This page is for Woodland Park homeowners who already have an Olympia chimney system, or are told they need Olympia-specific parts, and want a straight answer on caps and crowns.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia builds solid chimney components, but every brand has patterns. Here’s what we see on Olympia systems in Woodland Park, and what we do about it:

• Rusted multi-flue caps on older Olympia installations. The original Olympia multi-flue caps from the mid-2000s used a lighter gauge mesh than the current line. After fifteen-plus years of Passaic County rain and snow, the mesh pulls away from the frame at the corners. We replace with a heavier aftermarket stainless cap that matches the existing footprint, or a current Olympia cap if the homeowner wants brand continuity.
• Crown spalling on masonry chimneys with Olympia flue liners. The crown usually isn’t Olympia’s doing, but the failure shows up on their systems because the liner is doing its job while the crown above it gives out. In Woodland Park, freeze-thaw cycles near Rifle Camp Park are rough on crowns. We see hairline cracks turn into quarter-inch gaps in two winters. Our fix is either a crown repair with proper expansion joints or a full crown rebuild, depending on how far the damage has spread.
• Olympia cap-to-flue fitment drift. Homes settle, and flue tiles shift a shade. Some Olympia caps clamp onto the flue tile, and when the tile crown shifts, the cap loosens and rattles in wind. That rattle is the first thing owners notice. The correction is usually a slip-in adapter rather than a new cap, which saves about $200 versus buying replacement.
• Chase cover corrosion on factory-built Olympia models. When the chase cover fails, water runs down the outside of an Olympia flue pipe and pools at the firestop. We see this regularly in the Valley Road neighborhoods. The Olympia flue pipe itself is fine, but the generic chase cover above it wasn’t. We fabricate or order a stainless chase cover sized to the chase, then seal and secure it properly.
• OEM cap pricing that doesn’t reflect local conditions. Olympia’s OEM caps are well made, but the markup on shipping and brand name exceeds what a quality aftermarket stainless cap does in Woodland Park’s climate. We carry both, price both honestly, and give you the choice on your invoice.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

Here’s how a typical Olympia cap or crown job goes with us, from first call to final invoice:

1. 1
   You call (973) 846-1622. A live person answers, usually Wendell. You describe what you’re seeing. If it’s simple, you get a rough price range on the phone before anyone schedules anything.
2. 2
   We get on the roof and look. No replacement is recommended from the ground. We inspect the existing cap, crown, flue tile, and chase. We take photos.
3. 3
   You see what we see. Before any work is approved, we show you the camera footage or the photos and explain what actually needs doing. If it does not need doing, we will tell you that first.
4. 4
   Parts decision. If a cap needs replacement, we price the Olympia OEM option and a quality aftermarket stainless option. You choose. Either way, we confirm the part fits your flue size before ordering.
5. 5
   The repair or replacement. Cap work is usually done same visit. Crown repairs need to cure, so we schedule a return. We prep, apply, and tool the crown properly with drip-edge clearance.
6. 6
   Test and paperwork. We do a smoke test when the job allows, walk you through everything on the invoice, and stamp the 90-Day Done Right Promise on it. If it’s not right, you call and we come back.

Why Woodland Park Homeowners Call Top Hat Chimney for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been working Passaic County chimneys since 1999. Wendell Pike grew up in San Diego, but he’s spent the better part of two decades hauling brushes and drop cloths through Woodland Park, including more than a few chimneys over near Rifle Camp Park. He learned the trade at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, where a no-nonsense instructor told him the job was mostly listening - to the customer, to the flue, to what the soot is actually telling you.

Every Olympia cap or crown job we do carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. The number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice, no trip charge inside the county, and $40 off any repair over $200. We also service DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco systems, so if you’ve got mixed brands on one roof, one call covers it. Ask anyone on your street.
