Chimney Cap & Damper Installation in Oakville
A missing cap lets rain, snow and squirrels straight into your flue, and a failed damper leaves a permanent open window in your roof. Both are inexpensive fixes that prevent thousands in water and animal damage.

Every chimney cap & damper installation includes
- Lifetime-warranty stainless steel single and multi-flue caps
- Custom-fabricated covers for oversized or unusual crowns
- Animal-guard mesh sized to code
- Top-sealing damper installation with silicone gasket
