Our approach to chase covers in Coytown
Gaps that let animals into the chase
A cover that no longer fits tightly, a skirt pulled away from the siding or a missing storm collar can leave openings at the top of the chase. Birds, squirrels and other animals use such gaps to reach the enclosure. If you have heard activity, tell us before any work, because an occupied space has to be handled before it is closed. Once the chase is clear, the new cover and a sound cap close the entry points.
Painting a new cover to match the house
Some owners want the chase top to match the roof or trim color. Stainless and copper are usually left unpainted. Galvanized steel can be painted, but zinc needs the right primer or the paint may peel. If color matters to you, tell us early. We explain which metals take paint well, whether a factory-coated sheet is available and how painting affects the schedule. Paint on the skirt should stop short of the collar, where heat from the pipe can blister it.
A cover that sits inside the siding
Some leaks come from a cover that was simply made too small. Instead of lapping over the siding, the skirt sits inside it or stops short, and water enters at the joint. This happens when measurements were taken off the framing, or when the chase was re-sided after the cover went on. We compare the cover's size to the finished chase and, if it falls short, specify a new one to the outside dimensions. An undersized cover sometimes gets a strip of flashing added around it, which only adds more joints that can leak.
A level bearing surface for the new cover
A new cover needs a flat, level surface at the top of the chase to seat on. If the top plates have sagged or twisted, the cover rocks, and its slope ends up off. We check the top for level once the old cover is removed. Minor unevenness can be shimmed with suitable material, while a sagging top that needs reframing is chase repair and is priced on its own. A level top also keeps the drip edge at an even height all the way around, which is how it sheds water cleanly.

Before you replace a chase top in Coytown
How long does chase cover replacement take?
It usually takes two visits. We measure at the free inspection, the cover is fabricated to those measurements, and installation follows once it is ready. You get a timeline when you approve the work.
What if the wood under my Coytown chase cover is rotten?
We stop, show you what we found and write up the framing repair as a separate item. Nothing is added to your bill until you approve it.
