How we fix it

Step 1

Inspect cap, flashing and siding

We check the chase cover, the roof flashing and the siding to find how water gets into the chase.

Step 2

Open and rebuild framing

Rotted framing and sheathing inside the chase are replaced.

Step 3

New cover and flashing

A sloped chase cover and proper flashing are installed so water runs off instead of in.

Step 4

Re-side and finish

New wrap and siding go on the chase and are painted to match the house.

We fix the leak, not just the wood.

Replacing boards without fixing the water that rotted them just buys a few years.

Price before we open anything

A written scope and price first. If hidden damage is likely, we explain the options before we start.

Only what's failed

Sound wood stays. We cut back to solid material and rebuild from there.

Questions about chimney chase repair

Do you replace chase covers (chimney caps)?

Yes. A rusted flat cover is one of the most common reasons chases rot. We install a sloped cover sized to your chase.

Do you work on brick chimneys?

Our work is on wood-framed chimney chases and the flashing around chimneys. For masonry repairs we can recommend a mason.

Does the HOA handle chimney chases?

It depends on your HOA. We regularly work with HOAs and property managers on multi-building chase repairs.

How long does a chase repair take?

Most single chases take a few days, depending on how far the rot goes.
