Caps & Crowns, Lehigh CountyYour Local Chimney Caps and Crowns Team in Lehigh County, PA
Lehigh County sits between Blue Mountain and South Mountain, and its winters freeze and thaw the top of every chimney day after day. The crown takes that punishment first. Once it cracks, water soaks into the brick and the flue below, and a missing or rusted cap lets rain, leaves and animals straight in. We seal hairline crown cracks, rebuild broken crowns with a slope and overhang that throws water clear of the brick, and fit stainless caps on every flue so the chimney stays dry through the snow season.

Caps & Crowns for Lehigh County Homes
In Allentown, January highs average about 34 degrees and lows about 21, which means the crown can freeze and thaw daily through much of the winter. A crack that is small in November can be wide open by March.
Upper Macungie's villages include Breinigsville, Fogelsville, Trexlertown, Kuhnsville and Krocksville, and many of their homes are newer builds. On those houses the usual top-of-chimney problems are a thin crown, a cheap cap or a rusting chase cover, all of which we replace with sturdier parts.
Caps and crowns are regular work for us in Upper Macungie, Lower Macungie, South Whitehall, Whitehall and Allentown.
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

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.
