Chimney Caps
A chimney cap is the single most cost-effective upgrade you can add to your chimney. It keeps rain out of the flue, blocks animals from nesting inside, catches sparks before they land on your roof, and prevents downdrafts. We install stainless steel, copper, and galvanized caps on chimneys across Allen and Collin County. Call (972) 521-7225.

Chimney Cap Install — Starting at $150
Water damage is the biggest concern. Rain entering an uncapped chimney soaks into the flue liner, rusts the damper, stains the firebox, and causes the mortar joints to deteriorate from the inside. Over a few years, this water damage can cost thousands in chimney repair. A $150–$350 cap prevents all of it.
Animal prevention is the second biggest reason. Raccoons, birds, and squirrels all see an open flue as a cozy home. Once they’re inside, you need professional animal removal plus a chimney sweep plus a cap install. Getting the cap first is much cheaper than dealing with the aftermath. If a new cap alone does not stop smoke from blowing back, a chimney draft fan is the next step.
Stainless steel single-flue cap: $150–$300 installed. Copper cap: $300–$600. Multi-flue cover: $400–$900. Price includes on-site measurement, the cap, mesh screen, secure mounting, and crown inspection. We quote exact pricing after seeing your chimney.
Stainless steel: lifetime (with manufacturer warranty). Copper: lifetime. Galvanized: 5–10 years before rusting in Allen’s climate. We only install stainless steel or copper — never galvanized — because we want your cap to outlast the chimney.
A properly sized cap does not restrict draft. In fact, wind-directional caps can actually improve draft by creating a venturi effect in windy conditions. We size every cap to match your flue opening exactly.
Technically yes, but we don’t recommend it. Getting the wrong size means it either doesn’t fit or blows off in the first storm. And you need to be on the roof to install it — which means fall risk. Professional installation ensures proper fit, secure mounting, and a warranty.
