"I called Horizon after moving into a new home in Medway and having no idea what condition the chimney was in. They sent a team out the same day! The guys were great - very friendly and professional. They looked everything over, informed us that one chimney needed to be cleaned but the other did not, and some of the brick work was loose on the fireplace floor. I also requested a chimney cap and they suggested strengthening part of the chimney before installing. They provided an estimate within 24 hours and came out about a week later to do the work. Again, they were completely professional, pleasant and somehow despite cleaning the chimney and doing masonry work, did not create any dust or mess in the house. I was so pleased that I asked them to put us on a yearly schedule for routine cleaning. I highly recommend!"

"The chimney build was improperly completed, leading to ceiling and wall water damage. A tech tech came out to investigate twice. One tech dropped a large HVAC vent which damaged our wall and floor. He informed us that the roofing installed by the masons was installed incorrectly because “they are masons, not roofers.” The roof had to be reopened and reinstalled around the chimney. The owner did not want to put damages through insurance and told the tech had to fix it himself. I told him it needed to be fixed professionally. I had to reach out to the owner after a week. He told me that he wouldn’t be repairing anything. After explaining the damage was result of incorrect installation, he asked me to send him pictures. Days later I realized that the owner had blocked my number. I called from another phone and the owner said he wasn’t going to make any repairs. He said if I had any other issues from the install and wanted to be “a nit-picking customer”, I was now “on my own”."

Chimney cap installations and replacements FAQs
Chimney caps are necessary to keep animals, water, and debris from falling into your home. They also control the wind to minimize the risk of a backdraft. If you use your fireplace, a chimney cap is crucial to keep dangerous embers from flying out the top of your chimney.
No, chimney caps do not keep rain out entirely. However, chimney caps minimize rain and ice accumulation inside the chimney, preventing significant water or ice buildup in your home. They must remain partially open to allow exhaust to escape. As such, they do not provide a completely waterproof barrier.
Chimney caps can last three to 25 years or longer, depending on the quality of the material. Galvanized chimney caps tend to have shorter lifespans, but stainless steel, aluminum, and copper caps can last more than 25 years, making them some of the soundest chimney cap investments you can make.
Generally, the top of the chimney cap must be at least five inches above the top of the flue. If you hire a handyperson for your chimney cap installation, they can advise on the size and type of cap to purchase.
Chimney crowns—similar to chimney chase covers—are flat areas directly beneath the chimney cap. The installer reinforces the top of the chimney with mortar or concrete to shed water and provide a protective cover for your chimney, sealing the top. A chimney cap is still necessary to protect the flue against weather and animals.
