Upgrade your chimney’s performance and appearance with handcrafted copper chimney cap covers. Installed by Chicagoland Fireplace & Chimney Restoration for long-lasting protection and architectural elegance.
Copper Chimney Cap Cover Installations
A copper chimney cap cover is more than a finishing piece—it’s a critical component in safeguarding your chimney system while delivering refined curb appeal. At Chicagoland Fireplace & Chimney Restoration, our custom copper cap covers are fabricated to exact dimensions and installed with precision to protect your chimney from water intrusion, animal invasion, wind-driven debris, and corrosive flue gases. The natural beauty of copper evolves over time, developing a distinguished patina that adds depth to your home’s exterior while maintaining full protective functionality.
Masterful Copper Fabrication & Installation
Each cover starts with heavy-gauge copper, cut, formed, and hand-soldered by experienced metalworkers. Seams are reinforced, edges are folded for strength, and panels are shaped to complement your chimney’s profile and roofline. Our installation team ensures the cap sits flush, downstream from the crown, and secured per code so water is directed clear of masonry and flue tile—not under it. The result: a secure cover that channels rain and snow away from vulnerable brick, mortar, and liner interfaces.
Full-Coverage Protection for Chimney Crown & Flues
Unlike simple flue-mounted hoods, our copper cap covers provide full-top and side protection—shielding the masonry crown, the cap’s edges, and multiple flues (if present). This full coverage dramatically reduces freeze/thaw damage, mortar joint deterioration, and wind-driven moisture infiltration. In Chicagoland’s seasonal extremes, that level of protection extends your chimney system’s life and keeps maintenance costs down.
Enhanced Venting & Wildlife Defense
Proper airflow and draft are essential for safe chimney operation. Our copper covers include built-in screening (typically ¾″ mesh or less) to block birds, squirrels, and debris while allowing unobstructed exhaust of combustion gases. The elevated hood and skirt design promotes airflow even in high winds and combats downdrafting. For homes with multiple flues or complex rooflines, we offer custom multi-flue configurations that maintain performance without sacrificing design integrity.
Low-Maintenance, High-Value Investment
Copper is inherently corrosion-resistant and rust-proof, so there’s no flaking paint or fast-rusting seams to deal with. Over time, copper develops a natural patina that adds character and blends with historic or high-end architecture. Annual inspections by our technicians are all that’s needed to keep your system in top form. Considering the extended lifespan and visual impact, this upgrade delivers strong value for homeowners who prioritize durability and aesthetics.
