Chase cover work on Lake Holden roofs
Chases finished with fiber cement or wood siding
Fiber cement and wood lap siding create a stepped outline at the top of the chase. The skirt has to reach below the high points of that profile, and corner trim boards often stand proud of the siding. We measure at the widest points so the cover laps over the finish on every side. Where wood trim at the top has softened, we record it before the new cover goes on, because fastening into soft trim does not hold.
Community rules on exterior colors
If your neighborhood has an association that reviews exterior changes, a visible chase cover may fall under those rules, especially when the color changes. Check before approving a new finish. We can put the metal and finish details in writing to support an approval request. A like-for-like replacement in the same color may need no review at all, though the association is the one to confirm that. Allow for the review time when you plan the installation date.
Screws through the top surface
Screws driven down through the flat of a chase cover invite leaks. Each one is a hole in the part of the cover that sees the heaviest water, and their rubber washers age in the sun. When we find them, the new cover is fastened through the skirt only. If the old screws went into the framing, the holes are checked for moisture while the top is open. Sealant dabbed over each screw head helps for a while, then cracks and lets water in again around the shank.
Checking the cap screen while we are up there
Many termination caps carry a screen that keeps animals and debris out of the pipe. Since the cap comes off during a cover replacement, we look at its screen at the same time. A screen torn open, rusted through or packed with debris is noted with a recommendation. Cleaning or replacing the listed cap is its own item, so you can approve it along with the cover or leave it for later. A clear screen also matters for the chimney's draft, so a blocked one is worth fixing even without animal trouble.

Your Lake Holden chase cover questions, answered
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.
Will you reuse my existing chimney cap?
If the cap is sound and is the one listed for your chimney, yes. We lift it off, replace the cover and reinstall it. If it is damaged, we quote the listed replacement instead.
