Caps & Crowns, QueensChimney Caps and Crowns Done Right in Queens, NY
On a Queens chimney the crown and the cap are the roof over the flue. When the crown cracks, freeze-thaw water goes straight into the stack. When the cap rusts out, rain, leaves and birds go straight down the flue. Tall Tudor stacks catch more wind and weather than a short row-house chimney, and their crowns usually show wear first. Our local crew rebuilds crowns with a drip edge that sheds water away from the brick and fits caps sized to each flue, so the chimney stays dry and clear.

Caps & Crowns for Queens Homes
English and neo-Tudor styles still dominate many parts of Kew Gardens. Those chimneys often carry decorative pots or tall clustered flues, so a replacement cap has to fit the design and still let the boiler vent freely.
Bayside has a large housing stock of free-standing homes. A detached house leaves the chimney open to wind on every side, which makes a secure, well-anchored cap and a crown without cracks especially important.
We install caps and crowns in Kew Gardens, Bayside, Forest Hills, Whitestone and Flushing.
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
