Chimney Cap Replacement in Hopkinton, MA

Master Roof is a local roofing company providing top-notch services such as roof replacement, assessments, repairs, and skylight installations in Hopkinton, MA, and the surrounding areas. For this project, Master Roof replaced the chimney cap of a home in Hopkinton.

Roofing Project Overview

The team at Master Roof received a call from a homeowner in Hopkinton, MA who was concerned that their chimney cap had blown off the top of the chimney and was looking for a replacement.

• The existing cap was found to be stainless steel, though somewhat bent and distorted from being blown off the chimney.
• This left the existing 4 chimney flues – totaling approximately 13 x 43 inches in total – open to the elements and allowing rain and snow to come down the flues. Additionally, the open chimney top was an invitation to birds to build nests, or other creatures to enter the flue.
  

The pros at Master Roof were able to source a new chimney cap and install it on the home:

• The chimney surface was prepped to remove any loose caulk and mortar from the original cap.
• The new cap was attached to the top of the chimney using stainless steel anchors into the existing mortar. Caulk was then added to seal and secure the cap.
  

With the chimney cap properly installed, the Hopkinton homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing their flue system is fully protected.

• Weather Protection Restored: The reattached stainless steel cap prevents rain, snow, and debris from entering the flues, helping preserve the integrity of the chimney and reducing the risk of water damage or interior leaks.
• Pest Prevention: Replacing the cap closed off access to birds and small animals, eliminating the risk of nesting, odors, or dangerous blockages in the flue.
• Long-Term Value: By salvaging and restoring the original stainless steel cap, Master Roof saved the homeowner the cost of a full replacement while delivering a secure, weather-tight solution that will extend the lifespan of the chimney system.

This small repair had a big impact—offering lasting protection and keeping the home safer and more efficient year-round.
