Caps & Crowns, Hudson CountyYour Local Pros for Chimney Caps and Crowns in Hudson County, NJ
Salt air and river wind are hard on the metal and concrete at the top of a Hudson County chimney. Plain steel caps rust through, screws loosen, and a crown that was thin to begin with cracks after a few winters of freezing nights. When the cap goes, rain, pigeons and debris go straight down the flue. Our crew fits stainless steel or copper caps that stand up to this air, and we rebuild crowns with a drip edge so water falls clear of the brick.

Caps & Crowns for Hudson County Homes
Bayonne sits on Bergen Neck, a peninsula between Newark Bay, the Kill Van Kull and New York Bay, so its chimneys take salt air from several directions. That is why we fit stainless steel or copper caps there instead of plain steel, which rusts much faster.
West New York stands on top of the New Jersey Palisades, where chimneys are fully exposed to wind. We fasten caps securely to the flue or crown and check that older crowns are not loose, since high wind finds every weak spot.
We install caps and rebuild crowns in Bayonne, West New York, Weehawken, Secaucus and Jersey City.
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
- Measure
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.
