Keep rain, animals, and debris out of your chimney. Custom stainless steel and copper chimney caps with lifetime warranty. Installation from $249. Same-week scheduling.
A chimney without a cap is an open invitation for rain, snow, birds, raccoons, squirrels, and leaves to enter your flue. Water damage to flue liners, dampers, and fireboxes is virtually guaranteed without a cap. In Chicago, where rain and snow are constant from October through April, a cap is essential — not optional.
| Material | Cost Installed | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Galvanized steel | $150–$300 | 5–10 years |
| Stainless steel (recommended) | $250–$500 | Lifetime |
| Copper | $400–$700+ | Lifetime |
| Multi-flue / custom | $500–$1,000+ | Varies |
We recommend stainless steel for the best combination of durability, appearance, and value. Most manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on stainless steel caps. Avoid galvanized steel — it rusts within 5-10 years in Chicago weather and you'll pay for installation twice.
