Why Premier Chimney Cleaning Greater Spokane Is Fairwood’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

We’ve worked on enough Fairwood chimneys to recognize the patterns: unsealed concrete crowns from the 1960s that have never seen a protective coating, single-flue caps too small for newer inserts, and homeowners who need documentation that their system is clean and functional for SRCAA exemption status. Nearly 900 homeowners have reviewed us across our 11 years of chimney-only work, and that 4.7-star rating reflects jobs like the ones we do here — precise, documented, owner-led.

Anthony leads every job. Not a subcontractor, not a rotating crew. When you’re counting on your fireplace as real heat through a Spokane winter, that accountability matters. We carry Gelco and Olympia Chimney caps in common sizes for Fairwood’s typical mid-century flue dimensions, which means faster turnaround when ice or wind has damaged your existing cap. We also stock HeatShield crown coating material for same-day sealant applications when the concrete base is still structurally sound.

Our response time to Fairwood is consistently same-day or next-day for cap and crown issues, because we know a missing cap during a January cold snap isn’t a scheduling convenience — it’s a flue full of snow and a house that won’t heat.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Fairwood

Crown Coating for Aging Fairwood Masonry

The mid-century ranch homes that define Fairwood’s 99218 corridor were built with concrete chimney crowns that were rarely sealed at construction. After sixty years of Spokane’s 45+ inches of annual snow and repeated freeze-thaw, that bare concrete spalls, cracks, and funnels water directly into the flue. Our crown coating service uses HeatShield elastomeric sealant to create a waterproof, flexible membrane over sound-but-porous concrete. We apply it only after inspecting the crown’s structural integrity — coating won’t save a crown that’s already crumbling. For Fairwood homeowners who need their chimney certified for SRCAA burn-ban exemptions, a properly coated crown is part of a system that passes inspection.

Custom Cap Fabrication and Installation

Standard box-store caps don’t fit Fairwood’s variety of chimney profiles. We’ve measured flues on 1950s ranches with odd exterior dimensions, split-levels with multiple flues at different heights, and homes where a previous owner’s DIY cap installation left gaps that welcomed raccoons. Our custom caps are fabricated to your chimney’s exact measurements, fabricated from stainless steel or copper, and installed with proper storm collars and counter-flashing. We work with Famco for specialty dimensions when an off-the-shelf Gelco or Olympia Chimney unit won’t seal properly.

Multi-Flue Cap Upgrades

Many Fairwood homeowners have added a wood stove insert or gas log set to their original fireplace, creating a second flue or changing the flue dynamics. A single-flue cap leaves the secondary flue exposed, or creates dangerous clearance issues. Our multi-flue caps cover all flues in a single integrated unit, with proper height differentials to prevent downdraft between flues. This is a genuine future-proofing upgrade for mid-century homes — you’re not replacing a cap again when you modify your heating setup.

Crown Repair and Rebuild

When spalling has progressed past coating viability, we remove the damaged crown and pour a new concrete top with proper slope, overhang, and drip edge. Fairwood’s flat-topped chimney failures are common — the original builders often didn’t account for snowmelt pooling. We build in minimum 2-inch-per-foot slope so water runs off before it finds a crack. On a 1960s split-level in Fairwood’s 99218 corridor, we replaced a crumbling concrete crown with a custom-durable DuraFlex multi-flue cap that matched the home’s original chimney profile. The homeowner, who relies on her wood stove as her sole heat source, needed the cap to meet SRCAA exemption requirements — a clean chimney certification was a regulatory necessity, not just a comfort upgrade.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fairwood

We install and service materials from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco — brands we stock in sizes that match Fairwood’s common mid-century flue dimensions. For crown coating, we use HeatShield’s elastomeric system, which remains flexible at temperatures well below Spokane’s coldest nights. We don’t spec materials we wouldn’t use on our own homes. Because we carry inventory for Fairwood’s typical chimney profiles, most cap replacements don’t require a two-week order delay — we measure, confirm fit, and install.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Fairwood Homes

• Uncoated crowns spalling from freeze-thaw. Original 1950s–1970s masonry chimneys in Fairwood were built with bare concrete crowns. Decades of snowmelt seeping in, freezing, and expanding have turned solid concrete into crumbly aggregate. We see this on nearly every uncoated mid-century crown we inspect.
• Single-flue caps mismatched to modified systems. Homeowners who’ve added inserts or relined their flues often find their original cap no longer provides proper coverage. Gaps at the flue edge allow rain, snow, and animal entry — we’ve removed squirrel nests and ice dams from these openings.
• Flat-topped crowns pooling water. Some Fairwood chimneys were built with inadequate or no slope on the crown surface. Heavy snowmelt in March and April sits in a depression, finds hairline cracks, and accelerates mortar joint deterioration throughout the chimney structure.
• Missing or wind-damaged caps after winter storms. Spokane’s wind corridors extend into north county, and poorly secured caps — especially DIY installations with inadequate fasteners — end up in yards or neighboring properties. We secure replacements with proper masonry anchors and storm collars rated for local wind exposure.
