This client
Jon Holt had us build them a custom copper chimney cap for
their house. It also has a finial/weathervane mount built
into the roof. He also wanted these 390 copper domes added
to the roof edge and base skirt. This weighs 320#. The cost for this was
$9,723.58 total installed. The crane cost was only
$360 for their 2 hour minimum charge, since this only took
them 15 minutes.

This
client had us build our first cypress swoop style copper
chimney cap. This was for Rosa and Felix Landry of Abita
Springs, Louisianna. The inside base is 37.5" x 60.5".
They also wanted these bird figures to be removable, while
being able to withstanding near hurricane wind forces, which
greatly increased the complexity of this design and
fabrication, but we are up for challenges like this.
 Hidden inside the wings we have a curved 3/4" and a 1.5" copper pipe run through the torso for support, and they are clad with 2 layers of a thicker 32oz copper for better strength. This weighs 393.1# in all. The cost for this was $18,000 total delivered.

 This 3 piece project was for Thomas J. Hudak, Jr. in Norfolk Virginia for their stately home they had been carefully restoring. These were originally quoted to cost $6.5k each delivered. Although, in this case a few design modifications were made after that, so the cost was based on the actual weight of the copper once completed, which made these $7.7k each delivered, for a total cost of $23.2k for this 3 piece project.   Cost: $23,217.71 delivered to Norfolk, Virginia

their backyard fireplace.
Here is a side-by-side comparison of
the lamp we were contracted to emulate. How do you thiunk we

of the cross bracing overf the spark arrest screen; without looking too
different. Cost: $4,518.50 delivered to Avon, Conneticut $420 per ln'. Final weight 121.6# (base ISD: 27.5" X 35.5", or covers 6.8 sq')

I just wanted to let you know that the chimney cap did arrive (last Friday). I have not yet installed it (we had snow on the ground when it arrived and got another 6 inches yesterday so it may be a little bit), but I did open the crate and take it out. It is better than I hoped. You did a terrific job. I will definitely send you pictures once it goes up, but in the interim I wanted to make sure you knew I received it, and how pleased I am with the result. I showed it to some friends while it was out of the crate (I have since put it back in so it is still brand new when I finally am able to install it), and they said “wow, that looks awesome – it really matches your lanterns” (I had not told them that the inspiration for the design was the lanterns. You nailed it. Thanks very much. Bob Mileys Sent: Saturday, May 4, 2019 Put up the chimney cap! Had snow on the ground until mid March, then rain every weekend. Looks and fits great. Thanks very much. Very happy with how it came out. Click on this image to see all 50 fabrication and installation photos:  |

 This chimney cap project
was custom designed and made to
go over their
backyard fireplace for Craig & Kimbery Boretsky in Azle, Texas.
The inside measure of this base skirt is 35.5" X 44.5". This is our Tuscany arch style w/double tier base and a 10/12 hipped roof. They wanted a squared off trim around the corner columns. The roof is 3" wider than the base on each side. I had also provided them with a copper dome gazebo roof peak cap to top off their 4 sided gazebo next to the fireplace. Cost: $5,801.39 delivered to Azle, Texas $371 per ln', or $29 per pound + crate and freight. Final weight 203.6# Follow this

This was made for Mark and Katie Rumer. Designed with an
extra wide 6" eave past the base on all 4 sides made in a
fairly plain style that was based on the Fultz project they
liked, which I had done back in 2006. This has a 5/12 pitch
roof top to match their house roof. The spark arrest screen
needed to be rather tall to accomodate their flue dampers
inside this.

We were rather jazzed to be working this amazing backyard chimney cap project with a tapered base skirt, which is a combination of several of our chimney cap design features. This has a 44" X 76" wide base at the bottom edges, with a 54" X 85" roof size made for Dr. Adam Andrews in Columbia Missouri. This is a Greek column style, Tuscan arch, concave standing seam hipped roof w/a weathervane support & Landing Duck weathervane.

Alma,
Colorado
(3/18)
Jill Wick of
Alma Colorado asked us to figure out a better looking cover for
their plain flue pipe protruding up out of the front roof, so
here is what we came up with after patiently going over dozens
of options. The cost with crate and freight was $2,309 total.
.
The weights for this project of 48.8# in all. Less 2# for the
weight of the 4.55 sq' of SS screen = 46.8# copper weight. Based
on the same price of $35 per pound that I had originally quoted
them clear back in October 21 of 2013 4.5 years ago:
$721
for the 20.6# of the base piece X $35
+ $378 for the 10.8# of
the flue piece w/2 decorative rings X $35
+ $539 for the
15.4# of the copper in the weather-head piece X $35
+ $91 for
the 4.55 sq' of the stainless steel screen X $20

the crates, packing, and freight
= $2,309 total delivered.

Kansas
City, Missouri
(2/18)
This cute project was
for their back patio fireplace flue liner weather-head made for
Craig & Susan in Kansas City, MO. This is a simplified Tuscany
arch style cover with a few improvements from my previous
designs: tapered eave with hidden rivets in the corners, and I
made a copper covered wood spacer to form this another 3" wider
than their 13" wide flue liner and make a better attachment
without the risk of cracking their terracotta flue liner, which
was only protruding 2.5" above the top. I also used a thicker
24oz copper for the roof top cover, since there is no internal
bracing.

Tahoe, Nevada. They are made to resemble a unique project I had
done back in 2004 for a local client. Although, this project is
