You wake up after a storm and there’s no water stain spreading across your ceiling. No dripping sounds from the fireplace. No scratching noises from animals that found their way in.
That’s what happens when your chimney cap is installed right. Water stays out. Animals stay out. Your home stays protected, and you sleep better knowing one less thing can go wrong.
The difference between a properly capped chimney and one that’s left open is thousands of dollars in potential repairs and the peace of mind that comes with real protection.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for decades at SkyLuxe Construction. We’re the family business that understands what Long Island weather does to chimneys.
We know Sound Beach. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners skip the chimney cap or try to make do with a rusted, damaged one. We’ve also seen how the right cap, properly installed, prevents those problems entirely.
We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the work right the first time. When we install your chimney cap, it’s going to protect your home for years to come.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney to determine the right cap size and style. Every chimney is different, and we measure carefully to ensure a perfect fit.
Next, we clean the chimney top and check for any damage that needs addressing before installation. If we find issues, we’ll explain exactly what needs to be fixed and why.
Then we install your new cap using proper techniques and quality materials. We test the fit, check all connections, and make sure everything is secure. Before we leave, we clean up completely and show you exactly what we’ve done.
You get a cap that’s built to last and installed by people who know what they’re doing.

We install stainless steel chimney caps because they’re the best choice for Sound Beach’s coastal conditions. The salt air here is tough on metal, but stainless steel handles it without rusting or corroding.
For multi-flue chimneys, we fabricate custom caps that cover everything properly. Single-flue setups get precision-fit caps that seal tight and stay secure. We also install copper caps for homeowners who want that distinctive look and superior durability.
Every cap comes with mesh screening to keep animals out and spark arrestor features for fire safety. Sound Beach homeowners deal with enough weather challenges – your chimney cap shouldn’t be one of them.
We stock caps in various sizes and can custom fabricate when needed. The goal is always the same: complete protection that lasts.
Chimney cap installation in Sound Beach typically ranges from $300 to $800, depending on your chimney size, the material you choose, and whether custom fabrication is needed. Standard single-flue stainless steel caps are on the lower end of that range.
Multi-flue chimneys cost more because they require larger, custom-fitted caps. Copper caps are more expensive than stainless steel but offer superior longevity and appearance.
We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees. The price includes removal of your old cap if needed, proper installation, cleanup, and a thorough inspection to make sure everything fits perfectly.
Without a chimney cap, you’re inviting expensive problems. Water enters directly into your flue during rain and snow, causing masonry damage, damper corrosion, and interior water damage that can cost thousands to repair.
Animals will nest in your chimney, bringing flammable debris that creates fire hazards and blocks proper ventilation. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons commonly enter uncapped chimneys, and removing them can be complicated and costly.
You’ll also have issues with downdrafts, debris accumulation, and potential spark emission that could start roof fires. A chimney cap prevents all of these problems for a fraction of what repairs would cost.
Quality stainless steel chimney caps typically last 15-25 years in Long Island’s coastal environment. The salt air here is corrosive, which is why we recommend stainless steel over galvanized steel options that might rust within 5-10 years.
Copper caps can last even longer – often 30+ years – but cost more upfront. The key is proper installation and using materials designed for marine environments like ours.
Regular inspection during annual chimney maintenance helps identify any issues early. Most cap problems we see are from inferior materials or poor installation, not normal wear from our climate.
Yes, we specialize in multi-flue chimney cap installation. These require custom fabrication to properly cover all flue openings while maintaining proper ventilation for each one.
Multi-flue caps are more complex because each flue serves a different purpose – one might be for your fireplace, another for your heating system. We measure carefully and fabricate caps that accommodate all openings without interfering with proper draft.
The installation process takes longer than single-flue caps, and the materials cost more, but the protection is complete. Many Sound Beach homes have multi-flue chimneys, and we’ve installed hundreds of these custom caps over the years.
Stainless steel caps offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability at a moderate price point. They’re our most popular choice because they handle Long Island’s salt air well and typically last 15-25 years with minimal maintenance.
Copper caps cost more initially but can last 30+ years and develop an attractive patina over time. They’re completely rust-proof and offer superior weather resistance, making them a good long-term investment.
Both materials work well in our climate. Your choice usually comes down to budget and appearance preferences. We’ll help you understand the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation and long-term plans.
Yes, we warranty our chimney cap installations against defects in workmanship. The specific warranty period depends on the cap material and manufacturer specifications, but you’ll have written coverage for peace of mind.
Stainless steel caps typically come with manufacturer warranties against corrosion and defects. Our installation warranty covers proper fit, secure mounting, and leak-free performance.
We also provide guidance on maintenance to help your cap last as long as possible. Most issues we see are preventable with simple annual inspections during regular chimney maintenance. We’ll explain what to watch for and when to call us.
