Caps & Crowns, Somerset CountyYour Local Chimney Cap and Crown Team for Somerset County, NJ
The top of the chimney is where Somerset County weather does the most damage. A crown that cracks lets water into the brick and down the flue, and a missing or rusted cap lets in rain, leaves and animals along with it. Fixing the top is usually the least costly way to protect everything below it. Our crew forms new crowns with an overhang and drip edge, seals sound crowns, and fits stainless steel or copper caps sized to each flue and fastened to stay put.

Caps & Crowns for Somerset County Homes
The Second Watchung Mountain ridge runs east to west through Warren Township, and homes on the high ground there take more wind than those in the valley. We fasten caps securely and check that crowns have not loosened from the flue tile.
Bedminster lies in the Somerset Hills, bordering Hunterdon and Morris counties. Larger houses there often have more than one flue, and a multi-flue cap or separate caps keep each one dry and free of nests.
We fit caps and crowns in Warren Township, Bedminster, Bernards Township, Montgomery Township and Branchburg.
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.
