Chimney Cap Installation in Northwood Hills tops the flue with a sized stainless cap and spark arrestor, sealing out the water and wildlife an open flue invites.
Sized to the flue, spec’d for the coast
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.

Why chimney cap installation matters in Northwood Hills
A cap is the cheapest part on the chimney and the one that prevents the most expensive problems — rain in the flue, nesting animals, and stray sparks on the roof.
Northwood Hills — Mid-century single-family homes with original masonry chimneys — sits inland of the open coast, so while it is spared the worst of the salt air, the South Florida basics still drive every chimney cap installation: year-round humidity that keeps masonry damp long after rain, and hurricane-season wind that opens crown and flashing gaps overnight. We run the same route across Northwood Hills and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Pine Wood Park and Westgate.
What affects the cost of chimney cap installation in Northwood Hills
Cost depends mostly on flue size and cap material — a single standard flue is a quick, low-cost job, while a multi-flue or custom cap costs more.
