Our Company
Chimney caps may seem insignificant, but their function is essential. These architectural components prevent moisture and debris (and even animals) from entering the flue to preserve the integrity of the fireplace system. Stratus Roofing offers chimney cap solutions that deliver superior performance and aesthetics, tailored to complement high-end homes across Utah.
Rain and snow are among the most common threats to chimney structures. Without a cap, moisture can enter the flue and soak into the chimney’s masonry and metal components. Over time, this leads to deterioration, rust, interior staining, and even structural cracking during freeze-thaw cycles. A properly installed chimney cap acts as a shield that preserves both the chimney and the surrounding roofing materials.
Chimneys offer warmth and shelter, making them ideal nesting sites for birds, squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife. Once inside, animals can cause blockages by leaving behind debris or waste. In some cases, these can create health hazards. Chimney caps with integrated mesh guards provide a humane barrier, preventing animals from coming in while allowing smoke to exit freely.
An open chimney can release sparks or embers that drift onto the roof, which is a serious fire hazard in areas prone to dry conditions or high winds. Caps equipped with spark arrestors mitigate this risk, containing stray embers before they can reach flammable roofing materials or surrounding vegetation.
Each project begins with an on-site consultation. Our specialists assess chimney height, flue type, roof pitch, and surrounding materials to determine compatibility with different types of caps. Precise measurements are taken to guarantee a custom fit that blends with the existing architecture.
We present a curated selection of premium materials designed to withstand Utah’s dramatic seasonal shifts. Clients may also select finishes that complement their roofing system or match other architectural metals on the property.
Our chimney caps are not mass-produced. Each one is individually crafted by skilled fabricators using advanced cutting and forming techniques. Whether the design requires a multi-flue cover, decorative skirt, or integrated spark guard, the result is watertight and engineered to last.
Our installers follow strict alignment and anchoring protocols to make sure our chimney caps offer maximum weather resistance. Every fastener and seam is carefully sealed to prevent rust or corrosion, even under high winds or heavy snowfall.
We complete every project with a thorough inspection to confirm cap stability and flue clearance. Clients receive documentation and care instructions to support long-term protection and visual appeal.
Not always. Many new homes do not include a chimney cap unless specifically requested or required by code. We evaluate each roof system and recommend a solution based on your home’s needs.
Yes. A well-designed chimney cap can help regulate airflow and reduce drafts, as well as prevent obstructions. All of this supports more efficient combustion and heating from your fireplace system.
Most chimney caps can be installed in less than a day. For complex or multi-flue systems, we’ll provide a clear timeline during your estimate.
