An open flue is a hole in the roof. Rain goes straight down it onto the smoke shelf and the damper, freezes and thaws in the crown through the winter, and birds and squirrels treat an uncapped clay tile as a ready-made nest box. Your Neighbor's Air Care measures the flue and fits a stainless cap sized to it, with a spark screen, while the crew is already on the roof for the sweep. The cap is the cheapest part of a chimney and the one that protects everything below it.

He was thorough, professional, and took the time to explain what he was doing without trying to upsell me on anything. He also gave me some helpful tips on maintaining everything and extending the life of the equipment. I really appreciated the honest and straightforward service!”
“Irakli is LOVELY and super helpful! He did great and thorough vent cleaning and advised me with my missing dryer vent (yea…I thought I had one). He took before and after pictures, shared them with me and negotiated a very fair rate for me. I will absolutely hire him again!”

Irakli Kvizhinadze. He owns and runs Your Neighbor's Air Care from Newburgh, New York, and drives this van to jobs from the Hudson Valley down to the boroughs. A call or a WhatsApp message reaches the business itself, not a call center passing your job to whoever is nearest.

Caps and chase covers from the crew's own jobs. The middle pair is one chimney, photographed before the cap went on and after.
Without one the flue takes rain and snow directly. Water on the smoke shelf rusts the damper, soaks into the masonry and then freezes and thaws through the winter, which is what cracks a crown. An open flue is also the most popular nesting site on the street for birds and squirrels, and a nest is both a blockage and a fire risk.
Rust streaks down the brickwork, a screen that has torn or gone missing, a cap sitting visibly crooked, or animals getting in. Your Neighbor's Air Care checks the cap and crown on every sweep from the roof and photographs what it finds, so you see it rather than take someone's word for it.
Yes, and that is the sensible way to do it. The crew is already on the roof with the flue open and measured, so there is no second visit and no second call-out.
No. Your Neighbor's Air Care is a cleaning company: sweeping, inspection, air ducts, dryer vents and fitting caps. Masonry repair, relining and rebuilding are not part of the service, and the crew will tell you plainly if that is what your chimney needs.
Your Neighbor's Air Care does chimney cap installation across NYC, Westchester and the Hudson Valley, including Cornwall and Cornwall-on-Hudson, Putnam County, Warwick, Highland Falls and Westchester County. Every other town it covers is on the full service area list.
