Our chase cover process for homes in Parkland
Skirt screws and the metal they are made of
The cover is held by fasteners through the skirt into the chase walls. One chimney maker's instructions call for several fasteners per side on its chase top parts. Too few, or screws driven into rotted wood, and the cover can lift in wind.
Fastener metal matters too. A plain steel screw through a stainless skirt can corrode away and leave a hole. We use fasteners that suit the cover metal and drive them into sound material. The written record lists what was used and where, so the next person can match them when the cover is checked.
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.
When the chase top is open to heavy rain
Most chase cover problems can be booked as a normal visit. A cover torn half off with rain pouring into the chase, or water running into the room, is different. That is what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
On the phone, tell us where water is showing and whether any metal is loose. Move furniture and rugs out of the wet area and keep people away from anything overhead. Leave the fireplace unused. We arrange the visit, make the top as weather-tight as the conditions allow, and quote the permanent fix separately.
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.
What the free chase cover inspection checks

Chase cover questions worth asking in Parkland
Can the existing cap stay on the chimney pipe?
It can, if it is sound and is the cap listed for that chimney. We check it while we are up there. A damaged cap, or one that does not belong to the system, is noted as a separate item for you to decide on.
How does the inspection discount apply to a chase cover?
The window opens at your own free inspection and lasts 72 hours. Anything you approve from the estimate inside it, the cover included, is 10% off, and the written price holds if you decide later.
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.
