We’ve inspected over 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and the cap and crown are where we find the most preventable damage in Fort Worth homes. The crown is the concrete slab that seals the top of your chimney stack; the cap sits above it, keeping rain, animals, and embers out of your flue. When either fails, water runs straight into the masonry, freezes during our January cold snaps, and opens cracks that cost ten times more to fix than the original cap would have. In neighborhoods like River Oaks and Haltom City, we’ve pulled squirrel nests from uncapped flues and found crown cracks that had been dripping into attics for two seasons. Our home page explains how the Haven Standard applies to every service we offer.

Level Two Chimney Fort Worth operates under the Haven Standard, which means a camera-scan inspection and documented photo record on every visit, Clause 4, running continuously since 2009. Corrine Halstead leads our operation, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with license information displayed, a named tech assigned, and a text when they’re on the way. We don’t do “call for a quote” - you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone picks up a trowel.

What Our Chimney Cap & Crown Service Includes

Cap Installation

Cap installation is for chimneys that have never had a proper cap, or where a cheap hardware-store model has blown off in a Fort Worth thunderstorm. You need this when you can see straight down your flue from the roof, or when birds, squirrels, or raccoons have found their way in. We measure your flue precisely, fabricate or source a cap from Copperfield or Gelco through our Haven buying network, and secure it with stainless steel fasteners rated for North Texas wind loads. Every installation includes a photo of the sealed flue before we leave, stamped under Clause 4.

Cap Replacement

Cap replacement becomes necessary when the mesh is rusted through, the lid is dented from hail, or the fasteners have corroded and the cap is sitting crooked. In Fort Worth, we see this most often after spring hail events in neighborhoods like Lake Worth and Saginaw, where golf-ball-size impacts crease aluminum lids. We remove the failed cap, inspect the flue opening for hidden water damage, and install a replacement sized to your exact flue dimensions. Your written price covers removal, disposal, new cap, and installation; no add-ons after we start.

Crown Repair

Crown repair addresses cracks, spalling, or deterioration in the concrete slab that tops your chimney. You need this when you can see cracks wider than a credit card edge, when pieces of concrete are flaking off, or when water pools on the crown instead of running off. We chase cracks to sound concrete, fill with flexible crown sealant or polymer-modified mortar depending on severity, and slope the surface for proper drainage. In Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soils, we’ve learned that crown cracks often follow foundation settling patterns; we document this in your photo record so you understand whether the repair is routine or a symptom of larger structural movement.

Crown Coating

Crown coating is a preventive application of flexible, waterproof membrane over a crown that’s structurally sound but showing early surface wear. You need this when the crown has hairline cracking or minor spalling, but hasn’t yet lost structural integrity. We clean the crown surface, apply a bonding agent, and brush or spray a silicone or elastomeric coating rated for freeze-thaw cycling. This buys you years before a full rebuild is necessary, and costs roughly one-third of replacement. We won’t sell you a coating if the crown is too far gone - Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires an honest scope, and we’ll show you the camera footage that explains why.

Multi-Flue Cap

Multi-flue caps cover chimneys with two or more flues exiting the same stack, common in Fort Worth homes with both a fireplace and a furnace or water heater venting together. You need this when individual caps won’t fit the spacing, or when you’re tired of replacing three separate caps every few years. We measure center-to-center flue spacing, height differentials, and overall stack dimensions, then fabricate a single cap from Copperfield or source through our Olympia Chimney supply line. The result is cleaner-looking, more secure in high winds, and easier to inspect during your annual sweep.

Custom Cap

Custom cap fabrication is for non-standard flue shapes, oversized openings, or homeowners who want a specific finish to match their roofline or architectural style. We’ve built custom caps for historic homes in the Mistletoe Heights area, for commercial properties in downtown Fort Worth, and for homeowners who simply want a copper patina or specific mesh size to handle our local oak pollen loads. We take field measurements, produce a sketch for your approval with price attached, and fabricate through our Gelco or Copperfield supply channels. Lead time is typically 10-14 days; your written quote holds the price until installation.

Brands We Service for Chimney Cap & Crown

We source and service caps and crown materials from the manufacturers that professional sweeps trust, not the big-box brands that fail in their third season. We’ve installed hundreds of Copperfield galvanized and stainless caps across Fort Worth, Keller, and Bedford, and we keep their common sizes in stock for same-visit replacement when the job scope allows. Their multi-flue line is our default for dual-flue chimneys because the mounting systems don’t rely on caulk or friction - they mechanically anchor to the crown or flue tile.

DuraFlex and HeatShield materials come into play when crown repair requires reinforcement or when we’re coating a severely weathered surface that needs structural help before the waterproof layer goes on. We’ve used HeatShield’s crown resurfacing system on dozens of Fort Worth chimneys where the concrete was too thin to chase and patch conventionally. Whether you have a Copperfield cap already, a DuraFlex liner system we need to work around, or any other make, we can inspect it, source parts for it, or replace it with something that lasts. Our Haven Standard buying network keeps prices honest by cutting out distributor markups on the brands we use most.

Signs You Need Chimney Cap & Crown Right Now

• Water stains on your fireplace ceiling or walls. This means moisture is entering through a failed crown, missing cap, or deteriorated flashing. In Fort Worth, we see this accelerate rapidly after our spring storm season, when wind-driven rain finds every opening. Left unaddressed, it rots ceiling joists and damages drywall far from the chimney itself.
• Rust flakes in your firebox or on the damper. Rust indicates water is running down the flue, which a proper cap and crown should prevent entirely. The damper is steel; when it rusts, it won’t open fully or seal tightly, and replacement costs more than the cap that would have saved it.
• Animals or nesting debris visible from below. Squirrels, raccoons, and chimney swifts love uncapped flues in Fort Worth’s mature neighborhoods like Forest Hill and Benbrook. A nest is a fire hazard and a carbon monoxide risk if it blocks exhaust flow. We remove the obstruction, install a properly screened cap, and document the flue condition with our camera.
• Spalling or flaking concrete on the crown surface. Spalling means the concrete is freeze-thaw cycling, absorbing water through surface cracks and shedding layers. Fort Worth’s temperature swings - 70°F one day, 28°F the next - are hard on crowns that aren’t sealed. Once the rebar inside starts rusting, the crown is on a countdown to failure.
• Your cap is missing, tilted, or making noise in wind. A cap that’s loose or gone has already failed at its primary job. Wind noise usually means fasteners have backed out or the mounting flange has corroded. We check the flue tile condition beneath before installing the replacement, because a cap on a cracked flue is just hiding the real problem.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Schedule and confirm. Call (682) 499-2712 and you’ll reach a live person, any hour. We book your appointment, send a confirmation with your technician’s name, and text when they’re en route. No voicemail, no web-form black hole.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera scan. Before we quote any cap or crown work, we run our camera down the flue and photograph the crown from the roof. This finds hidden damage - cracked flue tiles, deteriorated mortar joints, water trails - that would make a cap installation pointless without addressing the root cause. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this documentation; we don’t skip it.
3. 3
   Written price, scope, and warranty delivered. We show you the camera footage, explain what we found in plain terms, and hand you a written quote with every line item priced. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: the price you see is the price you pay, with no pressure to decide on the spot. Take the quote, compare it, call us back. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate.
4. 4
   Cap or crown work performed. Our technician completes the agreed scope - whether that’s a standard cap swap, crown crack repair with polymer mortar, or custom fabrication. We use materials from our Haven buying network, and we photograph every stage: before, during, and after. If we find additional damage mid-job, we stop, show you, and get written approval before continuing.
5. 5
   Documentation and Done Right Promise. You receive a photo record of the completed work, a written warranty, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. This is stamped on every job, not offered as an upsell. Your chimney’s condition is now documented for insurance, resale, or your own peace of mind - though we don’t use that phrase.
