What goes into a new chase top in Mills 50
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.
Dents from falling limbs
A branch that lands on a chase top can dent the sheet, flatten the collar or knock the storm collar out of place. Even a small dent can reverse the slope and create a low spot. After a limb strike, look from the ground for bent edges or a tilted cap, then call for an inspection. We check whether the pipe and cap were affected too, since an impact strong enough to dent the cover may have shifted them.
A look at the chase top before the burning season
If you use the fireplace when the weather cools, have the chase top looked at beforehand. A cover problem found early can be fixed on your schedule, before a fire is lit in a system that has been taking on water. NFPA 211 calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected annually, and on a factory-built system the chase top belongs in that yearly look. A yearly check catches a failing cover before it shows up as a stained ceiling.
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.

Before you replace a chase top in Mills 50
What if the wood under my Mills 50 chase cover is rotten?
We stop, show you what we found and write up the framing repair as a separate item. Nothing is added to your bill until you approve it.
Why is my new cover sloped instead of flat?
A flat sheet sags and holds rain, which wears the metal out from the middle. Creases or a pitch send water to the edges, and the fireplace manuals we follow call for the top to slope away from the pipe.
