Chase cover details for Lake Dot homes
Coordinating with a roofer
The chase cover and the roof meet only at the base of the chase, where flashing ties the enclosure into the roof. During a reroof, that base flashing is usually redone by the roofer, while the cover at the top is a separate component. Scheduling the cover just before or right after the roof work avoids extra foot traffic on new shingles. We coordinate timing with your roofer and keep each contractor's scope in writing. If the roofer is already scheduled, tell us the dates so the cover can be measured before the old roof comes off.
A cover that rattles or booms in wind
A drumming or rattling noise near the chimney on windy days can come from a chase cover that has loosened or lost its stiffness. Loose screws, a warped sheet or a skirt pulled away from the siding let the metal move. Besides the noise, the movement widens screw holes and breaks sealant. We check whether your existing cover can be refastened or needs replacement, and the estimate explains which and why. A rattling cover can also loosen the storm collar above it, so we check that part at the same time.
Chases that sit near a gutter or valley
A chase built at an eave or beside a roof valley has extra water running past its base, and splashback can wet the lower siding. The cover at the top is unaffected by that runoff, but the enclosure as a whole is. While inspecting the chase top, we also note where roof water flows around the chase, so any recommendation for diverting it or for flashing work is written up apart from the cover. Water that splashes back onto the lower siding can look like a chase cover leak, which is why we check both ends.
Timing the cover with exterior painting
If the house is due for exterior paint, replace the chase cover first. The new skirt and drip edge change how the top of the chase looks and where water runs, and painters can then finish the siding right up to the new metal. Painting first and replacing the cover afterward risks scuffs and fastener holes in fresh paint. We are glad to share our schedule with your painter. If the painters are already booked, we can often fit the cover work in the days before they start.

Chase cover questions from Lake Dot
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.
Can the rust stains on my siding be cleaned?
They can often be lightened, and that work is separate from replacing the cover. We list stain cleaning or touch-up paint on its own line so you can decide whether to include it.
