How our pros handle chase covers in Malibu Groves
A pitched or hipped top for wider chases
Wide chases, and chases with two pipes, can outgrow simple creases. A fabricated pitch, sometimes built as a shallow hip, gives the sheet a true slope from the collar out to each side. The Majestic installation manual we work from pitches the chase top downward, away from the pipe opening, by a quarter inch per foot or more. The shape we recommend follows the size of your chase, the number of openings and the instructions for the installed system.
Choosing a stainless steel chase cover
Stainless steel is the step up from galvanized for many owners. It resists rust without a coating that wears away, though grades differ in how they handle harsh exposure. Selection guidance from the International Molybdenum Association weighs factors such as sheltered horizontal surfaces and distance from salt water before recommending a grade. We explain the grade we propose for your chase top and why, and we pair it with stainless fasteners so the screws never become the weak point.
Working safely at the top of the chase
Chase covers are replaced at the roofline, often high on a two-story wall. Our crew brings the ladders and safety equipment the roof calls for and works from the roof surface beside the chase. Nobody stands on the new cover, which would dent the sheet and flatten its slope. Please do not climb up to measure it yourself. A description from the ground is all we need to plan the visit to your Malibu Groves home. If a storm or wet roof makes the work unsafe on the scheduled day, we move the date and tell you why.
Why the old cover is never used as a pattern
Tracing the old cover looks like a shortcut, yet a rusted, dented cover has usually moved from its original shape. Its collar may be off center, and it may have been undersized from the start. We measure the chase and the pipe position directly. The old cover is useful only as a record of what failed, such as where water pooled or which seam opened first. Those clues tell us where the new top needs more slope or a stronger seam.

Chase cover questions from Malibu Groves
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.
Do I need to be home for the work in Malibu Groves?
For the inspection, someone should let us look at the fireplace inside. Installation happens on the roof, so it can often be done while you are out, as long as access is arranged.
