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.

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.
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 Sweep & Cleaning pricing & scope
The most common scope is Inspection + Cleaning at $200, a Level 1 inspection plus a full sweep in one visit.
A standalone Level 1 inspection is $120. Add-ons such as animal or nest removal, dryer vent cleaning, chase-cover cleaning, or cap installation are priced separately and quoted before we do them, so there are no surprises at the end.
What's NOT included in chimney sweep and cleaning
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.
Most Chapel Hill sweep visits are clean and uneventful, and we are glad to tell a Meadowmont homeowner that their lightly used flue can wait another year when that is the honest answer. When a sweep surfaces a cap or chase-top issue, we quote it separately so you can decide on timing and, where the historic district or an HOA has a say, on appearance too.

Triangle team, real local response
Our Triangle office is at 105 Star Street, Raleigh, NC, 27610, about 30 minutes from most Chapel Hill addresses via I-540 or NC-54. When you call (984) 777-8853, 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 Chapel Hill 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.
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 to the moment 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.
