We’ve been dispatching crews to Upper Nazareth from our Philadelphia office for decades, and we’ve learned something about this township that changes how we approach every call. Upper Nazareth’s explosive growth from the 1990s through the 2010s built entire neighborhoods of colonial and cape-style tract homes, nearly all equipped with factory-built zero-clearance fireplaces instead of traditional masonry chimneys. That means when we get a call from a homeowner off Georgetown Road or near the township’s rural edges, we’re not usually pouring a concrete crown on a brick stack. We’re measuring a prefabricated chase, matching a manufacturer-specific termination cap, or replacing a rusted chase cover that has been shedding Lehigh Valley freeze-thaw water into a firebox for two winters. Our Chimney Cap & Crown technicians carry the parts and the know-how for both worlds, but the job profile here is different than in Nazareth Borough next door, and we price it accordingly.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Upper Nazareth’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company

We’ve answered calls from Upper Nazareth homeowners for over 42 years. In that time, we’ve replaced chase covers on subdivisions built during the 2003 building surge and sealed masonry crowns on stone farm chimneys that predate the township’s incorporation. The reviews we receive from Upper Nazareth customers mention the same things repeatedly: our technician showed up in a marked truck, explained what was wrong with photos they could see, and the price matched the estimate exactly.

Our response time to Upper Nazareth is typically next-day or within 48 hours during peak season, because our crews know the local road network and we stock common prefab termination caps and chase covers for the brands installed during the township’s building boom. We don’t subcontract. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with the parts already on the truck, and most jobs finish in one visit.

What separates us from the one-truck operators and the national chains is documentation. Every Level-2 inspection ends with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. If we find a cracked refractory panel beneath that rusted chase cover, we show you the photo before we recommend anything. Nothing gets suggested without camera evidence, and we’ll tell you straight when work can safely wait.

Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Upper Nazareth

Custom Cap Fabrication & Installation

Factory-built fireplaces were installed in Upper Nazareth homes with termination caps sized to specific manufacturer models. After twenty years, those original caps corrode or blow off in Lehigh Valley wind, and homeowners often replace them with generic big-box caps that don’t match the flue diameter or draft requirements. We fabricate and install custom caps matched to your specific zero-clearance unit, using measurements taken from a Level-2 camera inspection. A proper fit matters. The wrong cap chokes draft, accelerates creosote buildup in those narrower prefab flues, and can void what remains of your unit’s UL listing.

Multi-Flue Cap Systems

Some Upper Nazareth homes, particularly the larger colonials built in the mid-2000s, were fitted with multi-flue prefabricated chases serving two or more fireplaces. A single chase cover failure dumps water onto multiple fireboxes. We install multi-flue cap systems that protect the entire chase top, sized to the exact footprint of your prefab chimney. These systems are built from stainless steel or copper, not the galvanized steel that rusted through in the first place, and they’re secured with proper storm collars that survive the freeze-thaw cycling that destroys builder-grade installations.

Crown Repair for Masonry Chimneys

The smaller number of older farmsteads on Upper Nazareth’s rural edges still rely on original brick or stone masonry chimneys with poured concrete crowns. These crowns crack, spall, and shed pieces onto the roof after decades of Lehigh Valley winters. We repair masonry crowns with professional-grade crown coating materials, not caulk or mortar patches that fail in eighteen months. The repair includes proper drip edges, slope correction to shed water, and a sealant rated for sustained below-freezing exposure. For crowns too far gone, we rebuild and pour new.

Crown Coating & Preventive Sealing

Crown coating is the preventive service that saves Upper Nazareth masonry chimney owners from a full rebuild. We apply a flexible, waterproof crown coating that bridges hairline cracks and prevents water intrusion during the freeze-thaw cycles that run from December through February. The coating is breathable, so trapped moisture escapes, and it’s backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Applied before significant cracking develops, crown coating can add a decade of service life to a sound masonry crown at a fraction of replacement cost.

Trusted Brands We Service in Upper Nazareth

We stock parts from Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield because these are the brands that hold up in Lehigh Valley conditions, not the builder-grade substitutes that fail inside of ten years. For Upper Nazareth’s prefabricated fireplaces, we carry termination caps and chase covers matched to common zero-clearance models installed during the 1990s-2010s building surge. That local inventory means faster turnaround. We don’t order parts and make you wait two weeks. We measure, we match, and we install, usually in the same appointment. Every part we use meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, and we document the brand and model in your service record for future reference.

Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Upper Nazareth Homes

• Rusted-through chase covers on 20-30 year old prefab chases. Lehigh Valley freeze-thaw cycling destroys galvanized steel chase covers installed during the township’s building boom. Water drips directly onto refractory panels and triple-wall flue sections, causing damage owners don’t discover until a Level-2 inspection reveals it.
• Generic replacement caps that don’t match the original zero-clearance fireplace model. Homeowners or prior contractors install big-box caps with wrong flue diameters, degrading draft and accelerating creosote buildup in prefab units already prone to glazing from low-temperature shoulder-season burns.
• Spalling and cracking on prefab chimney crowns while the rest of the unit looks new. The chase-top seal fails first, but because the siding and fireplace surround still appear fine, no one schedules the inspection that would catch water intrusion before it reaches the firebox.
• Failed firestop spacers and deteriorated refractory panels hidden beneath intact-looking caps. In Upper Nazareth’s subdivision neighborhoods, we regularly find homeowners who have never scheduled a chimney cleaning because they assume a “newer” prefab fireplace is low-maintenance, only to discover the internal components have reached end of service life.
