Our approach to chase covers in Mount Plymouth Lakes
Fastening the cover through its skirt
A chase cover is held by fasteners through its skirt into the framing on the sides of the chase, where water runs past instead of sitting. Spacing them evenly on every side keeps the skirt tight to the wall along its full length. Manufacturer instructions we have read also call for noncombustible spacers at the corners beneath the chase top. We use fasteners compatible with the cover metal and place them where the manual for your system puts them.
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.
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.
Steep roofs and difficult access
Steep and tile roofs take extra care to reach the chase without damaging the roof itself, and clay or concrete tiles crack under unsupported foot traffic. When your roof needs special access, we say so during the inspection, plan the approach and include any added time in the estimate, so there are no surprises on installation day. Where the roof is too steep to walk safely, the work is planned from ladders and roof brackets set for that pitch.

Asked in Mount Plymouth Lakes about chase cover replacement
What is the difference between a chase cover and a chimney cap?
The chase cover is the broad metal lid over the framed enclosure. The cap is the smaller hooded part on the chimney pipe. Either can rust, and we identify which one needs work before quoting.
Is the chase cover work guaranteed?
Every chase cover we fit comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and finished work that is not right brings us back to fix it.
