Shipping
Large caps ship via LTL freight in a custom-built, heat-treated wood crate, fully insured. I need your exact dimensions, address type (residential or commercial), and zip code before you order. Call or text (text is best) (609) 352-9840 to receive a custom freight quote. LTL freight means your order will arrive on a full-size tractor-trailer. The driver will bring the crate to the back of the truck with liftgate service — curbside delivery. You are responsible for getting it up your driveway from there. Delivery add-ons are available if needed. If your property can't accommodate a full-size freight truck or you don't have help moving the crate from the curb, I can arrange delivery add-ons for the freight company to move the crate to a designated area on or inside your property. Terminal pickup and smaller delivery vehicle options are also available. This way it arrives the way it left my shop — in perfect condition.

Not Sure About Your Dimensions?
Don't guess. Check my free measuring guide → or text a photo of your chimney to (609) 352-9840. I'll confirm your dimensions before I cut a single piece of metal.
Lead Time
Each cap is made to order. Current lead time is 3–4 weeks from the time your dimensions are confirmed. Rush timelines considered — contact me with your needs.
Have a Wood-Framed Chase?
If your chimney sits on a prefab wood-framed chase, you might need a chase cover in addition to this cap. The cap mounts on top of the chase cover — it does not have a flat bottom with pre-cut holes for your flue pipe(s). If there's currently no metal cover on your chase, you need both.
