Chimney Cap & Crown in Purchase, NY

On Purchase's mid-20th-century colonials and Tudors, concrete chimney crowns from the 1950s-1970s are now 50-70 years old and typically showing active hairline cracking from decades of freeze-thaw cycling. In the shaded wooded conditions of Purchase's large lots, a cracked crown allows moisture to work into masonry that stays more consistently moist than on open sunny properties — compounding the normal freeze-thaw damage cycle. A missing or failed cap on Purchase's wooded properties also provides access for the local wildlife that is active throughout the hamlet's tree-lined cul-de-sacs.
