Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Nationwide

Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown in Yonkers: What to Know First

Olympia Chimney cap and crown work in Yonkers typically runs $380 to $1,200 depending on whether the crown needs a recoat or full rebuild, and whether you’re replacing a single-flue cap or a custom multi-flue setup. We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means we can match an Olympia cap to the flue, or recommend a better-fit aftermarket option when the original part isn’t the smartest spend. Most Olympia cap and crown jobs in Yonkers take one visit: we assess with a camera, hand you a written price, then do the work the same day if you approve it. Call (551) 212-3526 to book, and you’ll get the estimate before any tool comes off the truck.

This page is for homeowners in Yonkers, Hastings-on-Hudson, Bronxville, and nearby Westchester neighborhoods who own a home with an Olympia Chimney cap, chase cover, or stainless liner system and want the crown and cap done without a vague quote and a second mystery visit.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless liners and caps, but we see the same failure patterns repeat across Yonkers rooftops. Here are the five we fix most often, and what’s actually going on when they fail:

• Vacu-Stack cap rust-through at the rivet points. The Olympia Vacu-Stack series uses riveted stainless bodies, and after eight to twelve years of Yonkers rain, salt air off the Hudson, and freeze-thaw cycles, the rivets corrode faster than the cap body. The cap looks fine from the ground, but water seeps through the rivet holes and drips onto the crown below. Fix: replace the cap with the same size or upsize to a sturdier one-piece welded aftermarket unit. We show you the camera photo of the drip marks before you spend a dollar.
• Cracked wash-style crowns on older Olympia liner-only installs. Homes along the Yonkers waterfront near the Hudson River Museum corridor often have masonry chimneys with an Olympia liner retrofitted years ago, but the original poured concrete crown was never upgraded. That old crown spalls, meaning the concrete flakes and cracks along the edges, letting water sit against the flue tile. Fix: grind the damaged surface, build the edge forms, and pour a proper crown with a drip edge and expansion gap, then recoat with an elastomeric sealer. It’s a crown repair, not a liner replacement. The liner is almost always fine.
• Undersized stock caps on multi-flue Olympia setups. Yonkers row houses and older colonials often have two or three flues in one chimney. A previous owner (or a handyman) bolted on a stock single-flue Olympia cap that doesn’t cover all the openings. Rain falls directly into the unused flue and soaks the smoke shelf. Fix: we measure the full crown surface, then install a properly sized multi-flue cap. For this we’ll usually go with a custom-fabricated cap rather than an off-the-shelf Olympia unit, because the goal is complete coverage, not brand purity.
• Olympia chase covers pulling up at the corners on factory-built chases. The Olympia chase cover is a stamped metal lid that sits atop a wood-framed chimney chase. On Yonkers homes that catch hard winter wind off the river, the corners can lift a quarter inch or more, especially if the installer used too few screws. Rain enters, rots the chase framing, and you don’t know until the siding bulges. Fix: remove the damaged cover, inspect the framing with the camera, then install a replacement cover with proper corner fastening and silicone gasketing. We keep several standard chase cover dimensions on the truck.
• Delaminating cap screen mesh that lets in birds and squirrels. Olympia caps include a screen mesh, and it fails in a quiet way: one season it’s fine, the next season a squirrel has torn a hole and built a nest on top of the damper. We pull more squirrel nests out of Yonkers flues in late spring than we care to count. Fix: remove the cap, clear the nest and debris, and replace the cap with a fresh unit or a heavy-gauge aftermarket model with stainless mesh. Then we camera the flue to make sure nothing else moved in.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

Here’s exactly what happens when you call us about an Olympia cap or crown in Yonkers:

1. 1
   You call (551) 212-3526. A live person answers. You describe what you’re seeing: water stains on the ceiling, mortar bits in the firebox, a cap that’s visibly tilted from the street. We book a visit and assign a named tech.
2. 2
   We inspect with a camera. Every visit includes an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan down the flue. Before any work is discussed, you see the crown condition, the cap condition, and the inside of the flue on our screen. We’ll point out the cracks, rust, and any water entry paths we find.
3. 3
   We put a written price in your hand. You get the price for the cap replacement, crown repair, or both, plus the scope of work and the warranty, printed and itemized. This happens before any work begins. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires it. If you’re not ready to decide, you keep the quote.
4. 4
   Parts and materials decision. If an Olympia OEM part is the right call and available, we use it. If an aftermarket part will fit better, hold up longer, or save you money without cutting corners, we say so and show you the price difference in writing. For crown work we use a fiber-reinforced concrete mix with an acrylic bonding agent, then seal with a breathable elastomeric coating.
5. 5
   We do the work and document it. The old cap comes off, the crown gets repaired or rebuilt, the new cap goes on and is mechanically fastened - not just caulked in place. Then we camera the flue again to confirm it’s clear and dry, and the photos go into your job record. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard: a documented photo record on every job, since 2009.
6. 6
   You get the written warranty and the photos. Before we leave, you have the before photos, the after photos, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right within a year, we come back and make it right.

Why Yonkers Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Yonkers for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and every single one had a written price before work began and a documented record when it was done. That was true when Corrine Halstead started the company and it’s true on every Olympia cap and crown job we run in Yonkers today. You get a named, background-checked tech, a text when we’re on the way, and an owner who still runs the camera before and after every job. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the quote.

When a repair calls for something Olympia doesn’t make, or a better option exists, we’re honest about it. We work across the full rack: DuraFlex liners, HeatShield resurfacing, Gelco crowns, Copperfield caps. That means we’re not reaching for the Olympia catalog every time because it’s the only one we carry. We’re reaching for what actually fixes the problem in Yonkers weather.
