Chimney Cap Installation in Colorado

Caps that keep out rain, snow, animals and debris while letting smoke exit freely.

On the job

Overview

A chimney cap is a small component that does a big job: it keeps rain, snow, animals and debris out of your flue while still letting smoke exit freely. A missing or damaged cap is one of the most common — and most preventable — causes of chimney water damage and animal intrusion.

Saturn Chimney & Fireplace installs and replaces chimney caps across Colorado's Front Range, sized and fitted for your flue.

Colorado considerations

Front Range wind and hail are tough on caps and covers — they dent, loosen and corrode over time. And an uncapped flue invites the exact water and animal problems that lead to bigger repairs, so a good cap is one of the best-value protections for a Colorado chimney.

Frequently asked questions

Almost always, yes. A cap keeps water, animals and debris out and is inexpensive compared with the damage it prevents.

A properly fitted cap with intact mesh is the standard way to keep birds, squirrels and other animals out of the flue.

A cap fits over the flue opening; a chase cover is the larger top that covers a framed chase around a factory-built chimney. Some homes need both.
