Nelson 24oz Copper Chimney Caps
Woodburn, Oregon (6/25)

Blake & Savannah Nelson in Woodburn Oregon had contacted me through a design firm: Brandalyn Designs on 2/20/25. We worked out the design and cost for both custom chimney caps: $19k delivered and installed.

As far as I have seen, no other sheet metal shop builds a framework inside their roof covers. It's just left hollow.

Solari - 24oz Copper Chimney Caps
Pittsboro, Oregon (4/24)

Edward in Oregon wanted us to create this set of 2 chimney caps for him back in late 2013. Here is the set of fabrication photos that I shared with Ed along the way, which I had yet to post until more recently. A decade later, he contracted with us to make him a taller chimney cap replacement to improve the draw.

I have since gotten a lot of inquiries about this set, since the cost was less than most projects, given there was no crate or freight charge. Given this client was local and was able to install them himself.

Talty 24oz Copper Chimney Cap & Flag/Finial
Chagrin Falls, Ohio (2/23)

I had made an elaborate mailbox for Joe Talty just last year, and he also wanted this small chimney cap. Torrin ran lead on this project. Originally this was to be shaped like an old fashion school bell tower with a real brass bell. We discussed different styles and options for several months. Then he decided to scrap that idea and go with one of our most popular Tuscany arch designs with a rotating flag finial added. He may still do the school bell tower as a cupola on his upper roof. This cost $4,927.56 delivered to Chagrin Falls Ohio.
