Custom Standing Seam Chimney Cap Fabricated and Installed in Washougal Washington

This chimney had a wide, exposed stone top that needed serious protection - and a standard off-the-shelf cap just wasn't going to cut it. When the dimensions or style of a chimney don't match what you can grab at a supply house, that's where custom fabrication comes in.

We built this standing seam style chimney cap from scratch. The vertical seam paneling wraps all the way around the cap body, giving it a clean, structured look that actually matches the character of the home. The black finish ties directly into the dark shingles on the roof. Nothing looks tacked on or out of place.

Beyond the look, the function is what really matters. A properly fitted cap keeps rain, debris, and animals out of the flue. On a chimney like this one - sitting up high with full exposure to the elements - that protection is non-negotiable. Washington weather doesn't go easy on unprotected masonry.

That's the thing about quality sheet metal work. It has to look good and hold up. Sloppy seams, loose fittings, or the wrong gauge material will fail on you. We take the fabrication side of this seriously because a cap that fails means water intrusion, and water intrusion means expensive repairs down the road.

Whether your chimney needs a simple cap replacement or something fully custom like this, the approach is the same - measure carefully, build it right, and install it so it lasts.
