Caps & Crowns, Morris CountyYour Local Chimney Cap and Crown Crew in Morris County, NJ
The crown and cap at the top of a Morris County chimney take more weather than any other part of the house. Snow sits on them, rain soaks them and wind tests every fastener. A crown that cracks lets water straight into the brick and the flue, and a missing cap invites rain, leaves and animals. Our crew replaces broken crowns with properly formed ones that overhang the brick, seals crowns that are still sound, and fits stainless or copper caps that fit each flue tightly.

Caps & Crowns for Morris County Homes
Morris County climbs from the Passaic River valley in the east to ridges above 1,300 feet in the west. Chimneys in the higher western townships take colder nights and stronger wind, so we use well-fastened caps and crowns built thick enough to last there.
Mount Olive's median year built is 1978, with the largest share of homes from the 1970s. Crowns on chimneys from that era were often thin mortar washes rather than formed crowns, and by now many have cracked, so we rebuild them properly.
We install caps and crowns in Mount Olive, Roxbury, Washington Township, Randolph and Rockaway.
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.
