Chimney Cap Installation in Asheboro, NC — 200+ Five-Star Reviews
A cap is a small part carrying an outsized job, and in Asheboro what it needs to be depends on where the house sits. On a downtown historic flue, it is usually a custom copper or steel top built to a non-standard century-old chimney; out on the wooded county edges, it is a chase cover on a prefab, often with a heavier animal-exclusion mesh because the tree line is close. Perfect Chimney Cleaning is based in the Triad office in Greensboro, 30 to 35 minutes north on US-220 and I-73.
The downtown flues are the ones that rarely take a stock part. A century-old county-seat chimney runs to no standard size, sometimes with more than one flue under a single crown and no modern collar to grab, so the honest answer is a top fabricated to the chimney. Because the same owner-run crew makes the Asheboro drive and runs its own trucks, the cap we specify is the one that fits the flue and the setting, not whatever a subcontractor could grab quickest.

First-ever Level 1 or 2 inspection, sweep, flashing repair, customer education on proper fireplace operation.
Brick chimneys with original clay-tile liners around the old Wake Forest College campus and the Glen Royall cotton-mill houses. These get a gentler sweep to protect century-old tile, and the visual check relies on the condition of the crown, mortar, and liner. Homes here are more likely to burn regularly, so creosote is real and the cadence is closer to annual.
What a cap needs in Asheboro comes down to whether it tops a downtown historic flue or a county-edge prefab. Here is the split.
Era 1 · Downtown historic district (custom work)
The open or under-capped brick flues of the old county seat, off-standard in size and now and then sharing a single crown. Each wants a copper or steel cap fabricated to the chimney, sized to sit on aged brick and to guard the clay liner beneath.
Era 2 · Mid-century textile and furniture housing (mixed)
The mill-worker blocks, masonry flues that want a custom or oversized cap alongside prefab units whose factory caps and chase tops have rusted through and need a proper top.
Era 3 · 1990s and newer subdivisions (chase covers)
The county-edge developments, where a corroded builder-grade chase cover gives way to a sloped, durable one cut to the flue, often with sturdier mesh where the surrounding woods keep wildlife at the roof.
| Step | What we do | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
|
Measure on site
|
We take exact dimensions in person, because a chase cover cut a little off, or a shelf cap that only nearly matches a historic flue, will not hold; the measuring is the bulk of the work. | On the visit |
|
Settle the material
|
We specify the right top for the flue, custom-fabricated copper or steel on a downtown chimney, a cut chase cover on a subdivision prefab, and where the woods press in, a heavier animal mesh. | On the visit |
|
Quote to the flue
|
A written estimate inside 48 hours for the exact cap or chase cover, sized, sloped, and specified to your chimney. | Within 48 hrs |
|
Fit and seal it
|
Seated on the flue and sealed against water, animals, and embers, whether it tops downtown brick or a county-edge chase. | As scheduled |
|
Photograph the seal
|
A last look with photographs of the cap seated and the flue closed, kept for your record. | On completion |
Cap work in Asheboro is custom tops on the downtown historic flues, and chase covers on the county-edge subdivisions, with an animal-exclusion mesh where the woods are close. Scope, price, and limits below.
A visual inspection during the sweep, focused on chase top, cap, crown, flue access, damper, and visible refractory. On historic Franklin Street and Westwood chimneys, the emphasis shifts to crown, mortar, and clay-tile condition. Photographs of anything worth watching. Included in the Inspection + Cleaning combo.

What chimney cap installation covers in Asheboro
Custom caps for historic flues
On the downtown flues, a copper or steel top made to an off-standard, sometimes shared chimney, sized to seat on aged brick and cover the clay liner under it.
Chase covers for county-edge prefabs
In the outer subdivisions, a rusted builder-grade pan gives way to a properly sized, sloped cover in a durable metal, cut to the flue.
Animal exclusion for the wooded edges
Where a house backs to the Uwharrie-country tree line, a heavier mesh made to keep determined climbers out, matched to the cap so the flue stays closed to wildlife.
A cap that guards the flue
On any chimney, the cap is what meets the weather first, turning rain, leaves, and animals away from a flue and liner that would age faster without it.
Chimney Cap Installation pricing & scope
A cap is quoted only after it is measured, because a fabricated copper top for a downtown flue and a cut chase cover for a county-edge prefab are unlike parts made in unlike ways.
The estimate arrives within 48 hours, and when a subdivision does review the exterior, we sort the allowed finishes before ordering so the cap is made once.
What's NOT included in chimney cap installation
Equally important, here is what the Asheboro chimney cap installation scope does NOT cover. If you need any of these, here is where to find them.
What's NOT included in this scope
- Flashing and leak repair beyond the cap itself, a related but separate scope; see /chimney-leak-repair.
- Animal removal; we fit the cap that keeps the next one out, but clearing a live animal is its own job, see /animal-nest-removal.
- Crown rebuilds and masonry restoration; see the repair and restoration pages.
- Any HOA approval itself; we match the finish and provide documentation, but the association grants it.
In Asheboro, the cap divides by setting: a fabricated custom top on a downtown historic flue, a cut chase cover on a county-edge prefab, and a heavier mesh where the woods are close. We measure it right, build or cut it to the flue, and seal it so water and animals stay out of the chimney.

Triangle team, real local response
Our Triad office is at 317 South Westgate Drive, Suite E, Greensboro, NC, 27407, 30 to 35 minutes from most Asheboro addresses via US-220 and I-73. When you call (336) 604-6711, the team that answers is the team that works your job. There is no regional call center in the middle and no local subcontractor we hand you off to, so the person who books your Asheboro visit is accountable for how it goes.
CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep #12553
Our CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep credential is #12553, and you can verify any technician's certification directly at csia.org. Plenty of Asheboro chimney companies claim certification on their websites, but only businesses certified by CSIA appear in its national directory. Ask any company you are weighing for their CSIA number, and if the answer is vague, you have learned something useful.
Fully insured, to the dollar amounts that matter
General liability runs through Spinnaker ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate) and workers' comp through AM Trust ($100K per accident, $500K aggregate). The certificate is available on request. For any rooftop trade, this is not optional, and in Asheboro, the larger HOAs and any local historic-district review may ask to see it before work begins.
If the animal in your flue is a protected chimney swift during nesting season, we will tell you plainly that federal law does not allow us to disturb an active nest, and we will set a plan to cap the flue once the young have fledged.
If a squirrel got in through a worn cap, we will show you the entry point on camera, because replacing the cap is what actually stops it from happening again.
If the animal is in your attic or walls rather than the chimney, we will tell you that it is wildlife control and not something we would bill you to chase down the flue.
If your Wakefield or Traditions prefab is lit a few nights a winter, we will put you on a realistic 2-to-3-year cadence and not sell you a visit you do not need every year.
If the creosote is coming from how the fireplace is being run, we will show you the pattern on camera and walk you through the operating change, because that addresses the cause without more work.
If a downtown or Glen Royall clay liner just needs cleaning, we clean it and leave it, rather than talk you into relining a sound century-old flue.
Things we'll tell you that other companies might not
If a downtown flue sits open, a cap is often the first thing we recommend, since an uncapped chimney is where much of the liner and masonry damage we later repair first takes hold.
If a subdivision chase cover has simply rusted, that is a plain swap, and we say so; the fabricated copper work is for the historic flues that genuinely need it.
If the woods around a county-edge home keep sending animals to the roof, we fit a heavier mesh with the cap, because a top that looks right but lets a raccoon back in has not done its job.
Here is the actual sequence, from the moment you call until the truck leaves and your chimney is documented. No mystery, no runaround.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our downtown flue has never had a proper cap. Is that a problem?
Usually yes. Left open, a century-old county-seat flue takes rain, leaves, and animals straight into a chimney already old, wearing the brick and shortening the clay liner. The right cap is a small piece that saves the flue from a good deal of the masonry and liner damage we would otherwise be called back for.
Why does a downtown chimney need a custom cap?
Because a flue that old seldom lands on a standard size, and one crown sometimes carries more than one flue, so a stock shelf cap has nothing solid to sit on. A copper or steel top built to your own chimney is the one that seats on the old brick and shields the liner below.
We back up to the woods on the county edge. Will a cap keep animals out?
That is much of the point of the right one. A correctly fitted cap closes the flue to squirrels, raccoons, and nesting birds, and where the tree line is close, we add a stouter mesh made to keep determined climbers out, so the flue stays closed to them.
Our subdivision chase cover is rusting. Same job as a custom cap?
Different part, simpler job. The corroded prefab pan lifts off, and a sloped, durable cover cut to the flue goes on in its place. Where a downtown cap is fabricated to the chimney, this one is cut to size, but the aim, keeping water off the flue, holds either way.
