Why Philadelphia Homeowners Can’t Afford to Wait

An uncapped chimney is an open invitation for raccoons, birds, rain, and downdrafts. Animals nesting in your flue create blockages that cause dangerous CO backup. Water entry accelerates mortar deterioration and rust. A quality chimney cap is the most cost-effective way to prevent these problems — it typically pays for itself within the first year by preventing damage.

73%

Of Animal Entries Are Preventable

Raccoons, birds, and squirrels nest in uncapped flues, creating dangerous CO blockages. A cap stops them completely.

100%

Rain & Downdraft Protection

An uncapped chimney lets gallons of water pour in every storm, accelerating rust and mortar damage.

Lifetime

Stainless Steel Warranty

Our stainless steel caps never rust or degrade. One installation, permanent protection.

Every week you wait, the damage gets worse — and the repair gets more expensive.

We kept hearing scratching sounds in the chimney at night. Raccoons. Franklin installed a heavy-gauge stainless steel cap with mesh screening after the wildlife guy removed the family. Six months now and no more visitors. The cap keeps rain and debris out too — should've done this years ago.

Every spring, birds would nest in our chimney and we'd hear chirping for weeks. Kind of cute until you realize what it does to your flue. Franklin installed a cap with proper mesh and it's been silent ever since. The cap also stopped the downdrafts we were getting on windy days.

Wind would blow down the chimney and push smoke back into the house every time we had a fire. Franklin installed a wind-directional cap that solved the problem completely. No more smoke alarms going off when the wind picks up. Game changer.

Our building is from 1795 and the chimney opening is an unusual rectangle. Two companies said they'd have to modify the masonry to fit a standard cap. Franklin measured it and had a custom cap fabricated in stainless steel. Fits perfectly, looks period-appropriate, and carries a lifetime warranty.

Replaced our old throat damper with a top-sealing one. The difference in our heating bill was immediate — we were basically heating the neighborhood through the open chimney before. The new damper seals with a gasket and opens with a cable. Simple and effective.

Squirrels kept getting into the chimney and once one got into the house. That was enough. Franklin installed a heavy-duty cap with a spark arrestor screen. It's been over a year — no more wildlife, no more rain getting in, no more worrying about it.

Constant downdraft was ruining our ability to enjoy the fireplace. The flue was fine — it was just the wind patterns around our roofline. Franklin installed a taller cap with a wind guard designed for our specific situation. We've had a fire going every weekend this winter with zero blowback.

Cold air was literally pouring in through the fireplace even with the damper closed. Turns out the cast iron damper had warped from years of heat and wouldn't seal anymore. They installed a top-mount damper with a rubber gasket. I noticed the difference on my heating bill within a month.

We have a historic stone house with an unusual chimney opening. Two other companies told us they couldn't fit a standard cap. Franklin fabricated a custom stainless steel cap that matched the dimensions exactly. Looks great and keeps the rain out. Worth the wait for the custom work.

Had three companies quote me for a chimney cap replacement. These guys were the only ones who actually got on the roof to measure before quoting. Price was fair, install was clean, and they sent before-and-after photos when it was done.

After the nor'easter knocked some bricks loose, I expected to wait weeks for a mason. They were out in two days, matched the existing mortar color perfectly, and even sealed the crown while they were up there. Top-notch craftsmanship.
