Our chase cover process for homes in North Golf Estates
Questions worth asking about a chase proposal
A few questions separate a clear chase cover proposal from a vague one. Ask what metal and gauge the cover is, how the corners are joined and whether it has cross-breaks and a drip edge. Ask what happens to the storm collar and the cap.
Then ask what the cover does not fix. A good answer mentions framing, sheathing and siding as separate items that may need attention. We are glad to answer these about our own proposal, and the answers should be written into the estimate, not only spoken on the roof.
What the inspection can and cannot see
From the roof, we can see the cover, the collar, the storm collar, the cap and the siding near the top. From inside, we see any stains. The framing inside the chase, the sheathing behind the siding and the pipe lower down stay hidden while the cover is on.
We tell you what we saw directly and what we are inferring. If a hidden condition could change the job, we explain how and when it would come to light. The estimate records those limits, so there is no surprise about what was checked and what was not.
What you approve, and when
The estimate separates the cover from any framing, siding or pipe work, and each piece can be accepted on its own. People handle that in different ways, from approving everything to taking one item now and the rest later.
Work begins only after you approve it, and extras are not slipped in along the way. Questions after reading the estimate are welcome by phone. Approving within 72 hours of your free inspection gives you a 10% discount on the work you choose.
Checks once the new cover is on
Once the cover is fitted, we check that it sits flat on the chase, that the skirt laps the walls evenly and that the fasteners are tight. We look at the collar, the storm collar and the sealant, and confirm the air spaces the chimney calls for are open.
We also check the cap height and make sure water will run off the cover and past the drip edge. Anything that still concerns us is noted in the written record. You should not discover a problem with the new cover at the next heavy rain.
What your chase cover estimate covers in North Golf Estates
- Collar height around each pipe
- Sheathing damage noted as its own item
- Fastener type and spacing on the skirt
- Temporary cover over the open chase
Worth knowing before a chase cover is replaced
Can a corroded cover be patched rather than replaced?
Small repairs can buy time on a cover that is otherwise sound. A cover with holes, a dished middle or thin metal throughout usually needs replacing, because patches over corrosion tend to trap water. We show you the condition before you choose.
Which metal should a replacement chase cover be made from?
Galvanized, stainless and copper covers are all made. The choice depends on the chimney, the metals nearby, the look you want and the budget. We name the metal and its gauge on the estimate and explain why we suggest it.
Will a new cover stop the stains on my siding?
It should stop new rust from running down, if the old cover was the source. Existing stains stay until they are cleaned or weather away. We tell you whether the stains came from the cover or from another metal part.
