How Our Pros Repair Chimney Chases in Keystone
Local and family-owned, our team repairs chimney chases in Keystone with written prices before work starts.
Why paint and caulk cannot fix a rotted chase
Fresh paint and a bead of caulk make a stained chase look fine from the street for a while. They cannot restore wood that has already softened, and caulk laid over a gap that moves will split again. A new coat can even hold moisture in wood that is already wet.
Once the structure is repaired, paint and sealant do real work. They protect new siding, close trim joints and keep end grain dry. Our pros prime and seal the new materials as part of the repair and tell you what upkeep keeps them that way, such as a look at the caulk joints each year.
What to tell our pros when you call about a chase
A few details help plan the visit. Tell us when you first saw the damage, whether water shows up inside after storms, whether the fireplace burns wood or gas and roughly how old the chase cover is if you know. Earlier patches, paint jobs or roof work around the chase are useful too, because they can hide or explain what we find.
You do not need to measure anything or climb up to look. Our local, family-owned team handles that during the free inspection and walks you through the findings, with upfront pricing for every line of the repair.
Hardware chosen for the lumber and the site
The metal in a chase repair deserves as much thought as the wood. Simpson Strong-Tie's corrosion guidance ties connector and fastener choice to both the lumber treatment and the exposure of the site, and it cautions against mixing galvanized fasteners with stainless steel connectors.
Our pros choose fasteners for the lumber they hold and the exposure of your chase, with stainless hardware where the exposure calls for it. The cover and storm collar get the same scrutiny, since rust at the top of a chase is often where water first gets in.
Matching new framing to the old
Old chase framing may use lumber sizes or stud spacing that differ from what is sold today. New studs are sized and shimmed so the sheathing lies flat and the siding lines up with the rest of the chase, and blocking is added where siding joints need solid backing.
Our pros take those measurements when the wall is open and cut new framing to fit, so the repaired face does not bulge or dip. Details like that are what make a repair disappear once it is painted.
