Caps & Crowns, Ocean CountyChimney Caps and Crowns in Ocean County, NJ, by Your Local Pros
On an Ocean County shore home, the top of the chimney is the first place to look. Salt air rusts painted and galvanized caps, wind loosens the screws that hold them, and a cracked concrete crown lets water into the brick long before anything shows inside. Our crew installs stainless steel or copper caps with mesh over every flue, fastened to stay put in storm wind, and we repair or rebuild crowns so they slope water off the brick. On older chimneys we also look at the flashing while we are up there.

Caps & Crowns for Ocean County Homes
About 31.3 percent of Ocean County's area lies in the ocean, Barnegat Bay and the waterways around them. Towns on the bay and the barrier beaches take steady wind and salty air, which works on metal caps, chase covers and their fasteners.
The Manasquan River-Bay Head Canal, finished in 1925, divides Point Pleasant in half. With that much water around, chimney caps there see salt and wind year round, and stainless steel or copper outlasts painted metal.
Caps and crowns are a steady job for us in Point Pleasant, Brick, Toms River, Jackson and Lakewood.
When to Call Us
- No cap on top of the flue
