Chimney Cap & Crown Repair Cost
Cap: $150–$700 installed. Crown seal: $225–$600. Crown rebuild: $800–$2,500.
The cap and crown are the two most important weather barriers on your chimney. A missing cap lets rain, snow, and animals into the flue; a cracked crown lets water soak into the masonry and destroy it from the inside. Here's what US homeowners paid to fix each in 2026.
These ranges reflect typical US 2026 pricing. Your exact price is confirmed after a free on-site or camera inspection — we never charge for guessed damage.
