Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Conway
Crown Repair
On lakefront properties along the Conway chain, the moisture-rich microclimate causes chimney crown spalling and efflorescence far more severely than in drier inland Orlando neighborhoods just a few miles west. We’ve rebuilt crowns on homes near Lake Conway where the concrete had deteriorated to gravel after years of humidity cycling through an uncapped flue. Our crown repair uses professional-grade sealants and proper slope geometry to shed water the way the original builder should have. Most crown repairs in Conway run $380-$620 and take three to four hours.
Custom Cap
Conway’s acreage properties and oversized flues on older ranches often need more than a box-store cap. We fabricate and install custom caps in copper and stainless steel, measured to your exact flue dimensions. On a 1960s concrete-block ranch near Lake Conway, we found the original clay tile liner with cracked mortar joints and a missing cap - leaving the flue open to the subtropical humidity that had already started spalling the crown. We installed a custom copper cap to keep out chimney swifts and coated the crown with a weather-resistant sealant, all in a single trip. Custom caps in Conway typically range from $450-$890 depending on metal choice and flue count.
Cap Replacement
Standard cap replacement is our most common call in 32812. The original cap rusted through, blew off in a storm, or was never there to begin with. We replace with properly meshed caps from Famco and Olympia Chimney that exclude animals while maintaining draft. A typical cap replacement in Conway runs $280-$420 installed, and we carry the common sizes on our trucks.
Crown Coating
For crowns with minor cracking but sound structure, crown coating buys you years of protection without full rebuild cost. In Conway’s humidity, we only use elastomeric coatings rated for freeze-thaw and UV exposure - the cheap stuff fails in two seasons here. Crown coating runs $320-$480 and includes thorough surface prep, which is where the work actually happens.

Fast turnaround matters when rain is forecast and your crown is cracked.
Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Accelerated crown spalling from lakefront humidity. Properties along the Conway chain show concrete degradation that inland Orlando neighborhoods simply don’t match. The moisture-rich microclimate wicks into crown concrete through hairline cracks, then the 9-10 month dormancy period lets it do its damage unchecked. We see this pattern weekly in 32812.
- Missing or failed caps allowing rainwater intrusion. Heavy summer rainfall enters uncapped flues, promoting mold growth and masonry deterioration inside chimneys that aren’t being dried by regular fires. By the time Conway homeowners notice a smell or draft problem, the damage is already structural.
- Original clay tile liners with cracked mortar joints. Common in 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranches throughout Conway, these liners fail when debris and moisture from an uncapped flue block the chimney during a rare cold-snap fire. Incomplete combustion from an unfamiliar appliance turns a nuisance into a hazard fast.
- Chimney swift nesting in open flues. These federally protected migratory birds are common across Central Florida and will establish in any uncapped chimney. Once they’re in, you cannot legally remove them during nesting season. Proper cap installation with code-compliant mesh prevents the problem entirely.

FAQs - Chimney Cap & Crown in Conway
Lakefront properties in Conway face persistently elevated ambient humidity that accelerates moisture intrusion, mold growth, and masonry deterioration inside chimneys.

Call (877) 565-7563 for a free inspection - estimates cost nothing.
