Chimney Cap Sales and Installation
The Added Protection Your Chimney Needs.
A chimney cap is a metal cover that goes over your chimney to help keep the structure safe. It serves multiple purposes which are:
1.
It prevents escaping sparks and embers from starting a fire on your roof or other nearby flammable structures.
2.
It keeps animals outside of your chimney. If there is nothing covering the top of your chimney, it is easy for birds, squirrels, and other animals to get in and nest. In some cases, animals can even get inside of your home.
3.
It keeps out leaves, branches, and other debris from getting inside your chimney.
4.
Finally, it keeps rainwater out. Rainwater in the chimney can mix with the acids found in soot which can cause cracks and other damage to the chimney interior.
Get A Custom-Built Chimney Cap
When rainwater enters your chimney, it can mix with the acids found in soot and cause cracks and other damage to the chimney’s interior. We can help prevent this damage with a cap that’s custom-built to fit your chimney perfectly.

Chimney Masonry Repair
Get Your Chimney’s Masonry Fixed Right The First Time.
The stone or brick that’s part of your chimney is exposed to high temperatures, which makes it much different from traditional masonry. If you’re trying to fix a chimney, you’ll need to use special products, mortar mixes, and techniques that ensure the work holds up to that high heat.
If you’re looking for professionals who understand everything involved with your chimney’s masonry, choose Max the Chimney Sweep. With over 40 years of experience, we will make sure your chimney’s deteriorating masonry is fixed right the first time!

Is your home’s existing chimney liner not up to code? Has it started to deteriorate? No matter what issue you’re having, Max the Chimney Sweep has you covered.
Our experienced team will revitalize and repair your chimney by installing a UL-listed stainless-steel liner. This liner will ensure the smoke can’t escape from gaps, cracks, or defects and only go where it should go – outside your home.
By adding a new liner, you’ll be protecting the safety of your home and family and providing a nice boost to the resale value of your residence!
