Caps & Crowns, Suffolk CountyChimney Caps and Crowns in Suffolk County, NY From Your Local Crew
A sound cap and crown protect everything below them on a Suffolk chimney. The crown seals the top of the masonry so water cannot soak in and freeze, and the cap keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue. On an oil-heated chimney, water in the flue mixes with soot and forms acid that wears on the liner, so a good cap protects more than the top of the stack. Our local crew replaces cracked crowns with properly formed ones and fits caps sized to each flue, in stainless steel for homes near the water.

Caps & Crowns for Suffolk County Homes
Bay Shore is a hamlet in the Town of Islip on the Great South Bay. Salt air off the bay wears out plain steel caps quickly, and a stainless cap anchored to a sound crown holds up far longer.
Average January temperatures in Hauppauge sit right around 31 degrees, the edge where wet brick freezes and thaws over and over. A crown with even small cracks lets water in each time, which is why crown repair is one of the most useful jobs we do in Suffolk.
We install caps and crowns in Bay Shore, Smithtown, Patchogue, Lindenhurst and Ronkonkoma.
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

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.
