"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."

"They came out and did an assessment of my roof and told me that I did not need a total roof replacement at this time.  They said that the pipes in my roof could begin to leak and I could use the coupon to replace all of those and repair my roof tiles from the hurricane.  Since, I had already paid for the coupon I decided to go ahead and let them do the work.  They came out on a Saturday as discussed and did the work.  No complaints.

"Dean was professional. He called a few hours ahead to say that he was running a little late and asked me if I still wanted him to come that day or wanted to reschedule to a different day. When he came, he went about his work in a quiet manner. He showed me pictures of some minor repairs that needed to be done on the siding of the chimney stack but said that he wouldn't be able to do siding and advised me to call a siding person. He said the roof itself was in good shape. He applied sealant at all the possible leak points. Nice professional guy.

"Charles was referred to me when I had difficulty locating a contractor to install a new gas fireplace in my bedroom. Charles framed out and oversaw the installation of the fireplace. He was a complete professional, making improvements, and handling project changes quickly. He and Frank cleaned the work area every evening. In short, he exceeded my expectations."

FAQs for chimney cap service projects in Ames, TX

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.
