Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been climbing Scarsdale’s steep slate and asphalt shingle roofs since 1984. The village’s pre-war housing stock, with its tall masonry chimneys rising above center-hall Colonials and half-timbered Tudors along Post Road and the Heathcote Five Corners area, presents a specific set of challenges that out-of-town crews often miss. Those chimneys were built for coal and oil, then adapted to gas, and their crowns and caps have endured ninety to a hundred Westchester winters. We know what that looks like. When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers, day or night, and we’ll give you a straightforward arrival window we intend to keep.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Scarsdale’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

Scarsdale homeowners tend to stay put. The same families occupy these homes for decades, and they remember which contractors showed up on time and which ones disappeared. We’ve earned that memory across the 10583 ZIP code and the surrounding villages by doing the work correctly and standing behind it. Our Chimney Cap & Crown team documents every inspection with level-2 camera footage and a plain-English verdict, so you see what we see.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with professional-grade materials from Gelco and Olympia Chimney already on the truck. No ordering parts and disappearing for two weeks. The 90-Day Done Right Promise governs every job, in writing, with no arguing. If the crown seal fails or the cap fit isn’t right, we come back. We’ve operated this way for over 42 years because we plan to be here when your grandchildren own the house.

Calls come in from the Greenacres neighborhood, from homes tucked along the Bronx River Parkway corridor, and from the older estates near Scarsdale Village. The response time is the same: we dispatch from our Westchester routing and typically arrive within hours, not days.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Scarsdale

Cap Installation

New cap installation in Scarsdale runs $320-$580 for a standard single-flue galvanized or stainless steel unit, and $650-$1,200 for a custom multi-flue cap on the four-flue chimneys common in the 1920s Tudor stock near Fox Meadow and Heathcote. We measure on site, fabricate to fit, and install with proper clearance and fastening so the cap survives the wind exposure that comes with Scarsdale’s hilltop siting and mature tree canopy.

Cap Replacement

Scarsdale’s original caps, many of them rusted galvanized hoods from the 1960s or bare metal flue covers that blew off in a nor’easter, get replaced with stainless steel or copper models from Famco or Gelco. A replacement job typically costs $280-$520. We also handle the underlying flue tile repair if the old cap leaked long enough to cause spalling at the flue top, which we see regularly in homes along Mamaroneck Road and the older sections of Edgewood.

Crown Repair

The crown is the concrete slab that seals the chimney top, and on Scarsdale’s tall, exposed chimneys it takes the worst of Westchester’s freeze-thaw punishment. Crown repair, including crack filling and resurfacing with professional-grade crown coat material, runs $450-$750. We use HeatShield and other industry-trusted products formulated for thermal expansion, not the hardware-store sealants that crack again by February. For crowns with structural deterioration or improper original slope, we may recommend a full rebuild, which our Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Scarsdale crew can assess during the same visit.

Crown Coating

Preventive crown coating, applied before the cracks widen, costs $280-$420 in Scarsdale and adds years of service to a sound but weathered crown. We recommend this specifically for homeowners in the 10583 area whose chimneys have already passed the eighty-year mark and whose crowns show the early map-cracking that precedes water infiltration. It’s a fraction of the cost of rebuilding, and we can complete it during your annual Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Scarsdale appointment.

Trusted Brands We Service in Scarsdale

We stock caps, crowns, and repair materials from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and HeatShield on every Scarsdale-bound truck. These are not builder-grade substitutes. Gelco’s stainless multi-flue caps, for instance, carry a lifetime warranty against corrosion, which matters on a Scarsdale chimney that may see another century of service. Olympia Chimney’s crown resurfacing products are formulated for the thermal cycling that Westchester’s climate demands. Because we carry inventory rather than ordering per job, most Scarsdale cap and crown repairs are completed start to finish in one visit, with no-hassle upfront pricing confirmed before we begin.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Scarsdale Homes

• Crown cracks from freeze-thaw cycling. Scarsdale’s chimneys stand tall above steep roofs and catch every temperature swing. Water enters hairline cracks, expands when it freezes, and widens the gap over dozens of cycles each winter. By March, a sound crown can become a leaking one.
• Missing or ill-fitting caps on multi-flue stacks. The four-flue chimneys common in Scarsdale’s Tudor and Colonial housing stock often lack proper cap coverage, or carry a single cap that leaves adjacent flues exposed to rain and animal entry. Squirrel and raccoon intrusion through uncapped flues is a frequent fall call in the Greenacres and Fox Meadow areas.
• Spalling concrete and exposed rebar. Original crowns poured in the 1920s-1940s used concrete mixes that weren’t designed for the thermal stress of modern gas appliances cycling on and off. We find crumbling edges and rusting rebar on chimneys along Post Road and in the older Heathcote sections.
• Improper slope directing water inward. Some original crowns were poured flat or with a reverse slope toward the flue. On Scarsdale’s tall chimneys, that concentrates runoff exactly where it does the most damage, accelerating deterioration of the flue liner and smoke chamber below.
