For this chimney maintenance project, we installed two black 9″x9″ stainless steel chimney caps on the existing terra cotta flues. These heavy-duty caps not only provide long-term protection from rain and debris but also feature built-in animal deterrents to prevent critters from nesting inside the flues.

To complete the job, we installed a brand new Type S mortar crown—carefully shaped to direct water away from the chimney and reduce the risk of cracks or deterioration over time. We also performed patch pointing where needed to reinforce weakened mortar joints and extend the life of the masonry.

This project ensures both safety and durability, giving the chimney a solid defense against weather, animals, and future wear.
