Chase cover work on Lake Pickett roofs
Skirt depth and the drip edge
The skirt is the cover's bent-down edge that wraps over the top of each chase wall. It must reach past the top edge of the siding so wind-driven rain cannot blow up under it. At the bottom, a drip edge kicks outward so water falls clear instead of running back along the metal into the wall. Fireplace manuals list a turndown and drip edge as required parts of a chase top, and we set the skirt depth after seeing the wall finish at the top of your chase.
Copper covers and metal compatibility
Copper chase covers are chosen mostly for appearance, and they weather from bright metal toward brown and eventually green. Copper should not touch or drain onto galvanized parts, because the zinc coating is used up faster in contact with other metals, as the American Galvanizers Association explains. If copper is your choice, we check what it will touch, including the storm collar, flashing and fasteners, and specify compatible parts so the upgrade does not shorten the life of its neighbors.
Water testing the finished cover
Where the roof gives safe footing, we run water over the new cover after installation and watch where it goes. Water should leave every edge and drip clear of the siding, with nothing pooling near the collar. This check confirms the slope and skirt are doing their job before we pack up. If anything looks wrong, it is corrected on the same visit, while the tools and materials are still on your Lake Pickett roof. We also look at the siding below the chase once the water runs, since that is where a poor drip edge shows first.
If more damage appears after removal
Some damage stays hidden until the old cover comes off, so we explain before work starts how that situation is handled. If we find wet or rotted wood, we stop, show you the finding and write up the added repair for your approval before continuing. Nothing is added to the bill without your agreement. That process keeps the approved scope honest when the top of your Lake Pickett chase turns out worse than it looked from the roof. You can also decide in advance how much added repair we may proceed with before stopping to ask again.
