Chimney Cap Installation and Repair 

Chimney Cap Installation and Repair Service

For the safe and smooth operation of the chimney, a chimney cap is very essential. Chimney caps prevent your chimney from getting cluttered with water, debris, snow and thereby prevent the chimney system from damage. Typically made of stainless steel or copper, a chimney cap is placed atop the flue opening and acts as a shield against various harmful elements.

A chimney cap also keeps the spark inside the chimney, preventing the combustible property on your roof from the risk of catching fire in case of a dense flame. At times, a chimney cap can fall into a less functional state and requires significant repair. There are times chimney caps get blocked with twigs, leaves, or any other material.

When your chimney is suffering damage, you need to consult certified chimney technicians and avail their professional chimney cap repair service. In situations, when you see water entering the firebox or a drafting problem in fire, it might be an indication of the urgent need for chimney cap repair.

"Had a great experience with A Step in Time Maryland, LLC. The owner came out on a weekend to evaluate our fireplace and provided us a fair estimate. He was direct and very comprehensive. The repairmen came out the next week and went above and beyond their duties. They even color-matched the inside of our fireplace! He guaranteed us 25 years to a lifetime warranty on all of our repairs. We thank you for keeping our home safe for years to come."

"A Step In Time Maryland, LLC is the only sweep I’ll ever use. They will inspect and advise on repairs without using pressure. Check around with other sweeps and compare their prices and be sure to understand the materials being used. They inspected mine and advised on repairs...others could not compare to the stainless steel material and their price. You will end up with A Step In Time Maryland, LLC!"

Tom S.
