A chimney cap is small and inexpensive, but it does big work — keeping rain, animals, and debris out of your flue while blocking sparks and downdrafts. We install and replace stainless steel and copper caps throughout the Portland metro.
The cap is the metal cover with a mesh screen that sits on top of your chimney's flue. It's one of the cheapest parts of a chimney, but skipping it is one of the most expensive mistakes a homeowner can make. A good cap protects your chimney in four ways at once:
In the Portland area, a single-flue stainless steel cap typically runs $150 to $600 installed. Multi-flue caps that cover the entire chimney top, and custom copper caps, cost more. We measure your flue precisely so the cap fits and seals correctly.
A new cap works hand in hand with a solid crown and waterproofing to seal your chimney against Portland weather.
A properly fitted stainless steel cap protecting the flue from rain, animals, and sparks.
A single-flue stainless steel cap typically runs $150 to $600 installed. Multi-flue and custom copper caps cost more. We measure your flue and quote an exact price.

It keeps rain out of the flue, stops animals from nesting, blocks debris, and its spark screen helps prevent rooftop embers. It also reduces downdrafts and water damage.
Stainless steel for long-lasting, rust-resistant protection, or copper for a premium look. Both include a mesh screen to keep out animals and embers.
