Metal
Chimney Cap

Protecting a roof in Middle Tennessee starts with getting the details right at every penetration. A well-built chimney cap keeps rain out, resists wind, blocks wildlife, and preserves masonry so the rest of the roof can do its job. The Metal Roofers fabricates and installs custom metal chimney caps for Nashville and the surrounding counties, designed to integrate cleanly with standing seam and metal-shingle systems and to perform through summer storms, freeze-thaw cycles, and humid seasons. Our caps are measured on site, designed around your flue size and chimney type, and built from architectural metals that match or complement your roof finish. We make caps for masonry chimneys, decorative shrouds and spark arrestor screens for wood-burning flues, and chase covers for factory-built units, all tailored to the profile and color of your metal roof so the assembly looks intentional instead of added on.
The process begins with a site visit and precise measurement. We look at roof pitch, prevailing wind, chimney condition, and how the existing flashing ties into the roof system. If you have a metal roof, we map seam locations, rib heights, and any snow-retention or cricket requirements so the new cap will not disrupt water flow. For shingle roofs slated for a future metal upgrade, we design the cap to be compatible with that next step.

Material selection comes next. Most Nashville homeowners choose 24-gauge steel with a factory-applied PVDF finish for color stability and corrosion resistance.  Copper is the premium selection when the goal is a timeless look that will patina gracefully and outlast most other building materials. For screens and spark arrestors we use stainless steel mesh sized to meet typical manufacturer guidance for ember control while maintaining proper draft. All fasteners are stainless or coated to prevent galvanic reactions with the chosen metal.

We measure and design custom metal chimney caps in Nashville for a watertight, draft-correct fit

We take precise on-roof measurements, including flue size, crown or chase dimensions, roof pitch, and seam layout, so your chimney cap seals tight, drafts correctly, and looks like it belongs. Our technicians document prevailing wind and rain exposure unique to Nashville neighborhoods, then design clear water paths that keep runoff off the masonry and away from seams. We verify mortar condition, flashing terminations, and any existing crickets so the new cap integrates cleanly without creating backup points. If you are planning a shingle-to-metal conversion, we size stand-offs and collars now so the cap remains compatible later. The result is a custom cap that fits the roof you have today and the roof you will have tomorrow, built for Middle Tennessee weather.

We fabricate each chimney cap in Middle Tennessee from premium steel, aluminum, or copper and color-match it to your metal roof

Fabricated in our Nashville-area shop from 24-gauge steel, aluminum, or copper with Kynar (PVDF) finishes, each cap is color-matched to popular local palettes like matte black, charcoal, and dark bronze. We isolate dissimilar metals with proper gaskets and specify stainless fasteners and stainless mesh to prevent staining and galvanic corrosion over time. Copper options receive fully soldered seams for long life and a graceful patina, while aluminum is a smart choice for larger spans or coastal exposure. Steel brings crisp lines and strong color stability in Tennessee sun and humidity. Whatever you choose, we build to thickness, finish, and hardware standards that keep the cap looking clean and performing for years.

Galvanized Steel Shingles Combine Strength with Advanced Protective Coatings.

While steel roofing can be susceptible to rust in raw form, modern galvanizing methods combat this vulnerability through the application of zinc or zinc-aluminum alloys. These galvanic coatings shield the steel core from direct contact with water and oxygen, halting the corrosion process before it can begin. Beyond this base layer, topcoat systems featuring high-performance paints or resin-based finishes add a further layer of defense against UV exposure. This dual-level protection enables galvanized steel shingles to maintain rigidity under heavy snow loads and powerful wind gusts. Homeowners benefit from the best of both worlds: steel’s sheer durability and a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant exterior.

Interlocking Metal Shingle Panels Create a Tight, Weather-Resistant Seal on the Roof.

A hallmark of many metal shingle designs is the interlocking mechanism that secures each panel on all sides. These joints effectively reduce the number of exposed fasteners, a common entry point for water in other roofing systems. By sealing off potential weak spots, interlocking shingles help prevent leaks and offer superior defense against wind-driven rain or snow. Additionally, concealed fasteners contribute to a cohesive, seamless appearance, elevating both curb appeal and functional performance. This interlock style is particularly advantageous in climates where storms are frequent, as the shingles work together as a unified barrier to keep moisture from penetrating the roof deck.

We engineer chimney caps to shed water, preserve flue draft, and stay quiet through Nashville wind and storms

Brake-formed lids with cross-breaks, hemmed drip edges, raised seams, and concealed stiffeners move water decisively and resist oil-canning. Stand-off collars and properly sized spark-arrestor screens protect the flue while preserving draft, so smoke goes up instead of back into the living space even when storms push gusty crosswinds. We set slopes and overhangs to keep water off the chimney face and away from vulnerable joints, then anchor the assembly to handle uplift without rattles. Internal reinforcements control vibration, and smooth transitions prevent whistling at the cap. It is the difference between a cover that merely sits there and a cap that works with your roof system every day.

We install chimney caps correctly in Nashville and stand behind them with a lifetime workmanship warranty and responsive local service

Our crew removes failing caps, assesses the crown or chase, and coordinates any needed masonry touch-ups before setting the new assembly, so we are not sealing over problems. Flashing ties back into the roof with butyl underlayment and high-temperature sealants where appropriate, fasteners land in structure and not in caulk, and seams realign so water flows where it should. We finish with a thorough alignment and leak check, confirm draft, and tidy the work area so the chimney looks original to the home. After install, you have a clear maintenance plan and a Nashville team you can call. Every cap is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty and supported by prompt local service across Middle Tennessee.
