Water is the number one enemy of your chimney system. Without proper protection, rain and snow pour directly down your flue, causing thousands in damage to your liner, damper, and masonry work.
A quality chimney cap changes everything. Your mortar joints stay dry. Your flue liner lasts decades longer. Animals can’t build nests that block airflow and create fire hazards.
You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your chimney is properly protected—and your Village of the Branch home stays safe and dry, year after year.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor—we’re a family legacy brought to life right here in Suffolk County. For decades, we’ve specialized in exterior solutions that protect homes like yours in Village of the Branch.
We understand what Long Island weather does to chimneys. We know the building styles in your neighborhood. And we know that homeowners in your community expect work that matches the quality of their properties.
Every chimney cap installation gets personal oversight from our family. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern materials, ensuring your investment protects your home for years to come.
We start with a thorough inspection of your chimney crown, flue, and existing cap condition. This tells us exactly what type of protection your specific chimney needs—single-flue, multi-flue, or custom fabrication.
Next, we measure for a precise fit and recommend the right material. Stainless steel for durability, copper for aesthetics, or specialized caps with spark arrestors for wood-burning systems.
Installation happens fast but never rushed. We secure everything properly, test the fit, and clean up completely. You get a chimney cap that’s built to handle whatever Long Island weather throws at it.

Every Village of the Branch home is different, and your chimney cap should reflect that. We offer stainless steel caps that resist corrosion, copper caps that develop beautiful patina over time, and multi-flue designs for complex chimney systems.
Your new cap includes mesh screening to keep animals out, proper drainage to channel water away from your flue, and secure mounting that won’t come loose during storms. We also handle spark arrestor installation for wood-burning fireplaces.
Living in a community where median home values exceed $650,000 means you need contractors who understand quality. Our caps are built to protect your investment and complement your home’s architecture.
Chimney cap installation typically ranges from several hundred to over a thousand dollars, depending on your chimney’s size, condition, and the type of cap you choose. Single-flue stainless steel caps cost less than custom multi-flue copper designs.
The investment makes sense when you consider that water damage from an unprotected chimney can cost thousands to repair. A quality cap pays for itself by preventing expensive liner replacement, masonry repairs, and interior water damage.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Stainless steel caps perform exceptionally well in Long Island’s coastal climate. They resist rust, handle temperature changes without cracking, and maintain their structural integrity through nor’easters and summer storms.
Copper caps are another excellent choice, especially for homes where aesthetics matter. They develop a protective patina that actually improves weather resistance over time, and they complement traditional architecture beautifully.
For wood-burning fireplaces, we recommend caps with integrated spark arrestors. These prevent burning embers from escaping while still providing full weather protection and animal exclusion.
Rust, cracks, or missing mesh screening are clear signs your cap needs attention. If you’ve noticed animals in your chimney, water stains on interior walls, or white staining on exterior masonry, your cap isn’t doing its job.
Loose or damaged mounting hardware is another red flag. Caps that shift during storms can create gaps that let water and animals in, defeating the entire purpose of having protection.
During our inspection, we check all these components and photograph any issues we find. You’ll see exactly what needs attention and why replacement makes more sense than temporary repairs.
Absolutely. Multi-flue chimneys are common in Village of the Branch homes, and we specialize in custom caps that cover multiple openings while maintaining proper ventilation for each flue.
These installations require precise measurements and custom fabrication to ensure each flue gets adequate protection without interfering with draft or ventilation. We design caps that look proportional to your chimney while providing complete weather protection.
Multi-flue caps often include dividers that prevent cross-contamination between different heating systems, plus integrated screening that keeps animals out of all openings simultaneously.
Most installations complete in half a day once we have your custom cap fabricated. Simple single-flue replacements often finish in just a few hours, while complex multi-flue systems might take a full day.
Weather plays a role in scheduling, since we won’t install caps during storms or high winds. Safety comes first, and proper installation requires stable conditions to ensure everything fits and seals correctly.
We coordinate timing around your schedule and provide specific arrival windows. Our team works efficiently but never rushes—your cap needs to be installed right the first time.
Quality chimney caps need minimal maintenance, but annual inspections help catch small issues before they become expensive problems. We check for loose hardware, damaged screening, and any debris buildup that might affect performance.
Stainless steel caps typically need only occasional cleaning to remove leaves and debris. Copper caps develop patina naturally and require no special treatment—the weathering actually improves their protection over time.
During routine chimney cleanings, we inspect your cap’s condition and tighten any hardware that may have loosened. This preventive approach keeps your protection working properly for decades.
