The work behind chimney cap installation in Hobe Sound
On a Hobe Sound job, here is how that breaks down. We size the cap to your exact flue rather than fitting a universal part, and inside the salt-air line we use 316 stainless or copper instead of galvanized, which rusts through in a few years here. Animal mesh and a spark arrestor are built in. This close to Jonathan Dickinson State Park, that means assuming salt-air corrosion on every exposed metal part — cap, flashing, and damper. Most Hobe Sound visits for this finish in a single trip; we say so plainly up front when something turns out to be larger.
