Caps & Crowns, Union CountyYour Local Chimney Cap and Crown Pros in Union County, NJ
The cap and crown are small parts that protect everything below them. On a Union County chimney, the crown sheds rain and melting snow away from the flue, and the cap keeps water, leaves and animals out of it. Cracks in the crown are where freeze-thaw damage usually begins, and a missing cap lets rain soak the inside of the flue. Our crew pours new crowns with a proper overhang, seals sound ones, and fits stainless or copper caps sized to each flue on the chimney.

Caps & Crowns for Union County Homes
Summit is the northernmost city in Union County, on a ridge bordering Essex and Morris counties. Chimneys on that ridge stand in more wind than those in the low towns near the Arthur Kill, so we fasten caps firmly and check crowns for loose sections.
Scotch Plains sits on a ridge, with the 1,945-acre Watchung Reservation covering its north side. Homes near the woods see falling leaves, twigs and curious animals, and a screened cap keeps all of them out of the flue.
We replace caps and crowns in Summit, Scotch Plains, Springfield, Westfield and Union Township.
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
