Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterHow Much Does Chimney Cap & Crown Cost in Georgetown?
A chimney cap and crown job in Georgetown typically runs $375 to $1,450 for most homes, with a single cap installation landing around $175 to $450 and a full crown rebuild running $650 to $1,450. If you need both a new cap and a rebuilt crown together, most Georgetown homeowners pay in the $850 to $1,600 range, materials included. The spread comes down to roof pitch, masonry condition, and whether your chimney is topped in brick or a pre-fab metal system.
We’re Resolute Chimney Sweep, and we handle caps, crowns, liners, and the sweep that tells us which of those you actually need. Everything we install comes from professional supply lines like Olympia Chimney, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield. No hardware-store substitutes bolted on with caulk and a prayer. Call (877) 644-8036 for a free estimate.
Key Takeaways
- A chimney cap alone in Georgetown: $175 to $450 installed.
- A crown rebuild or recast: $650 to $1,450, depending on size and masonry work.
- Cap and crown together: $850 to $1,600 for most single-flue brick chimneys.
- Custom multi-flue caps for larger Georgetown homes run $450 to $900.
- Cracked crowns let water in, and Central Texas freeze-thaw cycles turn that crack into a rebuild. Fix it early and you’ll pay less.
Chimney Cap & Crown Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what these jobs actually cost in the Georgetown market this year. These are installed prices, not box prices. They include labor, sealant, and the correct fasteners for the surface.
| Line Item | Typical Cost Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single-flue stainless cap | $175 – $450 | Standard sized, single flue, stainless or galvanized |
| Custom / multi-flue cap | $450 – $900 | Fabricated to fit, two or more flues |
| Chimney crown wash (recast, no rebuild) | $650 – $1,100 | Resurfacing the crown with proper mix and slope |
| Full crown rebuild | $950 – $1,450 | Removing failed masonry, rebuilding with reinforced concrete |
| Crown sealing / waterproofing add-on | $150 – $350 | Applied after crown work to slow future water intrusion |
| Cap removal and reseating an existing cap | $125 – $250 | Common when an old cap is loose or misaligned |
What drives cost up: a multi-flue chimney, a steep roof that requires more safety setup, damaged brick courses at the crown line that need to be replaced before the new crown goes down, and any custom cap fabrication. What keeps it down: a simple single-flue chimney, easy access, and catching the problem early. We’ve pulled crowns in Georgetown where the crack started small and three summers later the whole top course was spalling. That’s the expensive version of the same repair.
What Affects Chimney Cap & Crown Pricing in Georgetown
- Roof pitch and access. Georgetown has a mix of one-story ranch homes and two-story builds with steeper rooflines. A chimney that requires more staging or a steeper pitch to work safely adds labor. We don’t cut corners on roof setup, and that cost shows up honestly in the quote.
- Masonry condition at the crown line. The crown sits on the top brick course. If those bricks are spalled or the mortar joint under the crown is failing, we replace them before pouring or casting the crown. A crown on bad brick fails fast, and we’re not going to install a repair that won’t hold.
- Chimney size and flue count. A single flue on a fireplace chimney is the base price. A larger chimney with two flues (a fireplace plus a furnace), or a wide exterior chimney, requires a custom-fabricated cap and more crown surface area.
- Cap material. Galvanized caps are at the bottom of the range. Stainless steel, which is the right call in Central Texas heat and occasional hard freezes, is the upper end. We stock and install stainless for durability.
- Central Texas weather. Georgetown gets hot summers and a handful of hard freezes each winter. That cycle works on masonry. Water gets into a crack, freezes, expands, and the crack grows. A proper crown with the right slope and sealant is what stops that cycle. It’s the difference between a $650 crown wash now and a $1,450 rebuild in three years.
- Whether it’s bundled with a sweep. If we’re already on the roof for a sweep and inspection, the cap and crown work can be scheduled without a second trip, and the bundled quote is usually better. One call covers the sweep, the vent, and the repair.
How to Save on Chimney Cap & Crown
There are a few things you can do to keep the number down without putting a cheap part on a permanent fixture.
- Deal with the crack now. A small crown crack sealed early is a fraction of a rebuild. Wait for a freeze to open it up and you’re paying for masonry removal and new brick.
- Bundle with your annual sweep. When we’re already inspecting the chimney, the crown assessment and cap measurement happen in the same visit. Ask about combined pricing when you book your sweep.
- Ask for a written scope, not a verbal number. A real quote tells you what’s being removed, what materials are going on, and what the crown slope will be. If a quote is vague, the cheap number isn’t the price.
- Get the crown sealed. A crown sealant applied after the repair won’t stop a bad crown, but it slows the water intrusion that causes the next one. It’s a $150 to $350 add-on that pays for itself.
- Don’t skip the cap to save $200. A cap keeps rain, birds, and debris out of the flue. Skipping it is how you end up paying for a flue cleaning or a liner repair later. The cap is the cheap insurance in this equation.
Free estimates are how we start every job. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll get on the roof, look at the crown, and give you a real number for your chimney, not a range pulled from a website.
FAQs – Chimney Cap & Crown Cost
How much does a chimney cap cost in Georgetown, TX?
A standard single-flue chimney cap installed in Georgetown costs $175 to $450. Custom or multi-flue caps run $450 to $900. Stainless steel sits at the higher end and lasts longer in our climate than galvanized. Call (877) 644-8036 for an exact quote on your chimney.
How much does a chimney crown repair cost in Georgetown?
A crown wash (resurfacing the existing crown) runs $650 to $1,100, and a full crown rebuild runs $950 to $1,450 if the masonry under it failed. The size of the chimney and the condition of the top brick course set the number. A free estimate from us tells you which one you actually need.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a chimney crown?
Repair is almost always cheaper than letting a crown fail completely. A $650 to $1,100 crown wash now prevents a rebuild that could exceed $1,450 once water has worked into the masonry. The cheapest crown job is the one done before the freeze-thaw cycle widens the crack. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll tell you which path your crown is on.
Do I really need a chimney cap in Georgetown?
Yes. A cap costs $175 to $450 and keeps rain, birds, squirrels, and debris out of the flue. Without one, water gets into the chimney, and in Georgetown’s occasional hard freezes that water does real damage. A cap is the least expensive preventive piece on the whole chimney.
Can you do the cap and crown in the same visit?
Usually, yes. When the crown work and the cap install land on the same trip, the combined price is typically $850 to $1,600 for most single-flue chimneys, and you only pay for one roof setup. Call (877) 644-8036 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll scope both jobs together.
Whichever way your chimney is leaning, we’d rather look at it now than after the next freeze. We bring the right material for the repair (DuraFlex and HeatShield for liner work, Olympia Chimney, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield for caps and components), and we finish what we start. Found during the sweep, fixed by us. Resolute means we see it through.

What Our Customers Say
"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
— Henry Kim"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Gabriela Castillo"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Eduardo Reyes
