McKinney’s three housing eras each generate cap calls for different reasons. **Historic 75069 (1880-1930 stock).** Original chimney terminations on these homes were often clay or simple sheet-metal hoods, many of which have either been replaced once or twice over the past 100+ years or have weathered well past failure. We see a steady stream of historic homeowners wanting a period-appropriate copper cap — both for water protection and for visual integrity with the historic envelope. **Stonebridge Ranch and modern subdivision stock (75070, 75072).** Built mostly 1995-2010 with galvanized chase covers and stainless single-flue caps. The galvanized chase covers are now reaching age-out — 12-18 year service life in DFW, exactly where the early Stonebridge builds are now. Replacement is a steady weekly workload. **Newer 75071 west-side master-planned (2010-present).** Mostly prefab with chase covers in the 5-15 year age band. Hail damage drives most of these calls — McKinney sits in the active DFW hail corridor and we ran a major surge of cap and chase cover replacements after the April 2025 storm in particular. The hail factor matters a lot here. McKinney has been hit hard in spring storms in 2019, 2021 and 2025. We document failure mode, before-and-after, and itemized invoices for adjusters — same-day in most ZIPs. —What is included in our McKinney cap replacement

**Q: My historic downtown McKinney home needs a copper cap — how does fabrication work?** A: We measure on-site, send dimensions to a regional copper fabricator we have worked with for years, and the cap typically arrives in 5-10 business days. We then install same-day. Profile, dimension and patina are matched to your existing chimney. **Q: Do you handle McKinney insurance hail claims?** A: Yes. We provide failure-mode notes, before-and-after photos, itemized invoice. McKinney hail-claim caps and chase covers are a high-volume part of our spring schedule. **Q: My Stonebridge chase cover is rusty — how urgent?** A: Replace before the next heavy rain. Once the seams lose seal, water inside the prefab chase rots framing and damages refractory panels. The chase cover is cheaper than the consequences. **Q: Does the city of McKinney require any permits for chimney cap work?** A: No — chimney caps and chase covers are routine maintenance and don’t require permits in McKinney for residential repair. **Q: Will the new cap stop animal entry in my 75070 chimney?** A: Yes — 1/2-inch 304 stainless mesh on a properly mounted cap or chase cover blocks all chimney-relevant animals. —Customer review — McKinney
> “Live in a beautifully restored 1898 craftsman in the historic district. The original sheet-metal cap had finally given up — visible holes, bird had nested. Most chimney companies wanted to install a stainless ‘utilitarian’ cap that would have looked completely wrong on a heritage home. TCE came out, measured the chimney, sourced a custom hammered copper cap, installed it 8 days later. Looks period-correct, sheds water perfectly, and the price was fair for what it is. Genuine craftsmanship from a company that understood the assignment.” — *E. Whittaker, McKinney 75069* —CTA
