Chase top know-how for Colonial Town Center homeowners
Why a stock size seldom fits
Chases are framed to suit each house, and their sizes vary widely. A stock cover that is nearly right leaves a gap or an overhang somewhere, and its collar may not line up with the pipe. Our replacements are fabricated to measurements taken on your roof, with the collar placed at the pipe's measured center. Custom fabrication means a short wait between measuring and installation, which we explain when scheduling so you know what happens in between. The measurements are written on the order itself, so the fabricated cover can be checked against them before it goes up.
Planning ahead for a future fireplace change
If you are considering replacing the fireplace or changing what the chase serves, tell us before the cover is made. A new unit may use a different pipe diameter or position, and its collar needs to match. Building the cover for the current pipe and then cutting a new hole later weakens the sheet and invites leaks. When a change is firm, we plan the cover around it. When it is uncertain, we lay out the tradeoffs. The same goes for a planned reroof, since a thicker roof can change the height the pipe needs above the cover.
When only the cap needs replacing
Sometimes the cover is sound and the damage is limited to the termination cap, such as a rusted hood, a broken screen or missing fasteners. In that case the cover stays, and chimney cap replacement is the right job. We will not sell you a chase cover your chase does not need. The inspection separates the two, and the estimate prices only what is failing. The replacement cap must be the one listed for your chimney model. Replacing a sound cover just because the cap failed adds cost without adding protection.
Covers installed by a previous owner
When someone else installed the current cover, you may not know its metal, its age or who made it. We identify the material from its condition, check whether it was built for this chase or adapted from something else, and look for earlier repairs. That history helps explain the current problems. It does not change the goal, which is a cover made to your chase and to the instructions for the chimney system inside. If you have paperwork from the sale, a line about chimney or roof work can help us date the current cover.

What Colonial Town Center owners ask about chase covers
Can a rusted chase cover be patched?
A small, isolated defect can sometimes be repaired. A cover rusted through in several places keeps failing around each patch, so we explain which option fits your cover after seeing it.
Why is my new cover sloped instead of flat?
A flat sheet sags and holds rain, which wears the metal out from the middle. Creases or a pitch send water to the edges, and the fireplace manuals we follow call for the top to slope away from the pipe.
