Caps & Crowns, Middlesex CountyChimney Caps and Crowns in Middlesex County, NJ from Your Local Crew
Near Raritan Bay and the Arthur Kill, salt-laden wind wears on metal caps, chase covers and flashing faster than it does inland, and crowns take the same freeze-thaw beating as anywhere else in Middlesex County. A failed cap lets rain and animals into the flue, and a cracked crown sends water into the brick. Our crew replaces rusted caps with stainless steel or copper, rebuilds broken crowns with a proper overhang, and seals sound crowns that only have surface cracks.

Caps & Crowns for Middlesex County Homes
Some of Perth Amboy's large Victorian homes stand on hills above the bay, fully open to the wind off the water. Caps there need solid fastening and corrosion-resistant metal, and we fit both.
The Laurence Harbor beachfront on Raritan Bay has beaches and a boardwalk, and homes nearby take salt spray much of the year. Plain steel caps and chase covers rust quickly there, so we use stainless steel or copper.
We replace caps and crowns in Old Bridge, Perth Amboy, Sayreville, Woodbridge and Metuchen.
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.
