What to tell us when you call
A few details on the phone help us arrive prepared. Tell us whether the chimney is brick or a framed box with siding, how many flue tiles you can see from the yard, whether a cap is there at all, and what made you call: water, noise, animals or rust. If there is a label or a maker's name on the old cap, mention it.
The Nassauville visit then starts with a ladder long enough for the roof and a cap sizing kit, and every detail is confirmed on site before anything is priced. Nothing is ordered on the strength of the phone call alone. Tell us at (904) 920-5495 what the cap on your Nassauville chimney looks like now.

Refastening caps after storms in Nassauville
Near the coast, hurricane season storms from June 1 to November 30 can shift a cap on its tile. A leaning cap lets rain in and can fall off in the next blow.
After a storm, a look from the yard in Nassauville tells you whether the cap is square. If it is not, we reseat it or replace it and fix the fastening.

Even a small job like a cap gets the full discount.
A flue tile cut level with the crown
Some crowns were poured up to the top of the flue tile, or the tile was cut off level with the concrete. Most single-flue caps need tile standing above the crown to clamp around or seat on, so a flush tile leaves them little to hold. The practical answers are an outside-mount cap that fastens to the crown itself, or a crown repair that re-forms the top with the tile standing proud and a caulked joint around it. We explain both, since the second also corrects a crown detail the chimney design note from BIA treats as standard: the tile standing at least 2 inches above the crown.
A flue serving a furnace or water heater
When a masonry flue carries exhaust from a heating appliance or water heater, that appliance's installation instructions govern the vent, including what may sit on top of it. Those instructions can call for a particular cap type or rule out a fine screen, because mesh on an appliance flue can collect debris and restrict the exhaust. We identify the appliance on each flue before choosing a cap, follow its instructions, and record which cap went on which flue. If the appliance vents through its own metal pipe running inside the chimney, that pipe stays with the termination its own maker specifies, and we leave it as it is.
Cap metal where salt reaches the roof
Salt carried on the wind settles on a cap and draws moisture to it, and chloride salt attacks metal that would last for years further inland. Some cap makers offer a Type 316 stainless line, sold as marine grade, for sites near salt water, since the molybdenum alloyed into 316 resists chloride pitting better than the common grade. A stainless-steel guide from the International Molybdenum Association adds that sheltered, rain-shadowed crevices hold salt longer than surfaces rain rinses, and a cap screen is full of such crevices. We follow the maker's grade guidance for the exposure, name the grade, and suggest rinsing the cap when the chimney is serviced.
What sets the cap on your estimate
- Metal and grade named: galvanized, a stainless type, or copper
- Which appliance each flue serves, confirmed before a cap is chosen
- Anything near the chimney on the roof that belongs to a roofer
- Clean-up of old metal, screws and debris from the roof and yard
Cap questions we hear in Nassauville
Do you replace chimney caps in Nassauville?
We do. Call or send the form, tell us what you see at the top of the chimney, and we set a time to measure in Nassauville.
Can a cap go on if the crown is cracked?
A single-flue cap can, if the tile itself is sound, though the crown still lets water in around it. A full-crown cap needs sound concrete to anchor into, so the crown is repaired first.
