No more water stains on your ceiling. No more animals making themselves at home in your chimney. No more worrying about sparks landing on your roof during those cozy winter fires.
When your chimney cap is properly installed, rain stays where it belongs – outside. You avoid those expensive interior repairs that come from water seeping through damaged or missing caps. Your family stays safe from fire hazards, and your heating system works the way it should.
You get peace of mind knowing your investment is protected by materials designed to handle Long Island’s coastal weather. That’s what happens when the job is done right the first time.
We bring decades of exterior renovation experience to Port Jefferson and throughout Suffolk County. We’re not just another contractor – we’re a family business that understands what Long Island’s coastal climate does to your home.
We’ve seen how salt air accelerates deterioration. We know which materials actually last in this environment. And we understand that you need contractors who show up when they say they will, do quality work, and stand behind what they install.
Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques because your home deserves both durability and proper installation. Every project gets personal oversight, and every customer gets transparent communication from start to finish.
First, we inspect your chimney system to determine the right cap size and style for your specific setup. Single-flue, multi-flue, or custom fabrication – we measure everything to ensure a proper fit that actually works.
Next, we remove any old or damaged caps and assess the chimney crown condition. If there are issues that could compromise the new installation, we address those before moving forward.
Then we install your new chimney cap using quality stainless steel or copper materials, depending on your preference and budget. We secure everything properly and test the fit to make sure it’s going to stay put through Long Island’s weather extremes.
You get a final walkthrough where we explain what we installed and what to expect. No surprises, no hidden issues left for later – just a properly protected chimney that’s ready for years of reliable service.

Stainless steel caps run $475-$780 and offer excellent durability with lifetime warranties. They resist corrosion from salt air and handle temperature changes without cracking or warping. Most Port Jefferson homeowners choose stainless steel because it provides the best value for our climate.
Copper caps cost $575-$845 but offer superior longevity and develop an attractive patina over time. If you want the ultimate in durability and don’t mind the higher upfront cost, copper is worth considering for long-term protection.
We also handle custom fabrication when standard sizes won’t work. Multi-flue chimneys, unusual shapes, or architectural requirements – we can create caps that fit properly and look right on your home.
Every installation includes spark arrestor mesh to prevent fire hazards and animal guards to keep wildlife out. These aren’t optional extras – they’re essential components that make your chimney cap actually work as intended.
Chimney cap installation typically ranges from $475-$845 depending on materials and complexity. Stainless steel caps with professional installation run $475-$780, while copper caps range $575-$845.
The final cost depends on your chimney size, number of flues, and any custom fabrication needed. Multi-flue chimneys cost more than single-flue installations because they require larger, more complex caps.
We provide detailed estimates before starting work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees – just transparent pricing for quality installation that protects your Port Jefferson home.
Stainless steel chimney caps perform best in Long Island’s coastal environment. They resist corrosion from salt air, handle temperature changes without cracking, and typically come with lifetime warranties against manufacturer defects.
Copper caps offer superior longevity but cost more upfront. Both materials significantly outperform galvanized steel, which tends to rust quickly in our climate and needs replacement every 5 years.
The key is proper installation with quality materials designed for coastal conditions. Cheap caps might save money initially, but they’ll fail faster and cost more in the long run when you factor in replacement and potential water damage.
Look for rust, cracks, or loose mesh screening on your existing cap. If you see water stains on walls near your chimney, smell musty odors, or notice animals getting into your chimney, your cap probably isn’t doing its job.
Missing or damaged caps let water pour directly into your chimney system, causing expensive interior damage over time. You might also notice poor fireplace draft or sparks escaping during fires.
Port Jefferson’s coastal environment accelerates cap deterioration, so even caps that look okay might not be sealing properly. Annual inspections help catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
Yes, we handle both single-flue and multi-flue chimney cap installations. Multi-flue caps require larger, more complex designs but provide better protection than capping each flue individually.
A full-coverage cap protects the entire chimney crown while allowing proper ventilation for each flue. This prevents water from getting between flues and reduces the number of potential leak points.
We measure your specific chimney configuration and recommend the best approach. Sometimes custom fabrication is needed to ensure proper fit and function, but the result is comprehensive protection for your entire chimney system.
Most chimney cap installations take 2-4 hours depending on chimney height, accessibility, and complexity. Simple single-flue replacements on easily accessible chimneys can be completed in 2 hours.
Multi-flue caps or custom fabrication may take longer, especially if we need to address chimney crown issues before installation. We schedule enough time to do the job properly without rushing.
Weather conditions can affect timing since we won’t install caps in high winds or during storms. We’ll reschedule if conditions aren’t safe rather than compromise the quality of your installation.
Properly installed chimney caps are your first line of defense against water damage. Without a cap, rain pours directly into your chimney system, soaking into porous bricks and deteriorating mortar joints.
Water damage from uncapped chimneys can cause interior wall stains, ceiling damage, and even structural issues over time. Port Jefferson’s coastal environment makes this worse because salt air accelerates deterioration of wet masonry.
A quality cap with proper installation keeps water out while allowing smoke and gases to vent normally. It’s a small investment that prevents much larger repair bills down the road.
