water can enter, defeating the whole purpose of the installation. Custom caps cost more but provide complete protection and won’t blow off in storms.
We measure your chimney carefully during our inspection to determine whether standard or custom fabrication is needed. Our goal is proper protection, not selling you something you don’t need.
Standard chimney cap installation usually takes 2-4 hours depending on roof access and chimney condition. Custom cap installations may take longer if we need to fabricate the cap on-site or make adjustments for proper fit.
Weather affects timing since we can’t work safely on wet or icy roofs. We schedule installations when conditions are right for safe, quality work. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling when possible.
Most installations are completed in a single visit. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we inspect your chimney and explain any factors that might affect the schedule.
A properly installed chimney cap improves fireplace performance by preventing downdrafts and maintaining consistent airflow. The spark arrestor mesh doesn’t restrict airflow enough to affect combustion or smoke removal.
Poorly installed caps can create problems, which is why professional installation matters. We ensure proper sizing and positioning so your fireplace draws correctly and burns efficiently.
If you’re experiencing draft problems after cap installation, the issue is usually improper sizing or installation technique. Our team knows how to install caps that protect your chimney without affecting fireplace performance.
Storm damage to chimney caps is common in Suffolk County, especially during winter storms with high winds. Damaged caps should be replaced quickly to prevent water from entering your chimney system and causing expensive interior damage.
We provide emergency chimney cap replacement when storms damage existing installations. Our caps are designed to handle Long Island weather, but severe storms can damage any exterior component.
If storm damage occurs, cover the chimney opening temporarily with a tarp or board to prevent immediate water intrusion, then call us for emergency replacement. Quick action prevents minor storm damage from becoming major repair bills.
