Caps & Crowns, Staten IslandYour Local Chimney Caps and Crowns Pros in Staten Island, NY
Tree cover is part of the appeal of many Staten Island streets, and it is also why so many flues here fill with leaves, twigs and nests. A well-fitted cap with screening keeps the flue open and keeps rain out. The crown below it does the other half of the job, sealing the top of the chimney so water cannot soak into the brick. A cracked crown should be replaced before water reaches the flue. Our local crew fits caps sized to each flue and forms crowns that shed water away from the masonry.

Caps & Crowns for Staten Island Homes
Westerleigh sits on high ground, and Ingram Woods on its southern side near the Staten Island Expressway is a preserved remnant of an older forest. High, wooded spots like that combine wind and falling debris, which makes a secure, screened cap well worth it.
Away from the parkland of the Staten Island Greenbelt, Todt Hill is private homes, and most streets have no sidewalks. Houses there sit among mature trees, and an uncapped chimney collects leaves and nesting birds within a season.
We install caps and crowns in Westerleigh, Todt Hill, Annadale, Dongan Hills and Huguenot.
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
