Chase cover decisions for homes in Gladeview
Where the pipe sits on the top
The pipe may not sit in the center of the chase. Framing, offsets and the fireplace below all push it one way or another. The hole in the new cover has to match where the pipe really is, not where it would look neat.
We measure the pipe position from two sides of the chase. If the pipe has shifted or leans, we note that, because it may point to a support problem inside the chase. The estimate shows the hole position, and any concern about the pipe is described separately for you to decide on.
The open chase is covered at day's end
Between removing the old cover and fitting the new one, the top of the chase is open. Rain and debris can drop straight in. We do not leave it that way overnight.
At the end of each work day, the open top is covered so the chase stays dry until work resumes. If there is a wait for a made-to-measure cover or for framing repair, we explain how the top will be protected in between. That protection is part of how we work, and it is described in the scope of the job.
One line per part on a chase estimate
A chase estimate should let you see the job in pieces. The cover, the storm collar and any cap or listed chase top part each get a price and a short description. Framing, sheathing and siding repair are listed the same way.
With the work split up, you can say yes to the new metal and hold the carpentry, or schedule both together. The layout also makes gaps visible, such as drywall inside, which is not part of our work. If a line on our proposal reads loosely, point to it, and we reword it before you decide.
A pipe that has shifted in its opening
Sometimes the chimney pipe no longer sits centered in the cover's collar. It may lean to one side or press against the edge of the hole. That can mean a support inside the chase has moved, or that the pipe was not braced as its instructions describe.
A new cover will not straighten a pipe that has moved. We note the lean, look at what we can see of the supports and tell you what it suggests. Any work on the pipe or its supports follows the chimney maker's instructions and is priced as its own item.

Chase cover questions worth asking in Gladeview
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.
Is a same-day chase cover fitting available?
Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, but most covers are made after measuring. We tell you at the inspection whether a same-day fitting is realistic for your chase and how the top is protected meanwhile.
Does your warranty cover the new chase cover?
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we carry out, and we explain what it covers before you approve. A listed chimney part may also carry its maker's terms, and we pass those on with the written record.
