Getting the chase top right in Richmond Estates
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.
Covers on chases with vinyl siding
Vinyl siding expands and contracts with temperature more than wood, stucco or fiber cement, and it is installed to move. A skirt pinned tight against vinyl can restrict that movement and distort the panels. We fasten through the skirt into solid framing at the corners and sides and leave the siding free to move. If the top course of siding is damaged, we note it for separate repair. On a chase that was re-sided in vinyl over older siding, the added thickness also changes the skirt size we order.
What decides how long a new cover lasts
No honest contractor can promise a fixed lifespan for a chase cover. Metal choice, thickness, shape, fastener compatibility, overhanging trees and how often the top gets checked all play a part. A well-shaped stainless cover with matching fasteners generally holds up better than a flat galvanized sheet, and even a good cover benefits from an occasional look. We leave care notes with the installation record, including what to look for from the ground after a strong storm. A cover that has lasted many years can still fail quickly once the zinc or sealant gives out, so age alone proves little.
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.
