Caps & Crowns, Cape May CountyChimney Caps and Crowns by Your Local Crew in Cape May County, NJ
The top of the chimney takes the hardest hits in Cape May County. Salt air rusts thin metal caps, steady wind loosens fasteners, and rain that sits on a cracked crown works its way into the brick below. We replace worn caps with sturdy ones sized to each flue, fit chase covers on framed chimneys and repair or rebuild concrete crowns so they shed water instead of holding it. Every spring is a good time to check the top of the stack, before summer storms arrive.

Caps & Crowns for Cape May County Homes
Hurricane Gloria brought a 101 mile an hour gust to Ocean City in 1985. Wind like that can lift a loose cap right off the flue, so we fasten caps securely and make sure the crown under them is solid.
Strathmere is Upper Township's beach community on the island, while Seaville is its largest community. A chimney top that faces open ocean wears faster than one farther inland, and we choose cap materials with that in mind.
Caps and crowns are regular jobs for us in Upper Township, Ocean City, Wildwood, Cape May and Lower Township.
When to Call Us
- No cap on top of the flue
- Birds or animals in the chimney
- Cracks across the crown
- Rust stains on the firebox or damper
- Water dripping into the fireplace
How the Job Goes

We measure the flue and crown so the cap fits and the crown sheds water.
- Repair or replace
Small crown cracks get sealed; a failed crown gets replaced.
- Install the cap
A cap sized to your flue, fastened to stay on in strong wind.
- Check the rest
We look at the flashing and the top courses of brick while we are up there.
