We replaced the damaged cap assembly shown below with a full-coverage chimney cap. These before-and-after photos show the change at the chimney top.
Before: bent mesh and a displaced cover
The first photograph looks down over the chimney top. The cap mesh is bent away from its original shape, and a black cover is displaced beside the flue openings. The clay flues and surrounding brickwork are visible beneath the damaged assembly.
After: the replacement cap in place
A new black full-coverage cap is now in place over the chimney top. The completed view shows its broad lid and screened sides above the brickwork.
Planning a cap replacement at your property
When requesting chimney-cap service, describe what you have noticed and share any existing photos. Useful details include a missing or visibly displaced cover, damaged screening and when you first noticed the concern. Your town and property ZIP code help us plan the visit.
PB Chimney Services offers chimney-cap installation and replacement across its New Jersey service area. The proposed cap and repair scope depend on the chimney assessed at the property. Call (862) 587-2214 or use the service-request form below to discuss the concern. Appointment requests are subject to confirmation.
What to remember
- Before: visibly bent mesh and a displaced cap cover.
- After: a replacement full-coverage cap over the same chimney.
- The paired photographs document the exterior cap change.
This project summary documents the work described above and the visible exterior conditions in the photographs. A site inspection, appliance information and local requirements determine the appropriate scope for a specific chimney.
