Chimney Cap Installation in Maryland
An open flue is an open door — to rain, raccoons, nesting birds and downdrafts. We measure and install stainless steel, copper and multi-flue caps with integrated animal guards and spark arrestors, and register the manufacturer warranty in your name.

About This Service
A cap is cheap insurance for the most expensive parts of the chimney: the liner, the damper and the firebox. Rain running down a flue rusts dampers, spalls firebrick and mixes with creosote into a corrosive slurry. We size caps to the actual flue — single-flue, multi-flue and full custom shrouds — in 304-grade stainless that will not rust through like the galvanized caps we remove every week.
What's Included
- 304-grade stainless single-flue caps
- Multi-flue caps and full custom shrouds
- Copper caps for premium and historic homes
- Animal guard mesh and spark arrestors
- Manufacturer warranty registered in your name

FAQ
Chimney Cap Installation — Questions, Answered
My chimney has two flues — do I need two caps?
Either one cap per flue or a single multi-flue shroud covering both. We measure and show you both options with photos.
Will a cap cause draft problems?
A correctly sized cap improves draft stability and stops downdrafts; undersized caps are the problem, and we do not install them.
How long does a stainless cap last?
304 stainless typically outlasts the roof around it. Galvanized caps rust out in a few Maryland winters — that is why we do not sell them.
Can a cap keep animals out?
Yes — the welded animal-guard mesh keeps raccoons, squirrels and birds out while letting smoke flow freely.
