"This is the third time I've hired Chief Roofing. As previously, the crew was punctual and professional and completed the work in a timely manner. In addition they cleaned my gutters and removed the debris, leaving everything as they had found it. I highly recommend this company!"

"Consolidated Roofing Systems is simply the best. From Fred and Billy and the entire crew, customer service really impressed me. I haven't seen that kind of customer service for a very long time. The workmanship is superb from start to finish. The product is definitely top of the line. I'm so glad I found this company and would certainly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for a great job!!"

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

"Provider came out and installed gutter guards. Was very courteous and friendly, but left debris and portions of the cut guard in the yard. He pointed out other unrelated issues with the chimney that we should look at. He said he would have fixed the issues there on the spot if he'd had the right screws. I called the office to get an appointment set up to get the items pointed out taken care of, but never heard back.

"Gemma and Tom, the company's owners, are two fantastic people. They and their crew went above and beyond our expectations as they not only replaced the roof of the house in a timely and professional manner, but also re-roofed the shed at no additional cost, a shed that was in dire need of repairs. When they came to clean the yard, they not only removed debris from the installation, but also racked up all the leaves around the house! On top of everything, they gave us a nice gift to thank us for using their services. If this is not top-notch service, I don't know how else to call it! I would definitely and absolutely recommend them to anyone out there looking for roofing services, and wouldn't think twice about hiring them again in the future."

FAQs for chimney cap service projects in Durham, NC

Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.

A chimney cap costs about $300 on average. The prices range from about $75 to $1,000, depending on the material, size, any repairs needed, and if your chimney cap requires custom fabrication. Chimney caps are usually made from galvanized steel, copper, or stainless steel. Additional costs may include hiring a chimney sweep to clean the chimney before a cap is installed. 

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

  • Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris

  • Help prevent chimney fires

  • Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture

  • Maintain your chimney flue liner

  • Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature

Typically, a chimney cap will last from three to 25 years. This wide range is due to variables like climate, the material the cap is made from, and how often you use your fireplace. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your chimney cap.

The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.
