Building a chase cover that sheds water
Name the metal and gauge on the estimate
Chase covers are made from galvanized steel, stainless steel or copper, in different thicknesses. A cover described only as heavy duty or premium gives you nothing to compare. The metal and its gauge belong on the estimate in plain words.
We write the metal, the gauge, the seam construction and the finish on the proposal. If we recommend a particular metal for your chase, we say why in a sentence. That lets you weigh our proposal against another one on the same terms, and it tells anyone working on the chimney later what is up there.
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.
Galvanized chase covers in salty air
Zinc-coated steel loses its coating sooner when sea air deposits chlorides on it. Published corrosion data puts warm marine exposure close to industrial exposure for galvanized steel, with wind and shore distance moving the rate up or down.
For a chase close to the shore, galvanized sheet is still possible, but it deserves an honest comparison with the alternatives. We set out how each metal is likely to weather in that exposure and what upkeep it will need. The estimate names the metal we suggest and the reason for it.
Checking a chase top more often near the water
A chase cover near the coast works harder than the same cover inland. Salt deposits collect on the metal and in the seams, and rain may not rinse them off. Sealant, fasteners and corners tend to show wear sooner.
In that exposure, a maintenance visit that includes the chase top is worth considering more often. We look at the corners, the collar, the storm collar and the screws. Tell us how close the house is to open water and which side takes the wind. That helps us decide what to look at first.

Your chase cover questions, answered
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 will the written record show after the job?
The cover's metal and gauge, its shape, how it was fastened and sealed, what happened to the storm collar and cap, and anything we saw but did not repair. Keep it with your other house papers.
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.
