Caps & Crowns, Hunterdon CountyYour Local Pros for Chimney Caps and Crowns in Hunterdon County, NJ
On a Hunterdon County chimney, the crown and cap are the first line against weather, and the hill country gives them plenty of it. A cracked crown lets water straight into the masonry, and a flue without a cap takes rain, leaves, birds and squirrels. On old farmhouses with several flues, one missing cap can soak a whole stack. Our crew rebuilds crowns with an overhang and drip edge, seals crowns that are still sound, and fits caps sized to each flue.

Caps & Crowns for Hunterdon County Homes
Much of Hunterdon County is hilly, rising to about 1,060 feet in Lebanon Township, and higher ground runs colder: Clinton's January average is 29 degrees, Lambertville's about 31. Crowns on hilltop homes see more freezing nights, so we build them thick and pitched to shed water.
The Frenchtown Historic District covers the community and was listed for buildings and planning from 1795 to 1931. On a locally regulated house there, a new cap or crown that shows from the street can need approval, so we suggest low-profile designs that suit the building.
We fit caps and crowns in Frenchtown, Tewksbury, High Bridge, Readington and Raritan 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
- 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.
