How our pros handle chase covers in Storey Park
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 Storey Park chase, note where trim boards stand proud and size the skirt to clear the thickest point with room to fasten.
Chase cover, chase top and chase pan
Owners and contractors use several names for the same part. Chase cover, chase top, chase pan and chimney chase cap usually describe the broad metal lid over a framed enclosure. Chimney cap may mean that lid or the smaller termination cap on the pipe. When comparing proposals, confirm which part each one prices. Our estimate describes the component by its location and its job, so there is no confusion about what is being replaced. When a quote uses a term you do not recognize, ask the contractor to point to the part on the roof or on a drawing.
Brick-faced chases around a metal chimney
Some homes have a factory-built chimney inside a chase faced with brick or stone veneer. The lid over that enclosure is still a chase cover, and it still needs a collar, a slope and a drip edge. The top edge of the veneer is often uneven, so the skirt is sized to its highest points. We also check whether the top of the veneer is sealed or open, because water entering there follows a different path than water through the cover.
Checking the cap screen while we are up there
Many termination caps carry a screen that keeps animals and debris out of the pipe. Since the cap comes off during a cover replacement, we look at its screen at the same time. A screen torn open, rusted through or packed with debris is noted with a recommendation. Cleaning or replacing the listed cap is its own item, so you can approve it along with the cover or leave it for later. A clear screen also matters for the chimney's draft, so a blocked one is worth fixing even without animal trouble.

Chase cover questions from Storey Park
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.
Which metal should a chase cover be made from?
Galvanized steel costs less, stainless steel resists rust longer, and copper is chosen mainly for its looks. We explain each option for your home and match the fasteners to the metal you pick.
