What a Palm Beach chimney cap installation actually includes
On Palm Beach 33480 homes, the job runs like this. 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.
