Call (866) 541-8697

Our Chimney Cap & Crown team knows the local housing stock here. We’ve worked on hundreds of 1960s–1980s ranch and split-level homes in Spokane Valley, many with original masonry crowns that have endured 40+ years of continental freeze-thaw cycling. When you call (866) 541-8697, you’re reaching James Wilson or a technician trained directly by him — not a dispatcher sending a subcontractor from out of town.

Why Horizon Chimney Sweep Washington Is Spokane Valley’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

We’ve built our reputation in Spokane Valley one chimney at a time. Our 1,006 verified customer reviews averaging 4.8 stars reflect repeated trust from homeowners who’ve called us back year after year — not a handful of curated testimonials. Many of those reviews come from repeat customers in the 99216 ZIP who started with a sweep and returned when their crown cracked or their cap failed.

James Wilson serves as lead technician, which means 17 years of hands-on chimney expertise arrives at your door — not an absentee owner sending an inexperienced hire. That matters in Spokane Valley, where the 1960s–80s housing stock presents diagnostic challenges that multi-trade contractors often misread. We’ve seen the pattern: a generalist spots surface damage and patches it; we trace the water intrusion path back to the crown slope, the flue liner condition, and the cap overhang.

Our response time to Spokane Valley is typically same-day or next-day during peak season. We stock caps and crown repair materials for common Spokane Valley flue sizes, so we’re not ordering parts and leaving you exposed through another freeze-thaw cycle.

Crown Repair

Crown repair is our most frequent call in Spokane Valley’s 99216 ZIP. The 1960s–1980s ranch homes that dominate this area were built with concrete crowns that weren’t designed to survive 40+ years of sharp freeze-thaw cycling — temperatures regularly plunging below 10°F, then warming above freezing by afternoon. We repair spalling crowns with HeatShield mortar, re-establishing proper slope and drip edge to shed water away from the masonry below. On a split-level home near the Spokane River, we found a cracked concrete crown on a 1970s masonry fireplace that had never been crowned with a modern stainless liner. We repaired the crown with HeatShield mortar and installed a custom copper Famco cap to prevent nesting starlings, a known issue after burn-ban lifts.

Cap Installation & Replacement

Missing or rusted caps are an open invitation to moisture and animals — and in Spokane Valley, that invitation gets accepted aggressively after SRCAA burn bans lift. When fireplaces sit cold and damp during Stage 1 or Stage 2 restrictions, starlings and squirrels exploit the gap. We install DuraFlex and Copperfield caps sized precisely to your flue, with proper screening that maintains draft while keeping animals out. For homes near Dishman Hills or along the Spokane River corridor where wind exposure is higher, we spec heavier-gauge materials and reinforced mounting.

Multi-Flue Cap

Many Spokane Valley split-levels and two-story ranches have multiple fireplaces or a fireplace paired with a furnace flue. A single cap spanning all flues eliminates the gaps between individual caps where water and debris collect. We measure on-site — multi-flue caps are not a guess-and-cut product — and fabricate from galvanized steel or copper depending on your budget and exposure conditions. The 40–50 inches of annual snowfall in Spokane Valley means snow load matters; we engineer for it.

Custom Cap

Some Spokane Valley chimneys defy standard sizing — oversized flues from pre-1980s construction, decorative shrouds, or chimneys with irregular crown profiles. We fabricate custom caps to fit precisely, using measurements taken by James Wilson or a senior technician. Custom work runs higher, but it eliminates the cobbled adapters and gaps that cause leaks on standard caps forced onto non-standard flues.

Crown Coating

For crowns with early-stage spalling — surface cracking and minor erosion, but intact structural integrity — crown coating extends service life 5–10 years at roughly half the cost of full repair. We use flexible, breathable coatings that accommodate the thermal movement Spokane Valley’s extreme temperature swings demand. It’s not a permanent fix for advanced deterioration, but it’s a smart intervention for 1960s ranch homeowners who catch the problem early.

Trusted Brands We Service in Spokane Valley

We install and repair with professional-grade materials: DuraFlex stainless caps and liners, HeatShield crown repair mortar, Famco custom and standard caps, and Copperfield hardware. These aren’t off-brand patchwork products — they’re what we specify because they’ve survived Spokane Valley’s climate in the field. We maintain stock of common cap sizes and HeatShield materials for 99216-area flue dimensions, which means faster turnaround and no waiting through a cold snap with an open flue.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Spokane Valley Homes

• Spalling concrete crowns on 1960s–1980s ranch homes. Forty-plus years of freeze-thaw cycling has destroyed the surface integrity of original crowns across the 99216 ZIP. Water penetrates the cracks, freezes, expands, and accelerates masonry deterioration below. We catch this during inspection and repair before the damage reaches the brick courses.
• Undersized or missing caps on wood-stove inserts retrofitted in the 1970s–1980s. Many Spokane Valley homes had inserts installed during the energy crisis, often with flues that were never properly lined or capped. The result is heavy glazed creosote accumulation and genuine chimney fire risk. A properly sized cap with correct screening is essential — and often reveals the need for liner work we can handle without calling a second company.
• Multi-flue caps failing to keep out birds and moisture during burn-ban periods. When SRCAA restrictions lift after multi-day cold snaps, we see a predictable surge: damp flues that sat cold have drawn nesting animals. Caps with damaged or improperly sized screening fail this critical function exactly when you need to burn most urgently.
• Crown slope failure directing water into the flue. Original crowns on Spokane Valley’s older homes were often poured flat or with inadequate overhang. Without proper slope and drip edge, water runs directly into the flue throat, saturating the smoke chamber and accelerating liner deterioration. We re-pitch with HeatShield or pour new crowns with correct geometry.
