Measuring and fitting a chase cover in Nurmi Isles
The pipe cap is a separate part
Above the chase cover, the chimney pipe ends in its own cap. That cap keeps rain and debris out of the pipe itself, while the cover keeps water out of the box around it. The two are often confused because they sit so close together.
When we quote chase cover replacement, the cap is checked but not automatically replaced. If it is sound and is the cap listed for that chimney, it can go back on. If it is damaged or does not belong to the system, we note it as a separate line, so you can see what each part costs.
The skirt that laps down the chase walls
The edges of a chase cover fold down over the top of the chase walls. That fold is the skirt. It laps over the siding or trim so water running off the cover lands outside the wall rather than behind it.
A skirt that is too short leaves the top of the wall exposed. One that is too long may catch siding joints or trim in the wrong place. We measure the depth the skirt needs for your chase finish and note it on the estimate, along with how the skirt will be fastened.
If you have already bought a cover
Some people order a chase cover before calling us. That is fine, and we will look at it with the same questions we ask of any cover. It has to fit the chase over the siding, match the pipe position and clearance, and shed water.
Have the cover or its paperwork ready when we visit. We tell you whether it suits the chase, and when it does not, you hear exactly which measurement is off. Any work we quote around it is itemized, so you can see what each part costs.
The order a chase cover job follows
A chase cover job follows a simple order. We confirm the chimney system, measure the chase and check what we can see. Once the old cover is off, any framing or sheathing repair you approved is done. Then the new cover goes on, followed by the storm collar, sealant and cap.
That order keeps the new cover from being fastened onto damaged wood or fitted around a pipe that needs attention. If your job has several stages, the estimate shows them in sequence. We explain any waiting time between stages before you approve.

Chase cover FAQs for homes in Nurmi Isles
Should I paint my old chase cover to slow the corrosion?
Paint can slow surface corrosion on a cover that is otherwise sound, but it does not close holes or fix a flat top that holds water. We tell you honestly whether paint is worth it or the cover is past that point.
Can you fit a cover with a screened, lidded section?
Some chase covers can be made with a screen and removable lid around the pipe. On a factory-built chimney, anything that acts as a shroud has to be listed for that chimney, so we check the maker's options before quoting one.
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.
