The chimney crown is very important. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This safeguards your flue and chimney from rainfall and other elements.

Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
