Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Clovis’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company
We’ve been driving to Clovis from our Los Angeles headquarters for over 42 years, and we’ve watched this city grow from a quiet agricultural community into the master-planned suburb it is today. That history means we’ve worked on the same 1980s and 1990s tract homes in neighborhoods like Tarpey Village, the streets near Clovis Community Medical Center, and the newer developments north of Herndon Avenue - so we know the factory-built fireplaces common here and the specific cap and crown failures they develop.
Our customers in Clovis tell us they chose us because we show up when we say we will, we explain what we found in plain English, and we document everything with photos they can see. The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job: if it’s not right, we make it right, in writing, with no arguing. Calls are answered by a live person, not a voicemail system, every hour of every day. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the professional-grade materials needed to complete most cap and crown work in one trip.
Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Clovis
Cap Installation
New cap installation in Clovis runs $320-$580 for standard single-flue models, with multi-flue and custom caps ranging higher based on dimensions and material. We install caps from Olympia Chimney and Famco, sized precisely to your flue opening to keep out the starlings and sparrows that nest aggressively in Clovis’s long off-seasons between legal Burn Days. A proper cap also blocks the fine particulate-laden tule fog that seeps down idle flues during winter inversions, protecting your firebox from moisture damage.
Cap Replacement
When an existing cap is rusted through, wind-damaged, or improperly sized, replacement is straightforward but critical. In Clovis, we often find caps that were installed without proper clearance for flue gas exhaust, or that have deteriorated after years of summer heat baking the metal. We remove the old unit, inspect the flue tile condition beneath it, and install a replacement that vents correctly and lasts. Most cap replacements in Clovis are completed in under two hours.
Crown Repair
The concrete crown at the top of your chimney is what seals the gap between flue tile and brickwork. In Clovis, triple-digit summer temperatures cause thermal expansion that cracks crown mortar, and the rare heavy winter rains - when they come - exploit those cracks to send water straight into the chimney structure. Crown repair typically costs $450-$720 in Clovis and involves chipping out deteriorated concrete, rebuilding the slope for proper drainage, and sealing with professional-grade crown coating.
Crown Coating
For crowns with minor cracking that hasn’t yet compromised structural integrity, crown coating offers preventive protection at $280-$420. We use flexible, breathable sealants designed to accommodate the thermal cycling that Clovis chimneys endure - baking heat followed by occasional freeze-thaw when winter fog lifts. This service is especially valuable for homeowners in the 93619 area near the foothills, where temperature swings between day and night are more pronounced than in the valley floor.
Multi-Flue Cap Installation
Homes with multiple fireplaces or a fireplace and furnace sharing a chimney structure need multi-flue caps that protect all openings with a single engineered unit. These run $580-$950 installed in Clovis, depending on chimney width and material selection. We measure on-site and fabricate to fit, since the tract-home chimneys built during Clovis’s 1980s-2000s construction boom vary more than you’d expect.
Custom Cap Fabrication
For unique chimney profiles, historic homes, or homeowners who want copper or other premium materials, we offer custom cap work starting around $850. We’ve fabricated custom caps for properties near Old Town Clovis and for larger homes in the Buchanan area where standard sizing won’t serve.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from brands that have proven themselves in the field: Olympia Chimney for stainless and galvanized caps, Famco for specialized venting solutions, and Copperfield for crown repair and coating products. We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. For Clovis customers, this means we stock common cap sizes and crown coating materials so we’re not ordering parts and making you wait - most jobs are completed in that single visit we promise. When we do need to order a custom size, we know the lead times and we’ll tell you upfront, not after we’ve started.
Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Crown cracking from thermal cycling. Clovis’s summer highs regularly exceed 100°F while winter lows dip near freezing during tule fog events. That expansion and contraction cracks concrete crowns, and once water penetrates, freeze-thaw damage accelerates through the structure. We catch this early with Level-2 camera inspections that show you photos of the damage.
- Missing or improperly fitted caps allowing animal nesting. Because Clovis chimneys sit idle for weeks between legal Burn Days, birds and squirrels treat flues as prime real estate. Our technicians regularly pull compacted nests from Clovis chimneys - a pattern far more pronounced here than in Sierra Nevada communities where fireplaces burn steadily all winter.
- Factory-built fireplace chase covers rusting through. The zero-clearance prefab units common in Clovis’s 1980s-2000s housing stock use metal chase covers instead of masonry crowns. After 20-40 years, these rust and leak, damaging the firebox and surrounding framing. We replace these with galvanized or stainless covers that outlast the originals.
- Crown sealant failure from UV exposure. Previous repairs using generic sealants often fail within a few seasons under Central Valley sun. Our crown coatings are formulated for this climate and applied with proper prep so they bond and flex as intended.
