Custom and full-coverage caps that keep rain, snow, birds, and animals out of your chimney year-round.
An open flue is an invitation — for rain, snow, and every bird, squirrel, or raccoon looking for shelter. Caps and guards close that opening while still letting smoke and gases vent properly. We install everything from a single replacement flue cap to a custom, full-coverage cap engineered for chimneys with multiple flues.
Cap & Guard Options
- Standard flue caps and rain guards sized to individual flues
- Bird guards to keep nesting animals out of the flue year-round
- Full-coverage caps — custom-built in stainless steel or copper, with optional powder coating in a range of colors — that cover the entire chimney top like an umbrella
- Full-coverage caps are also a practical alternative to a concrete crown, offering the same water protection with better animal-intrusion resistance and a cleaner look than several mismatched individual caps
Signs You May Need This Service
- Your chimney has no cap at all, or a rusted, damaged, or missing flue cap
- You've heard scratching, chirping, or movement in the chimney — a sign of animal nesting
- Multiple flues are capped with mismatched or ill-fitting individual caps
- You want better protection against rain without a full crown replacement
The 21st Century Chimney Sweep Approach
A cap is one of the simplest, most effective investments you can make in your chimney — it keeps out the water that causes spalling and crown failure, and the animals that cause blockages and chimney fires. We'll recommend the right option for your chimney's flue configuration during your inspection.
