Chimney & Fireplace Services in Palos Verdes Estates

Here it can. Caps range from plain stainless boxes to copper and decorative shrouds, and where exterior appearance is reviewed, changing the style changes the appearance. Functionally, the cap has to cover the flue, carry mesh that keeps animals out and embers in, and be made of a metal that tolerates salt air; galvanized steel is the weakest choice on an exposed ridge. Settling on one that meets both needs is easier before ordering than after.

Often both, which is why it wants one plan rather than two. Cracked tiles around a stack let water reach the flashing and the underlayment, and flashing work on a tile roof means lifting those tiles anyway. If roofing and chimney work are both needed, sequencing them so the tiles are disturbed only once means fewer broken tiles and fewer mismatched replacements.
