Your chimney chase is one of the most visible elements on your roofline—and one of the most exposed to Tahoe’s punishing weather. A custom chimney shroud from Mountain Metal Works protects that structure while giving your home a clean, finished appearance that complements mountain architecture.
Unlike a chimney cap that simply covers the flue opening, a shroud wraps around the entire chase, concealing pipes, flues, and framing behind a seamless metal enclosure. The result is better protection from snow, rain, and UV exposure—and a much cleaner look from the street.
We fabricate shrouds from galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper, with optional Kynar or powder-coated finishes for lasting color and corrosion resistance. Every shroud is built to handle Sierra snowpack and stand up to decades of freeze-thaw cycles and intense summer sun.
Because every chimney is different, we custom-fabricate each shroud to your exact dimensions. Choose the material, finish, and design details—whether you want a low-profile modern look or something that matches existing metalwork on your home.
