A stack with more than one flue
Chimneys that serve two fireplaces, or a fireplace and a heating appliance, carry more than one flue tile through the crown. Each tile can take its own cap, or one outside-mount cover can span the crown and every tile under it. The right choice depends on how far each tile stands above the crown, how sound the crown concrete is, and what each flue vents.
On a multi-flue chimney in Orange Park we measure every tile and the crown outline, then set out both options with their trade-offs. You get the measurements with the choices, so the comparison is on paper rather than in memory. Cap missing or rusted on your Orange Park chimney? Our cap pros measure the flue for free; just call (904) 920-5495.

How It Works
From tile measure to fastened cap in Orange Park
-
Every flue tile measured
On the free visit we measure each tile inside and out, and how far it stands above the crown.
-
Cap picked from the maker's chart
Model, metal grade and screen come from the sizing chart and our own numbers, never from the old cap.
-
Old cap off, new cap fastened
Set screws, a clamp band or masonry anchors are tightened to the maker's instructions, firm enough for a hard blow without cracking the clay.
-
Screen checked, debris hauled off
We check the mesh along every edge, clear out any nest material, haul away the old cap and show you the finished top.
Local Conditions
Flue tiles cut flush with the crown in Orange Park
Some flue tiles stop level with the crown, which leaves most single-flue caps nothing to grip. A cap forced onto a flush tile works loose in the wind.
For chimneys in Orange Park like that, the estimate offers an outside-mount cap over the crown or a way to raise the tile.

A screen that comes off for the brush
Florida's code also expects the screen or cap to come off so the flue can be cleaned. So the lid should be hinged or bolted, or a screen panel held by screws that are reachable from the roof. Caps that were glued down, or screwed through the lid into the crown, defeat that expectation and turn a routine sweep into a repair job.
We fit caps whose lid or screen comes away with hand tools, and we show you which fasteners hold it in case another contractor needs to know. The same design lets the mesh be brushed clean on the roof, which is where soot deposits build first.
A damper that doubles as the rain cap
Fitted to the flue tile in place of a cap, a top-sealing damper has a hinged lid with a gasket and is opened and closed by a stainless cable that runs down to a bracket inside the firebox. Closed, it seals the flue at the top, which keeps conditioned air in the house and rain out of the flue. Models with a screen in the frame also keep animals out, as a cap would. It is chosen when the throat damper is rusted or warped, and it follows its maker's sizing just as a cap does. The one thing to remember is to open it fully before any fire is lit.
Why the old cap is not the pattern
Ordering a replacement to match the cap that came off is tempting. The trouble is that the old cap may not have fit in the first place. Caps sized a step too small get forced over a tile and crack it; caps a step too large sit loose and walk off in wind. Some were fitted before the crown was redone and no longer match the tile height at all.
So we measure the tile and the crown as they are today and size from the maker's chart, and the old cap leaves the roof with its fasteners. The measurements stay on file for whoever services the chimney next.

FAQ
Cap questions we hear in Orange Park
Do you replace chimney caps in Orange Park?
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 Orange Park.
Can the old cap be repaired instead of replaced?
A sound cap that has only worked loose can be reseated and refastened. Rusted mesh, a split band or a bent hood mean replacement. We tell you which one you have before any work is priced.
