Caps & Crowns, The BronxYour Local Chimney Caps and Crowns Service in The Bronx, NY
Near the water, the Bronx is hard on chimney caps. Salt air corrodes plain steel caps and fasteners faster than inland air does, so stainless steel or copper caps hold up better on the East Bronx shore. A cracked crown is just as serious: it lets water straight into the top of the stack, where freezing widens every gap. After any major storm it is worth checking that caps and crowns are still sound. Our local crew replaces both, sizing caps to each flue and forming crowns that shed water away from the brick.

Caps & Crowns for The Bronx Homes
Old Victorian mansions with tall spires and gables stand around City Island, mostly on the Long Island Sound side. Chimneys on those houses face salt wind directly, and a stainless or copper cap is the one that lasts.
Silver Beach Gardens started as a summer colony of bungalows that were later converted for year-round living. Chimneys on converted bungalows were not always built for full-time heating, and a good crown and cap help protect them through the winter.
We install caps and crowns on City Island, in Silver Beach Gardens on Throggs Neck, and in Country Club, Pelham Bay and Riverdale.
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.
