Chimney chase cover work in Biscayne Gardens
A cover made for two chimney pipes
Some chases carry two pipes, such as a fireplace chimney and a vent for another appliance. A cover for that chase needs two holes, each with its own collar and each placed exactly where its pipe stands. Cover makers build double-hole and multi-hole covers for this.
Each pipe keeps the clearances and termination its own instructions call for. We identify both pipes and what they serve before ordering. If one of them belongs to an appliance we do not work on, we say so, and the cover is still made to fit around it correctly.
How the skirt meets different wall finishes
Chase walls may be finished in lap siding, panel siding, stucco or another cladding. Each finish meets the cover skirt differently. Lap siding has steps the skirt must clear, while stucco has a hard edge that needs the skirt to sit tight against it.
We note the finish on your chase and how the skirt will be fastened through or over it. Where the finish near the top is damaged, cracked or loose, we point that out as a separate repair. The cover should not be fastened into material that is already failing.
What we walk you through once it is fitted
When the new cover is on, we point out its shape, the way it drains and where it is fastened. We show the storm collar, the sealant at the pipe and whether the cap went back on or was replaced.
Anything we spotted outside the job, such as siding near the top that looked tired, gets mentioned again at this point. Ask whatever comes to mind while you can still see the work from the yard. The aim is that you know what now sits on the chase and could describe it to the next person who asks.
Comparing chase cover quotes fairly
Chase cover quotes vary for good reasons and bad ones. Some include a storm collar, sealing and cap reuse, while others price only the sheet. Some state stainless with welded seams, others simply metal cover.
Line up the details before the totals: metal, gauge, cross-breaks, drip edge, seams, collar and fastening. Where one quote is silent on a point the other covers, ask the silent one to fill it in, including us. Two proposals are only comparable once they describe the same chase top.

Your chase cover questions, answered
What happens if the wood under the old cover is soft?
We stop and show you. Soft sheathing or framing at the top of the chase is chase repair, a separate job with its own price. The open top is covered in the meantime, and nothing is added without your approval.
Why is there a gap between the storm collar and the cover?
Some chimney systems call for air spaces at the chase top so the chase stays ventilated around the pipe. Where the instructions show them, those gaps are part of the design, not a fault, and we keep them when fitting the new cover.
Is the chase cover part of the chimney's listed system?
The cover itself is often made to measure, but the parts where the pipe passes through it are usually specified by the chimney maker. We follow the chimney instructions for the collar, the storm collar and the air spaces.
