Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. of Orlando Is Hunters Creek’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

We’ve been driving to Hunters Creek since the first subdivisions were finishing out in the early 1990s. Back then we were installing original caps on new prefab units in homes off Town Loop Boulevard and Black Lake Road. Today we’re replacing those same caps after three decades of Florida humidity and acidic rainfall have eaten through the galvanized steel.

Our technicians carry the common chase cover sizes and crown coating materials that fit Hunters Creek’s standardized prefab systems, so most jobs finish in a single visit. Every repair comes with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict, plus our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing.

Hunters Creek homeowners call us because we understand the ARB process. We’ve helped customers on Bridgewater Loop, Town Loop, and throughout the Villages of Hunters Creek submit manufacturer spec sheets and finish samples that satisfy community standards the first time. We’ll be there when we say.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Hunters Creek

Cap Installation

New prefab units in Hunters Creek need proper caps from day one, but many of the original 1990s installations were built with minimal galvanized covers that weren’t meant to last 30 years. We install professional-grade caps from Famco and Copperfield sized precisely to your flue diameter and chase top dimensions. Because Hunters Creek’s stucco-clad wood-frame chases sit exposed to UV and driving rain, a correctly fitted cap with proper overhang and drip edge matters more here than in climates where chimneys dry out between storms.

Cap Replacement

This is our most frequent call in Hunters Creek. The original galvanized chase covers have rusted through, often leaving pinholes that let water soak the OSB chase walls for years before any interior stain appears. We replaced a rusted galvanized chase cover on a prefab unit in a townhome on Bridgewater Loop. The old cap had corroded from Florida humidity, allowing water to soak the OSB chase. We installed a custom copper cap (Copperfield brand) that matched the community’s approved bronze-tone palette, and sealed the chase top with HeatShield coating to prevent rot. Most cap replacements in Hunters Creek run $340-$620, depending on chase top size and whether the wood framing needs repair.

Crown Repair

On masonry chimneys, the crown is the concrete top that sheds water. Hunters Creek’s prefab systems don’t have traditional crowns, but the chase tops and termination caps serve the same function. When the factory seal fails or the chase cover rusts, water penetrates the chase and rots the framing. We repair chase tops by replacing deteriorated wood, re-flashing to the stucco, and installing a new cap with proper clearances. Done right, and we stand behind it.

Crown Coating

For stucco chases with intact structure but peeling or cracked surface seals, we apply HeatShield crown coating formulated for Florida’s UV and moisture cycle. This matters in Hunters Creek because ARB violation letters often cite deteriorating exterior finishes as grounds for compliance action. Our coating matches approved stucco textures and can be tinted to stay within community color standards. Crown coating in Hunters Creek typically runs $280-$450, a fraction of chase rebuild cost if water damage progresses unchecked.

Custom Cap

Standard sizes don’t always fit the multi-flue chases or unusual chase top configurations found in some Hunters Creek townhome clusters. We fabricate custom caps from copper and stainless steel through our Copperfield and Famco supply lines, measured on-site and built to ARB-compatible profiles. Custom work runs $580-$890 depending on metal choice and complexity.

Multi-Flue Cap

Some larger Hunters Creek homes, particularly in the estate sections near Black Lake Road, have dual-flue prefab systems serving both a fireplace and a furnace or water heater. Single caps won’t seal these properly. We install multi-flue caps with screened compartments that keep animals out while maintaining draft for each appliance.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hunters Creek

We stock parts from Famco, Copperfield, and HeatShield because these are the brands that hold up in Central Florida’s climate. Famco’s stainless chase covers resist the acidic rainfall that destroyed the original galvanized units. Copperfield’s copper caps develop the bronze patina that blends with Hunters Creek’s approved exterior palette. HeatShield’s crown coating flexes with temperature swings and bonds to stucco in high humidity. We keep common Hunters Creek sizes on our trucks, so we’re not ordering parts and making you wait. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Hunters Creek Homes

• Galvanized chase covers rust through from acidic rainfall and humidity, letting water rot the wood chase framing before homeowners notice. By the time you smell mildew or see ceiling staining near the chase, the OSB sheathing is often compromised and the prefab unit’s top must be resealed or the whole chase re-wrapped.
• Cracked or missing caps on prefab flues allow chimney swifts and raccoons to nest inside the chase, requiring animal removal before resealing. Central Florida’s mild winters mean animals occupy chimneys year-round, and a cap with damaged or missing screening invites infestation during the months when your flue sits idle and damp.
• Original crown coatings on stucco chases peel from UV and moisture exposure, leading to ARB violation letters if not replaced with approved matching finishes. Hunters Creek’s HOA-governed streetscapes enforce consistent exterior appearance, and a chalked or flaking chase top stands out against maintained neighbors.
• Improperly installed replacement caps from non-specialist contractors fail to maintain manufacturer clearances, creating fire hazards and voiding prefab unit warranties. We see this on homes where a handyman sealed the chase top with roofing tar and a generic cap, blocking combustion air and trapping heat against the stucco.
