Warning Signs
When Chimneys Need Caps
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Water Damage Inside the Flue
Water Damage Inside the Flue
Rain entering an uncapped chimney saturates flue tiles and mortar. Freeze-thaw cycles then crack the liner, deteriorate joints from inside, and cause expensive structural damage that spreads quickly.
Animals Nesting in Your Chimney
Animals Nesting in Your Chimney
Birds, squirrels, and raccoons see open chimneys as shelter. Nests block airflow, create fire hazards, expose your family to pests and disease, and require professional removal.
Debris and Spark Hazards
Debris and Spark Hazards
Leaves and twigs fall into open flues, restricting draft and creating fire risk. Without spark arrestor mesh, burning embers can escape and land on your roof—a serious fire code concern.

Chimney protection
A simple upgrade that prevents expensive problems
A chimney cap is a metal cover with mesh screening that sits atop your flue, keeping water, animals, and debris out while allowing smoke and gases to vent freely.
Most chimney damage we see—cracked flue liners, rusted dampers, deteriorated crowns—traces back to water entry. A properly installed cap stops rain at the source and adds years to your chimney life.
What Chimney Cap Installation Includes:
Prevents water damage that causes liner cracks and mortar deterioration
Spark arrestor mesh meets fire codes and protects your roof
Proper sizing ensures good draft and prevents smoking issues
When is Chimney Cap Installation Needed?
No existing cap
If your chimney is open to the sky, it needs a cap.
Rusted or damaged cap
Old galvanized caps rust through. Replace before they fail.
Animal problems
Recurring nests or animal entry means cap is missing or damaged.
See the Transformation
The original crown was cracked and the decorative chimney pots had deteriorated. We poured a new concrete crown and sourced custom terracotta pots to match.

Types of chimney caps we install
Different brick problems call for different repairs. We look at the damage and recommend the lightest fix that actually solves it—nothing more, nothing less.
Stainless steel caps
The best value for most homes. Stainless resists rust, handles temperature swings, and typically carries a lifetime warranty.

Why install a chimney cap
Small investment, significant protection
Stops water damage
Rain is the biggest threat to chimneys. A cap keeps water out of the flue where it causes the most expensive damage.
Blocks animals and pests
Mesh screening keeps birds, squirrels, raccoons, and insects from nesting in your chimney.
Prevents debris buildup
Leaves, twigs, and windblown debris stay out, reducing cleaning frequency and fire risk.
Contains sparks
Spark arrestor mesh catches burning embers before they can land on your roof or nearby combustibles.

Mark T.
Our old cap rusted through and was letting water in. They installed a new stainless steel one and inspected the whole chimney while they were up there.
Susan L.
Went with copper to match our heritage home. Looks great and they fabricated it to fit perfectly. Worth the investment.

Local Expertise
Chimney Caps for Toronto Homes
Toronto's proximity to Lake Ontario means increased moisture, lake-effect snow, and wildlife looking for shelter. Raccoons are especially common—they love open chimneys. A quality cap protects your flue and keeps animals out.
Lake-Effect Protection
Lake Ontario drives moisture into the city—caps prevent rain and snow from damaging your flue liner and damper.
Wildlife Exclusion
Toronto raccoons, birds, and squirrels nest in unprotected chimneys. Mesh-sided caps keep them out safely.
Spark Arrestor
Caps with spark arrestor mesh prevent embers from landing on roofs—important in dense Toronto neighbourhoods.
What Affects Pricing
We believe in transparent pricing without hidden fees. Because every property is unique, we provide detailed assessments rather than generic estimates.
What Influences Your Quote?
Cap material
Galvanized is cheapest but rusts. Stainless is mid-range with lifetime durability. Copper costs more but looks great.
Single vs multi-flue
Individual caps per flue vs one large cap covering all. Multi-flue is often more economical for chimneys with 2+ flues.
Chimney height and access
Standard single-story roofs are straightforward. Steep pitches, multi-story, or difficult access adds time.
Custom requirements
Unusual flue shapes or sizes may require custom fabrication, which takes longer and costs more.
Related repairs
If the crown is cracked or flashing is failing, addressing these at the same time is more efficient.
Our Transparent Pricing Promise
Most residential repairs are more affordable than homeowners expect when caught early. We provide a detailed written quote before any work begins.
