Caps & Crowns, Bucks CountyYour Local Chimney Caps and Crowns Team in Bucks County, PA
Caps and crowns are the first line of defense for a chimney in Bucks County. The crown sheds rain and melting snow away from the flue, and the cap keeps out water, leaves, birds and raccoons while stopping sparks from landing on the roof. When the crown cracks or the cap rusts out, the rest of the chimney pays for it. We repair or rebuild crowns with a proper overhang and drip edge, and fit stainless caps or chase covers sized to the chimney you have.

Caps & Crowns for Bucks County Homes
Chimneys on hilltops and open farmland around Doylestown take the worst of winter wind, and in extreme cold wind chills can fall below minus 12 degrees. We fasten caps so they stay put through that kind of weather and make sure the crown beneath is solid.
Lower Makefield grew quickly in recent decades, including a housing boom in the 1990s. Many homes from that boom have factory-built fireplaces with framed chases, and the metal chase cover on top is often the first part to rust and leak.
Caps, crowns and chase covers are everyday work for us in Lower Makefield, Newtown Township, Doylestown, Warrington and New Hope.
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.
