Hail Destroys Builder-Grade Caps
The thin caps installed during construction dent, tear and blow off in North Texas hail and wind. We replace them with heavier-gauge caps anchored to the flue or crown, sized to shed hail instead of catching it.

Dallas–Fort Worth sits in hail alley, and chimney caps take the hit. Spring hailstorms dent and tear the thin builder-grade caps installed on most area homes, and straight-line winds rip off anything that was not anchored correctly. Once the cap is gone, the next storm puts water directly into the flue.
We install heavier-gauge stainless and powder-coated caps anchored to the flue tile or crown — not friction-fit — so they stay put through North Texas storm seasons. From older masonry stacks in Lakewood and Oak Cliff to prefab chases in Frisco, McKinney and Allen, every cap is measured and fitted to the specific chimney.

The top of the chimney is the hardest part of the house to see — and the easiest place for expensive damage to start. These are the signs to act on.

The thin caps installed during construction dent, tear and blow off in North Texas hail and wind. We replace them with heavier-gauge caps anchored to the flue or crown, sized to shed hail instead of catching it.

Once a cap is gone, every thunderstorm pushes water into the flue. The damage shows up as a rusted damper, stained firebox or water marks on the ceiling near the chimney.

Squirrels and birds move into open flues, and nesting material blocking the vent is a carbon monoxide hazard when the furnace runs. A screened cap ends the cycle.
Describe what you see — or what you hear. We'll measure on the roof, give you a written price, and fit the cap that actually protects your chimney.

Stainless steel and powder-coated caps sized to the exact flue tile, anchored with the correct hardware — not friction-fit — with spark-arresting mesh that keeps embers in and animals out.

One cover that spans every flue and protects the whole crown. The cleanest solution for chimneys with two or three flues, and the best protection for the crown underneath.

Humane removal of nests and blockages, a flue check to confirm nothing is lodged deeper, then a screened cap installation so the flue stays clear for good.

Wind-resistant and draft-improving designs, oversized and odd-shaped flues, and caps for prefab chase covers — measured on the roof and ordered to fit, not approximated.
Missing cap, rust, animal sounds, water after rain — describe it and we book a roof visit with the right caps on the truck.
We measure each flue tile and the crown, check the crown's condition, and confirm the cap style that fits your chimney and your weather.
You get the exact cap, material and price in writing before any work begins. If the crown or flashing needs attention too, you see it in the same estimate.
The cap is anchored to the flue tile or crown with masonry-rated hardware, the mesh is checked, and the old cap and debris leave with us.
You get photos of the finished installation from the roof, so you can see exactly what is protecting your chimney without climbing up yourself.

“Called about raccoons getting into the chimney. They installed a new stainless cap the same week. Quick, clean, and the captain explained how to keep it maintained. Highly recommend.”

“Water was coming in around our chimney every time it rained. Captain found the cracked crown and bad flashing, explained everything clearly, and fixed it in one visit. Not a drop since.”

Not sure what's on top of your chimney? Most homeowners aren't. Call and we'll take a look from the roof.
(682) 217-3577It depends on the flue size, cap material and whether one flue or the whole crown is covered. A single stainless cap is a very different job from a full multi-flue crown cover. We measure on the roof and give a written price before work begins.
Yes. An open flue lets in rain, snow, animals and debris. Water is the single biggest cause of chimney damage, and a cap is the cheapest protection the chimney has — far less expensive than repairing a water-damaged liner or rusted damper later.
A cap covers the flue opening itself. A chase cover is the metal top on a factory-built (prefab) chimney chase. Many homes need both — we check which type of chimney you have and fit the right parts.
Yes, when it has proper mesh screening and is anchored correctly. The screen blocks squirrels, birds and raccoons while letting smoke and exhaust out. If animals are already inside, we remove the nest and blockage first.
Stainless steel and powder-coated caps typically last decades. Thin galvanized hardware-store caps can rust through in a few years, which is why we do not install them.
Often yes — we stock the common flue sizes on the truck. Unusual sizes, multi-flue covers and custom caps are measured first and installed once the correct part is in hand.
Yes — 10% off for military, veterans, seniors 65+, police, firefighters and EMTs. Mention it when you call (682) 217-3577.
Often yes — hail damage to the cap and chase cover is commonly part of a storm claim. We can inspect, document the damage with photos and give you a written estimate for the claim.
Anchoring. We fasten caps to the flue tile or crown with the correct hardware for the chimney type instead of relying on friction fits, and we use heavier-gauge metal that does not deform in hail.
One visit, one written price, and your chimney is sealed against water, animals and debris.
