Chase cover details for Falcon Trace homes
Removing roofing tar and old patches
Some older covers are coated in roofing tar or several layers of sealant by the time we see them. That coating hides the real condition of the metal and can trap water against it. Removal takes longer than lifting a clean cover, and the damage beneath can be worse than the surface suggests. We tell you in advance when a tar-coated top is likely to need extra labor, so the price you approve reflects the job as it really is.
Working safely at the top of the chase
Chase covers are replaced at the roofline, often high on a two-story wall. Our crew brings the ladders and safety equipment the roof calls for and works from the roof surface beside the chase. Nobody stands on the new cover, which would dent the sheet and flatten its slope. Please do not climb up to measure it yourself. A description from the ground is all we need to plan the visit to your Falcon Trace home. If a storm or wet roof makes the work unsafe on the scheduled day, we move the date and tell you why.
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.
When the pipe sits off center in the chase
Few chimney pipes rise exactly through the middle of the chase. Framing, offsets and elbows in the pipe route shift the termination toward one side or corner. The new collar goes where the pipe actually is, measured from two sides of the chase. We also shape the slope so water drains away from an off-center pipe on the short side as well as the long side. On a narrow chase, that can mean a pitched top rather than simple cross-breaks.

Do I need to be home for the work in Falcon Trace?
For the inspection, someone should let us look at the fireplace inside. Installation happens on the roof, so it can often be done while you are out, as long as access is arranged.
