Chase top know-how for Lake Cherokee homeowners
Tracing rust streaks on the chase siding
Orange streaks on the siding below the top are the sign owners tend to spot first. They usually start at the edge of a rusting cover, but screws, the storm collar and a rusting cap leave similar marks. We trace each streak to its starting point before recommending work. If the cover is the source, replacement stops new staining. Old streaks may need cleaning or paint, which we list apart from the metal work so the scope stays clear.
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.
Getting the chase top ready before storm season
The Atlantic hurricane season, as the National Hurricane Center defines it, runs from June 1 through November 30. A cover with rusted screws, a lifted corner or a loose storm collar is easier to deal with before then. A pre-season inspection lets us secure or replace what is loose, and it leaves you a written note of the chase top's condition. If a storm has already damaged the cover on your Lake Cherokee home, our 24/7 emergency line can help you plan the next step.
What decides how long a new cover lasts
No honest contractor can promise a fixed lifespan for a chase cover. Metal choice, thickness, shape, fastener compatibility, overhanging trees and how often the top gets checked all play a part. A well-shaped stainless cover with matching fasteners generally holds up better than a flat galvanized sheet, and even a good cover benefits from an occasional look. We leave care notes with the installation record, including what to look for from the ground after a strong storm. A cover that has lasted many years can still fail quickly once the zinc or sealant gives out, so age alone proves little.
