Getting the chase top right in Zellwood
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 Zellwood chase, note where trim boards stand proud and size the skirt to clear the thickest point with room to fasten.
Finding your fireplace's model information
The installation instructions for your chimney system decide several details of the chase top, so the model matters. Factory-built fireplaces carry a listing label on the unit that names the maker and model. If you have the original manual, keep it handy for the visit. If not, we read the label during the inspection and locate the instructions for that system before specifying the cover for your Zellwood home. If the label is missing or unreadable, we tell you what we could identify and how that affects the cover specification.
A cover that sits inside the siding
Some leaks come from a cover that was simply made too small. Instead of lapping over the siding, the skirt sits inside it or stops short, and water enters at the joint. This happens when measurements were taken off the framing, or when the chase was re-sided after the cover went on. We compare the cover's size to the finished chase and, if it falls short, specify a new one to the outside dimensions. An undersized cover sometimes gets a strip of flashing added around it, which only adds more joints that can leak.
Product warranties and our workmanship warranty
Metal suppliers and cap manufacturers may offer their own product warranties, and they set those terms. Our workmanship warranty covers how the cover was measured, ordered and installed. The installation record lists the parts used, so you have what you need if a product question ever comes up with a supplier. Keep that record with the fireplace manual, since a supplier may ask for the model of the chimney system as well as the cover details. If a supplier warranty applies, we tell you what it covers and what it does not, as far as the supplier states it.

Your Zellwood chase cover questions, answered
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.
Will you reuse my existing chimney cap?
If the cap is sound and is the one listed for your chimney, yes. We lift it off, replace the cover and reinstall it. If it is damaged, we quote the listed replacement instead.
