Stop Animals, Rain, and Downdrafts for Good Chimney Caps From $249

“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.”

“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.”

“Missing cap meant rain and leaves had been falling straight into the flue for who knows how long. Franklin installed a quality stainless cap with mesh and now the chimney stays clean and dry. Quick, fairly priced, and the tech was great.”

“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.”

“Cold air poured in through the fireplace even with the damper closed — the old cast iron one had warped and wouldn't seal. Franklin installed a top-mount damper with a rubber gasket and I noticed the difference on my heating bill within a month.”

“Wind kept blowing down the chimney and pushing smoke back into the house. Franklin installed a wind-directional cap that solved it completely. No more smoke alarms going off when it's gusty outside. Total game changer for actually using the fireplace.”

“Birds and debris kept getting in and we were tired of cleaning it out. Franklin installed a heavy-gauge cap with screening and it's kept everything out for over a year now. Also cut down the downdrafts on windy days. Simple fix, big improvement.”

“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 nested in our flue and we'd hear chirping for weeks. Cute until you realize what it does to the chimney. Franklin installed a cap with proper mesh and it's been silent since — it also stopped the downdrafts we used to get.”

“Rain had been getting into the flue and rusting the damper. Franklin installed a new stainless cap and replaced the damper in the same visit. No more water intrusion and the fireplace seals properly now. Efficient crew, fair price, clean work.”

“Downdrafts were blowing smoke into our condo every time we lit a fire. Franklin assessed the roofline, installed a wind-resistant cap, and the problem vanished. Professional, prompt, and they cleaned up after themselves. Fireplace is finally usable.”

“Squirrels kept getting into the chimney and one made it into the house. That was the last straw. Franklin installed a heavy-duty cap with a spark arrestor screen. Over a year now — no wildlife, no rain getting in, no more worrying about it.”

“We have a historic stone house with an oddly shaped chimney opening and two companies said a standard cap wouldn't fit. Franklin fabricated a custom stainless cap that fits perfectly and looks period-appropriate. Worth the wait for custom work.”

“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 needed a cap and a new damper for our suburban home and Franklin handled both in one trip. Custom-fit cap, top-sealing damper, and a clear explanation of how each one helps. Heating bill is already down. Couldn't have asked for better service.”

“Constant downdraft made the fireplace unusable — the flue was fine, it was the wind patterns around our roofline. Franklin installed a taller cap with a wind guard designed for our setup. We've had a fire every weekend this winter with zero blowback.”

“Our 1700s building has an unusual rectangular opening that nobody wanted to deal with. Franklin measured it and had a custom stainless cap fabricated. Fits perfectly, looks right for the period, and carries a lifetime warranty. Exceptional.”

“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.”

“Scratching sounds in the chimney at night turned out to be raccoons. After the wildlife guy removed them, Franklin installed a heavy-gauge stainless cap with mesh. Six months and no visitors. The cap keeps rain and debris out too. Should've done it sooner.”

“Our damper was rusted open and we could feel the draft from across the room. Franklin replaced it with a top-sealing damper that closes tight. The house holds heat so much better now and the install only took a couple hours. Highly recommend.”

“Replaced our old throat damper with a top-sealing one and the difference on the heating bill was immediate. We were basically heating the outdoors before. The new damper seals with a gasket and opens by cable — simple and effective. Great install.”

“Our chimney cap had blown off in a windstorm and we didn't notice until water stains appeared inside. Franklin installed a heavy stainless cap bolted down securely and sealed up the entry point. Solid work, fair price, and great communication throughout.”
