Replacement day at your house

Wondering what the job looks like? Our pros protect the roof around the chase, remove the chimney cap and storm collar, and take off the old cover and its fasteners.

They check the framing at the top of the chase, set the new cover with its collar over the pipe, fasten it through the turndown and seal the seams. Next the storm collar is refitted and sealed the way the chimney maker's instructions describe, and the listed cap returns to the pipe. Before leaving, they show you the finished top from a safe spot. Speak with our pros about replacement day in Melrose by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Wood chases and rot

A chase on a home in Melrose is wood framing covered in siding, and water from a failing cover rots it from the cap down. Our specialists probe the top of the framing on every chase job and price any repair, so the new cover is fastened into solid wood. Soft wood near the top is replaced before anything new is fastened to it.

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.

Why a chase cover needs slope

A flat piece of sheet metal on top of a chase holds water in every low spot, and standing water is what rusts a cover through. The chimney maker's instructions call for the top to slope away from the pipe opening, with Majestic giving a minimum of a quarter inch per foot.

Our pros have new covers built with that slope, using a raised center, diagonal breaks or a pitched shape, so water runs toward the edges and off the drip.

A cover that sheds water dries quickly after rain, and a dry cover lasts far longer than one that sits in a puddle.

Measuring for a custom cover

Chases are framed to suit each house, so their tops come in every size, and they're rarely perfectly square. A cover that fits needs to be made to measure.

Each side of the chase top is measured, then both diagonals; our specialists note where the pipe comes through and how big it is, and record any other vent or pipe passing through.

Those measurements go to the sheet-metal shop, and the cover comes back with its turndown, drip, slope and collar in the right places. It's a second trip, and it's what makes the new cover fit tight on every edge.

Cleaning rust stains off the siding

Every rain carries rust from a failing cover down the chase siding and leaves orange streaks. Once the new cover is on, the source is gone, and the stains stop growing.

Cleaning what's already there depends on the siding. Some cleans up well with a cleaner made for rust stains; some, especially older painted siding, may need repainting to look right.

A small test area comes first, so you know what to expect for your siding. Cleaning is priced separately from the cover, and painting, if needed, goes to a painter. The cleaning method is named on the quote.
