Update: Hit 500 chimney caps installed this season

Just tallied my jobs from spring to now and realized I've put on 500 caps since March. That's way more than my usual 300-350 for the same period. I think it's because of all the new builds in the suburbs around here, plus more people getting inspections after those big storms. It's not just about the number, it means I'm seeing way more blockages from animals early on. Anyone else noticing a big jump in cap jobs this year?

500 caps since March? That's a whole other level of busy.

That tracks with the insane amount of new construction in my area too.

Honestly, is that 500 just for new builds or does it include replacements too? Jessica130 is right about the new construction boom, but I'm seeing way more older homes finally getting caps after years without. Tbh the animal blockages you mentioned are getting worse every year, it's not just a new build issue anymore.
