Chimney Cap Installation in Rancho Cordova, CA

Chimney Cap Installation for Rancho Cordova Homeowners

Rancho Cordova splits cleanly along Sunrise Boulevard for our purposes. West of it, the older Cordova Meadows and Mather-adjacent neighborhoods are largely 1950s and 1960s construction, much of it originally built as housing connected to Mather Field, with compact masonry fireplaces and clay tile flues that are now well past sixty years old. East of Sunrise, Anatolia and the Sunridge developments are twenty-first century builds running factory-built fireplaces and direct-vent gas appliances. The older west side generates most of our masonry repair and relining work in this city, while the newer east side is mostly annual inspections, chase cover work, and dryer vent cleaning. Rancho Cordova sits in Sacramento County, so the winter Check Before You Burn restrictions apply here as well. We cover both 95670 and 95742.

Sharp divide at Sunrise Boulevard: 1950s-1960s Mather-era masonry to the west, 2000s-onward factory-built and direct-vent systems to the east. Masonry relining is concentrated in the older western neighborhoods.

The chimney cap is one of the smallest and most cost-effective pieces of your chimney system, yet it does an enormous amount of work. A properly fitted cap keeps rain out of the flue, blocks birds, squirrels, and raccoons from nesting inside, stops leaves and debris from clogging the passage, and includes a spark arrestor that prevents burning embers from landing on your roof. A missing, rusted, or ill-fitting cap invites water damage, animal intrusion, blockages, and even roof fires. Installing the right cap protects everything below it.
