Custom 15-Foot Metal Chimney Shroud Built From Scratch

Most chimney work is pretty straightforward. Standard cap, standard flashing, done. But every now and then a job comes along that throws the rulebook out the window - and honestly, those are the ones we enjoy most.

This chimney shroud came in at nearly 15 feet long. That's not something you pull off a shelf. A piece this size requires real planning up front - figuring out how to fabricate it so it holds its shape, sits level, and ties into the existing roofline without creating new problems. The metal roof on this home is already a premium system, so the shroud had to match that same standard.

What you end up with here is a fully custom dark metal shroud with a clean horizontal slat design, a flat cap with generous overhang, and tight integration with the chimney's stone base. Every corner is square, every panel sits flush. That kind of fit doesn't happen by accident - it comes from measuring twice and cutting smart.

Beyond the looks, a shroud like this is doing real work. It keeps water, debris, and animals out of the flue openings while also giving the chimney a finished, architectural look that ties the whole roofline together. On a home with a standing seam metal roof like this one, that visual consistency matters.

Not every roofing or chimney challenge fits a cookie-cutter solution. Some of the best work we do is the kind that requires us to slow down, think it through, and build something that didn't exist before. That's exactly what happened here.
