This page is for homeowners who already have HeatShield components on their chimney and need them repaired or replaced right. Maybe the cap blew off in a Valley wind, or the crown is cracking where the masonry meets the flue. We’re Hearthstone Chimney Co., and we’ve been working on Roanoke chimneys since 1984. Call us at (540) 787-3302 for a free estimate.

How HeatShield Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• HeatShield ProLiner multi-flue caps: The stainless mesh on ProLiner caps can sag after 8-12 years in Roanoke’s freeze-thaw cycles, especially on homes in Grandin or South Roanoke where mature trees drop acidic debris that accelerates corrosion. We replace with matching-gauge mesh or upgrade to a Gelco cap if the frame is still sound, documenting the choice with photos you’ll see.
• HeatShield Cerfractory crown coatings: The Cerfractory slurry shrinks as it cures, and in Roanoke’s hard rains we’ve seen hairline cracks reopen within three years if the original prep skipped the bonding agent. We grind back to sound concrete, reapply with the manufacturer’s specified primer, and add a second flood coat on south-facing crowns that take the worst thermal shock.
• HeatShield single-flue caps with internal clamp bands: The 304-grade band loosens as the flue tile expands and contracts through Virginia summers. On older homes along Franklin Road, we’ve found bands rust-welded to the flue. We cut them free without damaging the flue lip, then fit a new cap with an adjustable band or step-flashing depending on what the tile condition allows.
• HeatShield UL-listed chase covers on prefab chimneys: The factory sealant bead at the storm collar fails predictably at year 10-14, letting water run behind the cover and rot the chase top. We remove the cover, inspect the wood beneath, reseal with a high-temp silicone rated for chimney use, and replace the cover only if the metal itself has pinholed.
• HeatShield custom wind-directional caps: The rotating collar seizes after seasons of pollen and creosote buildup, common in Roanoke’s oak-hickory canopy. We disassemble, clean the spindle and bushing, and only replace the rotating assembly if the housing casting is cracked. Most of the time, a thorough cleaning and graphite lube returns full function.

Our HeatShield Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule: A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We ask for your chimney’s approximate age, the HeatShield component type if you know it, and what you’re seeing. We book a time window and stick to it.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection: Our technician arrives uniformed and background-checked, sets up the camera, and documents the flue, crown, and cap condition. You see the photos on a tablet before any work is discussed.
3. 3
   Parts decision: If the HeatShield part is still manufactured, we quote OEM. If it’s discontinued or the lead time is unreasonable, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent from our DuraFlex, Gelco, or Olympia Chimney inventory and explain the trade-off in writing.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement: Most jobs finish in one visit. Crown coatings cure for 24 hours before firing, so we schedule those around your burning schedule. Cap swaps are same-day.
5. 5
   Post-work test and documentation: We run a draft test, verify cap clearance, and email you photos of the completed work with a plain-English summary.
6. 6
   90-Day Done Right Promise: If anything’s not right, we come back. In writing, no arguing.

Why Roanoke Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for HeatShield Work

We’ve been on roofs in Roanoke since 1984, and that repetition matters. Russell Haines and our crew know which HeatShield vintages used which fasteners, which parts cross to Gelco or DuraFlex when HeatShield discontinues a line, and how the Valley’s wind patterns test cap anchoring differently than coastal Virginia.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, not a handshake. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict. No-hassle upfront pricing. A live person answers the phone every hour of every day. We’re not the cheapest outfit in town, and we don’t try to be. We’re the ones who do it right so you don’t think about it again.

A clean chimney doesn’t announce itself. Neither does a problem - until it does.
