Caps & Crowns, Salem CountySalem County, NJ Chimney Caps and Crowns From Your Local Crew
Every flue in Salem County should have a screened cap, and the reasons are right outside. Farm properties bring birds, raccoons and squirrels looking for a warm, sheltered spot, and open country brings wind and rain at an angle. Under the cap, the crown has to shed water away from the brick, or it cracks and starts to leak. Our crew fits caps to each flue, including oil and wood flues, and repairs or rebuilds crowns so they slope and overhang properly.

Caps & Crowns for Salem County Homes
Flat, open land across Salem County gives wind a long run at the top of a chimney. A cap that is not fastened well can lift or blow off, and a crown without a drip edge lets wind-driven rain run straight down the brick.
Pennsville is the westernmost town in New Jersey, with communities such as Deepwater, Fort Mott and Penn Beach. River air there is hard on painted or galvanized caps, so stainless steel or copper is the smarter buy.
Caps and crowns go on chimneys in Pennsville, Carneys Point, Penns Grove, Pittsgrove and Woodstown.
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

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.

We look at the flashing and the top courses of brick while we are up there.
