Chimney Cap Replacement for Masonry & Prefab Chimneys
At National Chimney Service, we provide chimney cap replacement services for both masonry and metal prefabricated chimneys for residents throughout the metro Atlanta area. Each type of chimney has unique needs when replacing worn or damaged chimney caps.
Masonry Chimney Cap Replacement
For masonry chimneys, we provide full custom chimney cap fabrication and installation. Masonry caps sit at the top of the chimney crown and are exposed to harsh weather conditions. Over time, they can crack, shift, and allow water infiltration.
Our masonry chimney cap replacement service involves the following:
-Full inspection of your existing chimney cap to assess damage
-Custom measurement and fabrication of a new chimney cap
-Installation of the new chimney cap using high-quality materials and proper flashing techniques
Benefits of masonry chimney cap replacement:
- Prevents moisture damage to masonry chimney
- Restores proper draft for better performance
- Deters birds and pests from entering
- Improves safety by replacing loose or cracked caps
- Extends the life of the entire chimney
Prefabricated Metal Chimney Pan and Shroud Replacement
For prefabricated metal chimneys, we provide replacement of the chimney pan flashing and top chimney shroud. The pan and shroud are essential components that commonly fail over time. We can install a chimney chase pan, but we recommend the pan and chimney shroud combo for the ultimate protection against the elements and to enhance your home’s aesthetics.
Our metal chimney pan & shroud replacements involve:
-Assessment of pan and shroud condition
-Custom fabrication of new components
-Proper installation of new pan flashing and shroud
-Sealing gaps and joints for improved function

Additional Masonry Chimney Cap Services
Determining if your chimney cap needs to be replaced can be assessed by looking for a few key indications. For example, if you notice rust, corrosion, holes, or missing sections in the cap, it likely means water and weather have damaged the materials, so they need to be switched out.
Similarly, caps that have cracks, defective screening, loose fittings, deteriorating mortar, or issues with downdrafts and cold air infiltration have components that have exceeded their lifespan and require replacement. Other signs are more about regular maintenance – if your chimney cap is over 10-15 years old or just looks dirty and unattractive, replacing it can restore function and aesthetics.
If you notice any combination of these issues with your chimney cap, it’s a sign replacement will be needed to protect your chimney and home.
