Caps & Crowns, Nassau CountyYour Local Chimney Caps and Crowns Crew in Nassau County, NY
Coastal wind and freeze-thaw winters are hard on the top of a Nassau chimney. A crown that cracks lets water soak straight into the stack, and a rusted cap lets rain, leaves and animals down the flue. On homes with oil boilers, a damaged cap also lets water mix with soot and form acids that eat at the liner. A new crown or cap costs far less effort than rebuilding a rotted stack later, so we treat them as early fixes. Crowns get a drip edge, and caps are sized to each flue.

Caps & Crowns for Nassau County Homes
The developer who bought Long Beach in 1907 made buyers build in a Mediterranean look, with white stucco walls and red clay tile roofs. Tile roofs crack underfoot, so cap and crown work there calls for careful roof access and materials that suit the house.
Biltmore Shores, Harbor Green and Bar Harbor are named neighborhoods in southern Massapequa, on Long Island's South Shore. Homes there need caps that stand up to salt air, which is why we use stainless steel rather than plain steel.
We install caps and crowns in Long Beach, Massapequa, Freeport, Port Washington and Great Neck.
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.
