In the newer parts of Mukilteo, the subdivisions that share their building era with south Everett, the chimney is typically a factory-built fireplace with a metal flue running up through a framed chase sided to match the house. The metal pan on top of that chase is the chase cover, and the builder-grade galvanized ones rust through from the top down. Rust streaks on the siding below the cover are the first sign; water on top of the fireplace or a stain on the ceiling beside the chase is the second. By then the chase framing is usually already wet.
We replace chase covers starting at $299. We measure the chase on site so the new cover gets a drip edge on all four sides, a cross-break so water runs off instead of sitting, and a storm collar sized to your flue pipe. Stainless is the long-life option in this climate; we'll quote both. Mukilteo and Picnic Point are about 45 minutes from our Renton office, and same-day service is often available for this job. We start with a free quote, offer a free 2nd-opinion quote on any other bid, and price match plus 10-25% off. If you're not happy, we're not done.

Mukilteo Conditions
Why this happens in Mukilteo
A chase cover in Mukilteo is a flat metal pan exposed to Sea-Tac-normal rainfall of 40.34 inches a year across about 150-156 days with measurable precipitation. When the original cover was installed flat, with no cross-break and screws through the top, water pools around the flue collar and at the fasteners for days at a stretch in the wet season. That standing water is what wears through the galvanized coating, and once there's a pinhole, roughly 73% of the year's rain, the October-March share, has a direct path into a wood-framed chase. Because the chase is framing and drywall rather than brick, the damage moves fast: wet sheathing, a stained ceiling, and a rusted top on the factory-built firebox below. Unlike masonry, there's no freeze-thaw story to wait on; the cover either sheds water or it doesn't. That's why we push Mukilteo homeowners with sided chimneys to have the cover looked at in late summer rather than after the first ceiling stain in November.
How It Works
Our chimney chase cover replacement process
Measure the chase
We measure the chase, the flue pipe diameter and position, and the skirt height so the new cover fits without gaps.
Fabricate the cover
The replacement is made from stainless steel or aluminum with a cross-break, raised collar, and a drip-edge skirt over the siding.
Remove the old cover
The rusted lid comes off and we inspect and dry out the top plate. Minor wood damage is addressed before the new cover goes on.
Set and fasten
The new cover is fastened through the skirt into the sides of the chase, never through the top, and the collar is sealed to the flue pipe with high-temperature sealant.
Cap and check
We reinstall or replace the flue cap, confirm the storm collar is sealed, and photograph the finished top for you.

Chimney Chase Cover Replacement in Mukilteo — FAQ
My Mukilteo chimney is sided like the house. Is that a chase cover?
Almost certainly. A sided chimney with a round metal pipe and cap on top is a framed chase over a factory-built fireplace, and the pan on top is the chase cover. Brick with a concrete top is a crown instead. Send us a yard-level photo and we'll confirm for free, then quote the cover starting at $299.
Stainless or galvanized chase cover for a Mukilteo home?
Stainless costs more up front and is the one we'd put on our own house in this much rain, because it doesn't depend on a coating that wears through. A properly cross-broken galvanized cover is a fair budget option. We quote both in the free quote so you can pick, and either way it's fitted to your chase, not a stock size.
How soon can you do chimney chase cover replacement in Mukilteo?
