Looking for chimney cap repair in Trenton, NJ? Clear Path Chimneys serves Trenton and the surrounding Mercer County area. Trenton's older row-home masonry chimneys often need crown and liner work, and cold, wet winters speed up the damage. Every visit starts with a free inspection and an upfront price on site — no service call fee, and you only pay if you book.

Which fix fits your situation?

If the cap blew off but the flue and crown are intact, a reattachment is enough — fastest and cheapest.

If the crown is cracked too, you need a replacement cap plus a crown seal. The trade-off is more cost now versus water reaching the masonry and a four-figure repair later.

If you also hear animals or see daylight, add a stainless guard so it does not happen again.

Not sure? Text a photo and a local Trenton tech will tell you before any truck rolls.

What we handle

✓ Reattach or replace caps
✓ Crown seal & masonry
