Chimney Cap Installation in San Antonio, TX — Small Part. Big Protection.

It 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.
