Fast, Reliable Chimney Cap & Crown Across Georgetown
A properly fitted chimney cap and intact crown in Georgetown typically runs $280-$750 depending on whether we’re sealing a hairline crack or replacing a full cap assembly, and most jobs finish in a single visit. If you’re noticing water stains on your fireplace surround, hearing animals in the flue, or seeing crumbled concrete on your chimney top, the fix is usually straightforward and same-day.
We’ve been driving out to Georgetown from our base of operations for decades, and we know the difference between a Sun City Texas home built in 2003 with a factory-built gas fireplace and a limestone-clad chimney off Austin Avenue that predates the interstate. That matters because the cap and crown problems look different, the parts are different, and the right fix depends on knowing which house you’re standing in front of. Call (844) 803-1545 and a live person will pick up, 24 hours a day.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Georgetown
Cap Installation
New cap installation in Georgetown runs $280-$450 for a standard single-flue galvanized or stainless steel unit, and $480-$750 for a multi-flue cap with mesh screening. In the Sun City Texas developments off Williams Drive, we install dozens of these on nearly identical Lennox and Heatilator factory-built chimneys. The caps are sized to those exact flue dimensions, and our technicians know the clearances by heart. A cap keeps rain out, stops animals from nesting, and prevents wind-driven down drafts that blow out pilot lights during Georgetown’s winter cold snaps.
Cap Replacement
When a cap is rusted through, blown off in a storm, or mangled by a falling branch, replacement is usually same-day. We see this often in the older 78626 neighborhoods near the San Gabriel River, where mature live oaks and pecan trees overhang chimneys built decades before anyone thought about limb clearance. A replacement cap in Georgetown costs $250-$520 depending on material and flue count. We remove the old unit, inspect the flue opening for hidden damage, and install the new cap with proper fasteners that won’t pull out of deteriorating crown concrete.
Crown Repair
The concrete crown is the chimney’s umbrella, and in Georgetown it takes a beating from summer heat cycling and sudden winter freezes. Cracks in the crown let water seep into the chimney structure, where freeze-thaw expansion opens them wider each season. Crown repair in Georgetown typically runs $320-$580 for crack sealing and resurfacing with a flexible crown coating. For crowns that have deteriorated past saving, we rebuild with proper slope and overhang to shed water away from the masonry. Homes in the 78633 ZIP, including Sun City, often have factory-built chimney chase tops that look like crowns but are actually galvanized steel pans prone to rust-through. We replace those with proper concrete crowns or stainless chase covers.
Crown Coating
Crown coating is preventive maintenance that extends the life of sound concrete by 10-15 years. In Georgetown’s climate, where a 100-degree August day can follow a February hard freeze by six months, thermal expansion stresses crown concrete constantly. We apply a flexible, breathable coating that bridges hairline cracks and sheds water without trapping moisture inside. A crown coating runs $280-$420 and takes about two hours. It’s the cheapest insurance against a $2,000+ rebuild, and we recommend it for every masonry chimney in Georgetown over 15 years old.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Rust-through on factory-built chase tops in Sun City Texas homes. The galvanized steel pans on 1990s-2010s Lennox and Heatilator units were never meant to last 25 years. We replace them with stainless steel chase covers or proper concrete crowns that won’t rust out from the center.
- Cracked crowns on limestone chimneys near the Courthouse Square. Georgetown’s historic core has masonry chimneys built with local Lueders limestone and crowned with concrete that has endured 50+ years of thermal cycling. The cracks start small and grow every freeze.
- Missing or improperly fitted caps allowing squirrel and bird intrusion. Georgetown’s mild winters mean animals are active year-round, and an uncapped flue is an invitation. We find nests in chimneys that haven’t been used since the last cold snap, often blocking gas venting and creating dangerous downdraft conditions.
- Water staining from crown washout in Wolf Ranch and Cimarron Hills. Newer master-planned communities have chimneys that look fine from the ground but suffer from crown washout, where the concrete surface erodes and the reinforcing mesh rusts and expands, spalling the concrete from within.
