Our approach to chase covers in West Colonial
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.
Soft wood under the old cover
Lifting a failed cover sometimes reveals dark, soft wood along the top plates or sheathing of the chase. A new cover cannot fasten well to rotted framing, and the damp continues beneath it. That is structural enclosure work, handled as chimney chase repair, and we price it separately for you to approve before we proceed. When the rot is limited, the framing repair and the new cover can often be scheduled together so the chase is closed up once.
Holding the cover down in strong wind
A chase cover is a large, flat target for wind, and a loose edge can lift, bend and let rain in sideways. Fastener spacing, skirt depth and the stiffness of the sheet all affect how well the cover stays down. We set fasteners through the skirt on every side of the chase. If your chase is tall or stands well above the roofline, we discuss whether heavier material is worth the added cost. Every fastener goes into solid framing, since a screw into soft trim can pull out in the first strong gust.
Covers installed by a previous owner
When someone else installed the current cover, you may not know its metal, its age or who made it. We identify the material from its condition, check whether it was built for this chase or adapted from something else, and look for earlier repairs. That history helps explain the current problems. It does not change the goal, which is a cover made to your chase and to the instructions for the chimney system inside. If you have paperwork from the sale, a line about chimney or roof work can help us date the current cover.
