Storm repairs for the whole chimney top
Wind works on the fasteners first
Wind rarely tears metal in the middle. It pulls at the edges and the fasteners, lifting a cap or chase cover where it is held. Once a corner lifts, each gust works it further.
That is why fastening is the first thing we check on metal parts. A cap still in place may have loose bolts or a bent band. A chase cover may have lost screws along one side. Refastening a sound part is often enough. A part bent out of shape needs replacing, and we explain which case applies.
An open chimney covered at the close of each work day
Storm repairs sometimes run over more than one day, especially when masonry is relaid or a custom cover is fitted. An open chimney top overnight would invite more water, leaves and animals into the flue.
Each evening before we leave, any open chimney top is covered, so the house stays protected between visits. You do not need to arrange anything. If rain is expected before the work can continue, we tell you what the cover will and will not keep out, and we check it on arrival the next day.
The order of permanent storm repairs
Permanent storm repairs have a natural order. Loose masonry is made sound before a new crown is cast. The crown cures before a new cap is fixed to it. Flashing is reset once the masonry around it is sound.
We set out that sequence on the estimate, so finished work is not damaged by the next step. If your roofer is involved, their work fits into the same order, and we agree the handover points with them. You know what happens when and why, and you can see which stages depend on others.
Masonry chimney or metal flue in a chase
A masonry chimney and a metal flue in a framed chase take storm damage differently. On masonry, the crown, the top courses and the flashing are the usual weak points. On a chase, the cover, the storm collar and the siding are.
We check the parts that matter for your chimney type and explain the differences. Tell us which you have, if you know, since it changes the materials we bring for a temporary cover. The estimate reflects the type, with parts and methods to match, and factory-built parts come from the maker's list.

Your storm damage questions in Bay Colony
Can you cover an open flue before the permanent repair?
Yes, once the roof is safe to work on. A temporary cover keeps rain and debris out while the permanent repair is arranged. It is listed and priced separately and is not described as the finished repair.
What if my roofer also needs to work around the chimney?
We coordinate so the flashing and the roof covering go in the right order. Roof covering work belongs to your roofer. Our estimate shows which chimney items we cover and where the two jobs meet.
Does storm repair include clearing debris from the flue?
Clearing storm debris that blocks the flue, damper or smoke shelf is part of making the chimney safe to use. If the flue also needs a full sweep, that is listed as a separate service with its own price.
