The chase cover job, from measure to seal
Chases that are not simple rectangles
Not every chase top is a clean rectangle. Some have angled corners, a step where two roof lines meet, or trim that sticks out on one side. A stock cover rarely fits those shapes well, and gaps at the edges let water behind the skirt.
We sketch the actual shape during the measuring visit and note every change in direction. The cover is then made to that sketch. If the shape means a cover will cost more to fabricate, the estimate says so up front. You see the reason in plain words instead of discovering it later.
Finding the label on the chimney or fireplace
Factory-built fireplaces and chimneys carry labels with the maker, model and listing. The fireplace label is often behind a panel near the opening or inside the surround. The chimney pipe may carry its own label in the attic or inside the chase.
If you can find the fireplace label safely, read us the details when you call. Please do not remove panels you are unsure about or climb into tight spaces. We find it during the visit if needed. The label tells us whose instructions govern the top of the chase.
An unused fireplace still needs a sound chase top
A fireplace that sits unlit still has a chase above it that takes every storm. Water that gets past a failing cover damages the framing and the chimney pipe whether or not the fireplace is in use. Idle chases are often the last to be checked.
If you do not use the fireplace, the chase top still deserves a look from time to time. We check the cover, collar and storm collar and tell you what we find. If you plan to use the fireplace again someday, mention it, so the chimney is kept in a state that allows that.
New siding and the cover skirt
When a chase is re-sided, the new finish can change the outside size of the chase. A cover that fitted the old siding may now be too tight to lap over the new, or leave a gap where the skirt used to sit.
If you are planning new siding or stucco on the chase, it is worth coordinating the cover with that work. We can measure once the new finish is on, so the skirt laps it properly. Tell us about any planned exterior work when you call, and we plan the timing around it.

Common questions about chimney chase covers
Why does water sit on top of my chase cover?
Flat covers, and covers that have sagged, hold water instead of shedding it. Standing water speeds up corrosion and can eventually find a way into the chase. A replacement with cross-breaks or a slope, plus a drip edge, moves the water off.
Do you make chase covers to measure?
Yes. Chases vary in size and pipe position, so most covers are made to the measurements we take on the roof. That can mean one visit to measure and another to fit, and we explain the sequence at the start.
What should I tell you when I call about the chase?
Describe what you see from the ground, any stains or water inside and whether the fireplace is used. Mention the chimney maker if you know it. With that, we can plan the visit to your home in Coconut Creek and bring the right gear.
