Call (833) 753-1759

We’ve worked on chimneys throughout Forest Hills for 14 years, from the estate homes lining Tyne Boulevard to the wooded properties off Hillsboro Pike. These aren’t quick in-and-out jobs. Forest Hills’s mid-century masonry chimneys demand precise crown work and properly fitted caps that account for original clay-tile flues and the heavy burn schedules these homes see.

Why Landmark Chimney Cleaning Service Tennessee Is Forest Hills’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

Forest Hills homeowners don’t hire us for volume. They hire us because Richard Anderson, our owner and lead technician, has spent 14 years specializing exclusively in chimney systems—not general handyman work with sweeping tacked on. When you book a cap or crown job in Forest Hills, Richard is the person who shows up, climbs your roof, and decides what your chimney actually needs.

That accountability shows in our numbers: 364 homeowners have rated us 4.9 stars across verified reviews. Many of those come from repeat customers in Forest Hills who’ve learned they can call one company for everything from their annual sweep to a full liner rebuild. No coordinating separate contractors. No wondering who’s actually doing the work.

Our response time to Forest Hills is typically same-day or next-day for crown emergencies—water actively entering your flue, animals nesting, or visible spalling mortar. We carry Chimney Cap & Crown inventory and professional-grade materials from Gelco and Olympia Chimney, so most Forest Hills jobs don’t wait on parts. Richard knows the local housing stock: 1950s–1980s brick and stone estates with multiple masonry chimneys, original clay-tile liners, and the specific failure patterns Nashville’s climate creates here.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Forest Hills

Crown Repair

Crown repair is our most frequent cap-and-crown call in Forest Hills, and for clear reasons. The original concrete crowns on these 1960s–1980s estate homes were never designed to survive 40–70 years of Nashville freeze-thaw cycles. Water seeps into hairline cracks, expands when temperatures drop below freezing, and progressively shatters the crown from within. We see this constantly on Tyne Boulevard and the surrounding hillside estates.

Richard rebuilds crowns using professional-grade crown coat materials—HeatShield for resurfacing when the structural concrete is sound, or full pour-and-form reconstruction when the crown has deteriorated past saving. Every repair slopes water away from the flue and includes a proper drip edge. A typical crown repair in Forest Hills runs $450–$850.

Custom Cap Installation

Forest Hills’s custom-built estate homes weren’t designed with off-the-shelf solutions in mind. We’ve installed custom caps in copper, stainless steel, and black galvanized finishes to match specific architectural details—copper caps that patina to complement stone facades, low-profile designs that preserve sightlines from Hillsboro Pike. Richard measures each flue individually and sources from Copperfield and Famco for caps that fit precisely rather than “close enough.”

Custom cap installation in Forest Hills typically costs $380–$720 for single-flue systems, with multi-flue custom work running higher depending on dimensions and material.

Multi-Flue Cap

Many Forest Hills estates feature two or more fireplaces—often a main living room hearth plus a library or bedroom fireplace—served by a single chimney structure with multiple flues. These demand multi-flue caps that cover the entire chimney top with proper ventilation for each flue, not just individual caps crammed side by side.

Improperly capped multi-flue chimneys create differential weathering: one flue stays dry while another takes the brunt of wind-driven rain, accelerating joint failure and liner damage. Richard specs multi-flue caps from Gelco and Olympia Chimney that account for flue spacing, draft requirements, and the extended burn seasons these Forest Hills homes see. Multi-flue cap installation runs $520–$980 in this market.

Cap Replacement

Sometimes the crown is sound but the cap itself has failed—galvanized steel rusted through, mesh screens collapsed from creosote corrosion, or a cap blown off in one of Nashville’s spring windstorms. We stock replacement caps sized for Forest Hills’s common flue dimensions and can typically swap a failed cap same-day. Cap replacement alone runs $180–$340.

Crown Coating

For crowns with early-stage cracking but solid structural integrity, crown coating extends service life 5–10 years without full reconstruction. Richard applies flexible, breathable coatings that move with the concrete as Nashville’s temperature swings stress the material. This is particularly cost-effective for Forest Hills homeowners planning to sell—addressing the issue without a major capital outlay. Crown coating runs $340–$520.

Trusted Brands We Service in Forest Hills

We don’t use hardware-store caps or generic crown mix. Richard works with the same materials certified chimney professionals spec nationwide: HeatShield for crown resurfacing and flue liner restoration, Gelco for stainless and galvanized caps in standard and custom dimensions, and Olympia Chimney for multi-flue systems and specialty venting components. We stock common Forest Hills sizes—8×8, 8×13, 13×13 flue dimensions are standard on these mid-century masonry chimneys—so most jobs don’t wait on shipping. When a custom copper cap from Copperfield or specialty fabrication from Famco is required, Richard measures precisely and tracks delivery to minimize turnaround.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Forest Hills Homes

• Freeze-thaw crown spalling on original 1950s–80s chimneys. Nashville’s winter temperature swings—often 20°F overnight drops after rainy 50°F days—shatter crown concrete from the inside out. We see this most on chimneys that haven’t been inspected in 5+ years, which is common when new Forest Hills owners assume “the chimney was fine for the previous owner.”
• Missing caps allowing creosote-saturated water to destroy crown surfaces. Forest Hills homeowners burn heavy loads of oak and hickory—often wood harvested from their own lots. That produces aggressive creosote buildup. When rain mixes with creosote residue on an uncapped flue, the resulting acidic solution eats crown mortar within a single season.
• Multi-flue chimneys with partial or improper cap coverage. Large estate homes frequently have chimney structures with two or three flues, but only one capped—or caps that don’t extend far enough to protect the full chimney top. The exposed flue weathers faster, and water runs between flues into the chimney structure.
• Undersized caps that don’t account for heavy Forest Hills burn schedules. A cap that’s technically “the right size” for the flue may still fail if it doesn’t provide adequate mesh clearance for the volume of smoke and particulate these heavily used fireplaces produce. Richard specs caps with proper mesh height and cleanout access for real-world Forest Hills usage.
