Inside a chase top replacement in Bertha
A cover that dips in the middle
A chase cover that has sunk into a shallow bowl is holding water every time it rains. The cause is usually below it: a softened deck, missing support, or a sheet too thin for its span. Swapping the metal alone would bring the same bowl back.
We find out why the old cover sagged before the new one is fabricated. The fix may include restoring support at the top of the chase, which our specialists price separately and explain before you approve the work on your Bertha home.
Choosing a finish that suits the house
A chase cover is visible from the street on many homes, so its appearance matters along with its function. Bright galvanized and stainless sheet dull as they weather, and some homeowners prefer a painted finish that blends with the roof or trim.
We go over the finish options with you before ordering. Paint changes how the cover looks, but the slope, the raised collar and the drip edge remain the parts that keep your Bertha chase dry. If you choose paint, we explain which coating suits the metal and when it may need touching up, so the finish keeps looking right.
From measurement to installation day
The first visit is the free inspection, where we look at the cover, collar, storm collar, cap and deck and take measurements. You then receive a written estimate listing the metal, the gauge and any related repair.
Once you approve it, the cover is fabricated to your measurements and installed on a scheduled day. The crew protects the roof around the chase, removes the old cover and hauls it away when the job is done. If the deck needs repair, that work is done on the same visit where possible, so the chase is never left open between trades.
Leave the climbing to our crew
Replacing a chase cover means working at the top of the chase, often above a pitched roof. Our crew sets up ladders suited to the roof, protects shingles and gutters around the chase and keeps the area below clear while the old cover comes off. If the roof is too steep or fragile for safe access, we tell you what that means for the job before scheduling it.
Please do not climb up to inspect the cover yourself. Our pros show you the old cover once it is down, explain what the deck looked like and answer your questions before we leave your Bertha home.
