Custom Chimney Caps

The chimney cap defends the masonry structure from the destructive forces of Mother Nature, keeping rain, snow, wind, debris, and even neighborhood critters like birds, bats, and rats out of the flue so that smoke and exhaust can escape. However, strong winds and hail can damage or even blow the cap off the top of chimneys in Texas. Repairing or replacing the cap with a durable, properly fitted component is simple yet highly effective.

For over 25 years, Masters Services, a team of seasoned professionals, has been the trusted source for chimney tops, including flue caps, full-width chimney caps, and chase covers, for homeowners across the North Texas.

Why Your Chimney Top Needs a Cap In Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Imagine a hole in your roof, exposed to the elements. That's what an uncapped chimney is like. Without a cap, your chimney is vulnerable to:

Water Damage

Rain, hail, and snow can directly fall into the flue, leading to firebox damage, cracked crown, and liner deterioration that could require extensive repair. The standing water in the chimney can also promote mold and mildew growth, a potential health hazard.

Animal Intrusions

Birds, bats, squirrels, raccoons, and even snakes often find an uncapped chimney an ideal nesting spot. These critters can create blockages, introduce unpleasant odors, attract rodents, and even perish, leading to serious health hazards and fire risks.

Debris Buildup

Leaves, twigs, and other outdoor debris can be blown across the roof and into the flue, creating dangerous blockages that impede proper airflow and increase the risk of chimney and house fires.

Downdrafts

Strong winds can create downdrafts, pushing smoke and harmful carbon monoxide gas back into your living space, compromising indoor air quality and posing a health risk.

Types of Chimney Caps

Master Services offers high-quality chimney caps in many aesthetically pleasing designs to protect your chimney while enhancing its appearance. Whether you need a basic flue cover, an off-the-shelf chimney cap, a chase cover, or a premium custom cap tailored exclusively for your chimney, our certified professionals will help you select the best choice for your home and budget.

Chimney Cap

A chimney cap is an excellent option for protecting single or multiple flues on a chimney from the elements, especially in homes with both a fireplace and a furnace sharing the same masonry chimney. It provides enhanced protection for the top of the chimney instead of simply covering the exposed flue pipe.

Custom Chimney Caps

Custom-fabricated full-width caps are an ideal solution for chimneys with unique dimensions or for homeowners seeking enhanced protection. Made from high-quality steel, these caps are measured to fit the entire width of your chimney, offering protection to both the brick and mortar and the vulnerable crown. We craft our custom caps using premium 24-gauge Kynar 500 steel, which we can paint nearly any color to match your home's exterior. Additionally, they come with a transferable lifetime warranty. Options for stainless steel and copper caps are also available.

Flue Cover

A flue cover caps a single flue opening, preventing rain and debris from entering while keeping out animals. However, the crown remains exposed, making it vulnerable to cracking from the elements.

Chase Covers

A chase cover acts as the roof of the chase, sealing off the top and allowing the flue pipe to pass through. It is primarily used for prefabricated or factory-built chimneys (which often have a wood-framed chase). A chimney cap is also attached to provide complete protection. Older chase covers can rust and lead to significant water leaks.
