Caps & Crowns, Gloucester CountyChimney Caps and Crowns in Gloucester County, NJ, by Your Local Pros
When a Gloucester County chimney has trouble at the top, the cap and crown are usually involved. Caps blow off or bend in high wind, mesh rusts through and lets birds in, and crowns crack until water runs straight into the brick. These parts are simple to fix early and expensive to ignore. Our crew fits screened caps sized to each flue, fastens them so wind cannot lift them, and repairs or rebuilds crowns with a slope and overhang that throws water clear of the chimney.

Caps & Crowns for Gloucester County Homes
In Newfield, near the southern edge of the county, monthly temperatures average from about 33 degrees in January to about 77 in July. That swing means winter crowns sit wet and cold, then bake in summer, and a crown without a proper slope cracks under that cycle.
Mantua Township was formed in 1853 and named for Mantua Creek on its northeastern border. Homes near creeks and woods see more birds and squirrels, and a screened cap is the easy way to keep them out of the flue.
Caps and crowns are a regular job for us in Mantua, Glassboro, Washington Township, West Deptford and Woodbury.
When to Call Us
- No cap on top of the flue
