Caps & Crowns, Sussex CountyChimney Caps and Crowns Built for Sussex County, NJ
On a Sussex County chimney, the crown and cap carry the worst of winter. Snow sits on the crown for weeks, and every thaw sends water into any crack. A weak cap can be crushed by ice or blown off in a nor'easter, leaving the flue open to snowmelt and animals. Our crew installs strong, screened caps sized to each flue and fastened tight, and we repair or rebuild crowns with a solid slope and an overhang that drips water clear of the brick.

Caps & Crowns for Sussex County Homes
Vernon Township has many lake communities, including Highland Lakes, Barry Lakes, Lake Panorama, Lake Wildwood and Pleasant Valley Lake. Wooded lakeside lots bring squirrels, raccoons and birds, and a well-fastened screened cap keeps them out of the flue.
High Point, at 1,803 feet, is the highest natural elevation in New Jersey, and Sussex County runs cooler than the rest of the state, with average January lows near 17 degrees in Newton. Crowns here face more freezing nights than most, so a crack that would be minor elsewhere matters here.
We install caps and crowns in Vernon, Sparta, Byram, Franklin and Hopatcong.
When to Call Us
- No cap on top of the flue
