We work throughout Franklin’s ZIP codes 37064, 37065, 37068, and 37069 — from the antebellum chimneys near the Carter House to the sprawling prefab fireplaces in Westhaven and Fieldstone Farms. Richard handles it personally. After 14 years specializing exclusively in chimney work, we’ve learned that Franklin’s housing stock tells two completely different stories, and each demands a different approach to cap and crown service. Our Chimney Cap & Crown team carries the specific materials and sizing knowledge to handle both.

Our response time to Franklin is typically same-day or next-day because we’re based in Nashville and know the I-65 corridor well. We understand that when a chase cover rusts through during a February ice storm, you need someone who can measure, fabricate, and install without waiting weeks for parts.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Franklin

Cap Installation

New cap installation in Franklin most often means covering a chase that never had proper protection, or upgrading from a cheap builder-grade cover. In the subdivisions along Mack Hatcher Parkway and Cool Springs, we’ve seen too many homes where the original galvanized cap was essentially decorative — wrong size, wrong material, wrong overhang. We measure your chase opening, account for flue count and clearance requirements, and install caps that actually shed water. For Franklin’s custom homes in Avalon and Sullivan Farms, we regularly source Copperfield and Gelco caps with custom finishes to match exterior trim.

Cap Replacement

This is our most frequent cap service in Franklin. The 1990s–2010s luxury subdivision boom produced thousands of homes with builder-installed prefabricated zero-clearance fireplaces — often two to four per house — that are now 15–30 years old, making cap and crown failure a widespread issue specific to ZIP codes 37064 and 37067, unlike Nashville’s mixed-era housing stock. Those original galvanized steel chase covers corrode predictably in Tennessee’s humid summers. In Westhaven, we replaced a corroded galvanized steel chase cover on a 2005 prefab fireplace with a custom Copperfield multi-flue cap, matching the homeowner’s copper gutter accents. The old cap had rusted through from Tennessee’s humid summers, letting rain seep into the firebox. Cap replacement in Franklin typically runs $340–$620 for standard sizes, $580–$850 for custom multi-flue configurations.

Crown Repair

Crown repair in Franklin splits into two distinct categories. For the historic masonry chimneys near downtown — some dating to before the 1864 Battle of Franklin — we repoint and rebuild crown mortar that has cracked under decades of mild freeze-thaw cycling. These crowns were often poured too thin or without proper drip edges to begin with. For the prefab chases in Fieldstone Farms and newer developments, “crown” often refers to the concrete wash at the chase top, which spalls and separates from the metal flue collar. Richard assesses which type you’re dealing with and repairs accordingly, using HeatShield crown sealant or traditional mortar depending on the construction.

Crown Coating

Crown coating is the preventive service that Franklin homeowners too often skip until water damage appears. We apply flexible, waterproof coatings — typically HeatShield or similar professional-grade products — over sound but porous crown concrete. This buys years of protection against the humidity-driven deterioration that accelerates in Franklin’s long summers. Best applied before fall burning season, when the crown surface is dry and temperatures allow proper curing. Crown coating in Franklin runs $280–$450, far less than rebuilding a water-damaged firebox or repairing interior ceiling stains.

Multi-Flue Cap

Multi-flue caps are essential for Franklin’s larger homes with multiple fireplaces sharing a single chase. In Sullivan Farms and Avalon, we’ve corrected numerous installations where the original cap was sized for one flue but two or three prefab units were exhausting into the same chase. Improper multi-flue caps create drafting problems, accelerate corrosion from trapped moisture, and allow cross-contamination of flue gases. We fabricate and install properly sized multi-flue caps with adequate clearance and independent screening for each flue.

Custom Cap

Franklin’s high-end market demands more than off-the-shelf galvanized. We’ve sourced custom Copperfield caps with copper and stainless finishes for homes in Westhaven and along the Harpeth River corridor where exterior aesthetics matter as much as function. Custom caps accommodate unusual chase dimensions, integrated damper systems, or specific architectural requirements. Lead time is typically 5–7 business days, with installation scheduled once the cap arrives.

Trusted Brands We Service in Franklin

We stock and install Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield caps and components — the same lines that certified chimney professionals spec nationwide. For Franklin customers, this means we don’t need to special-order common sizes for your builder-grade Heatilator, Majestic, or Superior prefab fireplace. We carry chase cover dimensions that match the prevalent models installed during Franklin’s 1990s–2010s construction surge. When custom work is needed, our supplier relationships with Gelco and Copperfield get us fabricated caps faster than ordering through general hardware channels. Fast turnaround matters when your firebox is taking on water every rainfall.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Franklin Homes

• Galvanized chase cover corrosion in Westhaven and Fieldstone Farms. Builder-installed galvanized chase covers on prefab fireplaces in these subdivisions corrode after 10–15 years in Franklin’s humid summers, allowing leaks into the firebox. The rust often starts on the underside where condensation collects, so homeowners don’t notice until the ceiling below stains or the firebox liner rusts through.
• Crown mortar cracks on historic downtown homes. Unsealed crown mortar on historic homes near the 1864 Battle of Franklin site cracks under mild freeze-thaw cycles, letting water into the flue. These crowns were built before modern concrete mixes and lack the reinforcement and drip edges that contemporary construction requires.
• Improperly sized multi-flue caps in Avalon and Sullivan Farms. Multi-flue caps on large custom homes in these subdivisions fail due to improper sizing when multiple prefab flues share a chase, a common issue in Franklin’s high-end subdivisions. The result is drafting problems, moisture trapping, and accelerated deterioration of all connected components.
• Transplant homeowners discovering deferred maintenance. The Cool Springs and Mack Hatcher Parkway corridors have drawn large corporate relocations from colder markets, meaning many Franklin homeowners intend to burn wood regularly in fireplaces that previous Tennessee owners treated as decorative gas-log displays and left uninspected for a decade or more. The first serious fire season exposes rusted dampers, deteriorated chase covers, and cracked crowns that went unnoticed during casual use.
