Chase cover replacement by local pros in Lorna Doone

Measuring over the finished siding

The size that matters is the outside of the chase at the top, taken over the siding, stucco or trim. Framing dimensions are smaller by the thickness of every layer added later. A cover built to framing size sits inside the finish rather than lapping over it, and water runs into the joint. We measure each side at the top of your Lorna Doone chase, note where trim boards stand proud and size the skirt to clear the thickest point with room to fasten.

What we check while the top is open

The time the cover is off gives the only full view of the chase top, so we use it. Findings are recorded in writing, and anything outside the cover replacement is priced as its own item for you to approve or decline.

• The outer casing of the chimney pipe, for rust or damage
• The joints where pipe sections lock together
• The edges of the framing and sheathing at the top
• Debris, nests or wet insulation inside the enclosure

Scheduling the inspection and the installation

Chase cover work usually takes two visits. The first is the free inspection, where we measure, look at everything we can reach and write the estimate. The second is installation, after the cover has been fabricated to those measurements. Same-day service is available for many inspections in Lorna Doone, and we give you an expected fabrication window when you approve the work. If the old cover is leaking badly in the meantime, we talk through temporary protection. If you are comparing quotes, the free inspection gives you a written scope you can hold other proposals against.

A local family team on your roof

Orlando Chimney Service is family owned and locally owned. We explain chase top findings in plain words, and the details measured on your roof are the details written into the order for the new cover. When you have a question after the job, you reach the same local business that did the work, which keeps the follow-up simple. Our chase cover pros would rather answer a question twice than leave you unsure what was installed. That also means the people who stand behind the workmanship warranty are the same local business you called.
