Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Copperfield Chimney Cap & Crown in New Rochelle: What to Know First
We provide independent Copperfield chimney cap and crown service in New Rochelle, with most jobs completed in a single visit and upfront pricing agreed before we start. A standard Copperfield cap replacement runs $340-$620, while crown repair or coating typically falls between $480-$890 depending on access and flue count. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Copperfield; we are an independent service provider that stocks the parts and knows the product lines.
This page is for homeowners in New Rochelle who already have a Copperfield cap or crown and need it repaired or replaced by someone who understands the brand’s specific hardware. If you are in Beechmont, Wykagyl, or down near the water in Davenport Neck, we have worked on your neighbors’ chimneys. Call (516) 927-2678 to speak with a live person and book a free estimate.
How Copperfield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Copperfield ProShield series: The galvanized steel mesh on ProShield caps corrodes at the welds faster than the base metal, especially where Long Island Sound salt air works its way up the flue. We see this in New Rochelle homes within six to eight years of install, not the advertised fifteen. We replace with marine-grade 304 stainless mesh or a full ProShield stainless upgrade, matched to your existing base if it is still sound.
- Copperfield DraftKing multi-flue caps: The DraftKing’s lid-to-screen attachment uses a rolled-edge seam that separates when ice builds underneath, which happens regularly in New Rochelle’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our fix is a seam-locked stainless replacement lid, not a field-bend patch that opens again next winter. We have replaced enough of these to keep the correct lid profiles in stock.
- Copperfield standard concrete crowns: The factory-mix crowns that ship with some Copperfield chase covers are poured thin at the edges, where New Rochelle wind-driven rain hits hardest. Hairline cracks start at the drip edge and work inward. We grind back to solid concrete, apply a sloped bond coat, and finish with CrownSeal or a poured structural crown depending on how far the damage has traveled.
- Copperfield chimney pot adapters: The clay-to-metal transition collar on pot adapter kits loosens as the clay expands and contracts at a different rate than the galvanized collar. We see this on the Spanish-style pots common in Wykagyl’s 1920s Tudor revivals. Our repair uses a stainless flex collar with a compression seal that accommodates the differential movement without leaking.
- Copperfield chase cover replacements: Pre-fab chase covers in the Copperfield line sometimes ship with a flat-top design that ponds water. In New Rochelle’s leaf-heavy fall, that water stains the siding and rots the chase framing. We spec a cross-break or peaked stainless chase cover, fabricated to the inch from your field measurements, with welded drip edges and proper counterflashing.
Our Copperfield Chimney Cap & Crown Process
- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks our stock for your Copperfield series, and books a window that works. No app, no callback queue.
- 2
Level-2 camera inspection. We run a camera up the flue before touching the cap or crown. You see the photos, we explain what we found, and we mark what needs doing now versus what can wait.
- 3
Parts decision. If your Copperfield part is still in production, we quote OEM. If it is discontinued, which happens with some ProShield sizes, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent from Olympia Chimney or Famco and explain the trade-off before you decide.
- 4
The repair. Background-checked, uniformed techs complete most cap and crown jobs in a single visit. We protect your roof and landscaping, remove the failed component, install the replacement, and seal all penetrations.
- 5
Post-repair test. We run the camera again to confirm nothing shifted in the flue, verify draft with a smoke pencil, and show you the after photos.
- 6
Written guarantee. You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave. If it is not right, we come back. No paperwork to dig up, no arguing.

Why New Rochelle Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Copperfield Work
We have been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be here when your next cap wears out. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, with no arguing. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Copperfield hardware specifically, but we also carry DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco products when those better solve the problem at hand. Most jobs finish in one visit because we stock the common Copperfield sizes and do not order-and-hope.
Russell Haines, who runs the company, spent years running his brush through flues across Westchester County, including plenty of older Colonial-era stacks in New Rochelle’s Beechmont neighborhood. He learned early that a cap that looks fine from the ground can be rusted through underneath. That is why we photograph everything and explain it plain.
FAQs
Copperfield’s original warranty on caps and crowns is typically limited to manufacturing defects and runs five to ten years from purchase, not from installation by an independent provider. As an independent Copperfield service provider, our repair does not void what remains of that coverage, but we cannot extend the manufacturer’s warranty either. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship regardless. Call (516) 927-2678 if you want us to check your original purchase date.
Yes, for most lines. We stock adapters and common sizes for discontinued ProShield and early DraftKing models, and we fabricate custom stainless solutions when OEM parts are exhausted. The trade-off is explained before you decide. Call (516) 927-2678 and tell us what is on your chimney; we will know if we have a match.
If the cracks are hairline and the concrete is still structurally sound, a CrownSeal coating buys you years at roughly half the cost of a rebuild. If the crown has spalled, separated from the flue tile, or lost more than a quarter-inch of material at the edge, rebuild is the honest recommendation. We show you the camera photos and explain which category you are in. Nothing is sold without evidence you can see.
Most cap replacements take two to three hours. Crown coating adds an hour; full rebuilds typically run four to six hours depending on forming complexity. We complete most jobs in a single visit because we arrive with the parts. Call (516) 927-2678 to book a morning or afternoon window.
A failed cap admits rain, squirrels, and leaves; a failed crown lets water into the chase framing and the flue itself. In New Rochelle’s wet winters, that water freezes, expands, and turns a $500 crown coating into a $2,000 rebuild with interior damage. We will tell you honestly if your situation can wait. Some can. Many cannot. The camera inspection removes the guesswork. Call (516) 927-2678 for a free estimate.
