Peeling paint on the chase top

Chase cover painted to match the house, and now the paint is flaking off with rust underneath? Paint on galvanized steel protects it for a while, but once it fails, water sits in the flakes and rust spreads quickly.

We check whether the metal under the paint is sound. A cover with light surface rust can be cleaned and recoated; one with pitting or holes needs replacing. A stainless cover avoids the painting cycle altogether. You'll see both options priced. If rust has reached the chase framing, that's priced separately. Reserve a look at the painted chase top in Archer at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Painted covers in full sun

A chase cover painted to match a house in Archer sits in full sun on the roof. The paint fades and chalks, then peels, and rust starts in the bare spots. Our pros can recoat a sound cover or replace it with stainless, which skips the painting cycle altogether. A stainless cover keeps its finish without paint. Our pros can show you samples of both.

How It Works

Four stops from measure to storm collar

Check lid and box

The cover, collar, storm collar and cap are looked over first, along with the framing beneath.
Measure and order

The chase top is measured on every side, and the cover is made with slope and collars.
Fit and fasten

Soft framing is repaired, and the new cover is set, fastened through the sides and sealed.
Seal and cap

The storm collar is sealed to the maker's instructions and the listed cap goes back on.

The turned-down edge and drip

A chase cover doesn't just lie on top of the chase. Its edges turn down over the sides of the framing, and the bottom of that turndown kicks out to form a drip.

The turndown keeps wind-driven rain from blowing in under the edge, and the drip throws water clear of the siding below so it doesn't run down the chase walls.

Majestic's instructions describe both. Our specialists have covers made with a turndown long enough to lap over the top of the siding and a drip that actually sheds water, then fasten them through the turndown where the screws stay out of standing water.

The collar where the pipe comes through

The pipe opening and collar are part of the chase-top design. Their dimensions and joints must follow the instructions for the actual system, including any ventilation that must remain open. Our pros check those details before a cover is ordered.

The opening must allow the movement and ventilation specified for the actual chimney. A collar dimension from another manual cannot establish that clearance, and required gaps must not simply be filled with sealant.

Our pros measure the pipe positions and inspect the existing joints before specifying a cover. The proposed collar and fastening details should explain how the replacement suits this system and manages water around each opening.

Galvanized, painted or stainless

Chase covers are made from galvanized steel, painted galvanized, or stainless steel. Galvanized is the least expensive and relies on its zinc coating, which slowly wears away where water sits.

Painted galvanized adds a layer that looks good until the paint fails, and then rust spreads under it. Stainless steel doesn't rely on a coating, lasts much longer and doesn't need repainting, though it costs more at the start.

You'll hear how each will look and wear on your house, and whichever you choose, the fasteners are matched to it. The metal is named on the quote. Stainless also keeps its looks.

FAQs

Asked about chase covers in Archer

Do your pros cover Archer for chase cover work?

We do. Homes across Alachua County are on our list, Archer included, and our pros look over the cover, both collars and the framing beneath at no charge. Mention any rust streaks on the siding when you phone.

Do you check for animals before sealing the chase?

Yes. Nothing gets sealed in. If an animal is nesting in the chase, our animal removal specialists handle it before the new cover goes on.
