Caps & Crowns, Warren CountyYour Local Chimney Cap and Crown Crew in Warren County, NJ
Warren County sits between ridges and valleys, and its winters punish the top of a chimney. A crown with a hairline crack takes water on every thaw and splits a little more on every freeze. Without a cap, rain and snow fall straight into the flue and soak the liner and masonry from the inside. Our crew fits screened caps to every flue, caps unused flues on older homes, and repairs or rebuilds crowns so they slope water away and protect the brick below.

Caps & Crowns for Warren County Homes
Hackettstown runs colder than Phillipsburg, with a January average of about 27 degrees against 29. Even that small difference means more nights below freezing, and a crown in the northern part of the county takes more freeze-thaw cycles each winter.
Warren County lies in two valleys of the Great Appalachian Valley, the Kittatinny Valley in the north and the Lehigh Valley along the south, with the Kittatinny Ridge on the west. Homes on hillsides and open slopes take more wind at the chimney top, so we fasten caps securely to the flue or crown.
We install caps and rebuild crowns in Hackettstown, Blairstown, Washington, Phillipsburg and Lopatcong.
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.
- Check the rest
We look at the flashing and the top courses of brick while we are up there.
