Despite its modest size, the chimney cap performs an absolutely vital function: it acts as the primary barrier against rain, snow, birds, squirrels, and errant embers entering your flue. An absent or compromised cap is the single most frequent cause of both chimney water damage and animal infestations in Eastside homes. We precisely measure your flue opening to install a robust, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel cap – available for single or multi-flue systems – complete with animal-guard mesh and durable hardware specifically engineered to withstand Redmond's challenging Pacific Northwest weather conditions.
Redmond's vigorous winds and persistent rains, especially near its waterways, necessitate a meticulously sealed, corrosion-resistant cap. This makes it an indispensable component for protecting waterfront chimneys against the elements.

Why it matters
An exposed flue essentially rolls out the welcome mat for rain, snow, birds, and squirrels, while also providing an unimpeded escape route for hot embers onto your roof. Water intrusion into an uncapped flue leads to rusted dampers, saturated masonry, and a dramatically shortened liner lifespan. Meanwhile, nesting animals can create dangerous blockages, forcing poisonous carbon monoxide to back up into your home. A properly installed chimney cap, complete with a spark-arrestor screen, effectively mitigates all these risks in one comprehensive solution.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a free inspection:
See the difference
Before: a flue open to the sky — rain, snow, leaves and nesting animals all have direct entry. After: a stainless cap with spark-arrestor mesh, fitted to the flue dimensions. Water down an open flue is the single biggest driver of interior chimney decay; the cap eliminates that input for a fraction of the cost of the damage it prevents.
An open flue closed off with a fitted stainless cap — rain and animals out, draft intact.
Representative example of a typical chimney cap installation — not a specific customer job. We add photos of our own completed the Eastside projects as we finish them.
A frequent find on the Sammamish plateau: an open, capless flue on a wooded lot near Pine Lake, with water staining in the firebox and evidence of nesting in the top. An open flue is an unmonitored intake for rain and animals. The fix takes one visit — measure the flue, fit a stainless cap with spark-arrestor mesh, photograph the install. A small component that closes off the largest single input of chimney damage.
