We'll confirm a time by phone or text.
Snohomish is known for its old brick chimneys, but the newer plats along the valley floor and out toward Clearview are a different story: factory-built fireplaces inside sided chases, topped with a galvanized chase cover that the builder never expected anyone to look at again. Those covers typically rust first at the seams and around the pipe collar, then sag and pond in the middle. Rust stains on the siding, water on the firebox and a musty smell from the fireplace are the signs. We replace them with stainless or heavy-gauge covers, cross-broken so water runs off, with a drip edge that clears the siding and a new storm collar where the old one has failed.
Chase cover replacement in Snohomish starts at $299 and begins with a free quote. While we are up there we check the chase framing and sheathing for rot, because a cover that has leaked for a few seasons has often soaked the plywood below it. We show you photos and quote any framing repair separately. Another company's quote gets a free second opinion and price match plus 10-25% off. Renton to Snohomish is about 50 minutes, and we can often measure the same day. Not happy with the cover? We are not done; we make it right at no charge. Certified and insured.

Snohomish Conditions
Why this happens in Snohomish
A galvanized chase cover in the Snohomish valley is a flat steel pan that sits in rain for most of the year. Sea-Tac normals show 40.34 inches of annual precipitation, with about 73 percent of it from October through March and only about 3 inches across June through August. That means the cover ponds water through the wet half of the year and dries only in summer, a cycle that wears through the zinc coating at every seam and fastener.
The valley's weather also brings freeze-thaw to the framing below. Sea-Tac records around 60 days a year touching 32F with winter lows averaging about 37F, so once rust pits a hole in the cover, the wet plywood beneath it typically freezes and thaws repeatedly and rots faster than it would in a drier climate. Properties near Clearview with tree cover add moss and needle debris; regional roofing guidance notes moss grows fastest October through April on shaded, slow-drying surfaces, and debris dammed around the pipe collar keeps water sitting exactly where the cover is weakest.
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 Snohomish — FAQ
Is a chase cover replacement in Snohomish a same-day job?
The measurement and quote often are; we are about 50 minutes from Renton and can frequently come the day you call. The cover itself is fabricated to your chase dimensions, so installation follows once it is ready. If the old cover is actively leaking we can typically stop the water on the first visit.
My Snohomish chase cover rusted through and the framing looks wet. What happens now?
We replace the cover, starting at $299, and inspect the chase top underneath. If the sheathing or framing is soft we show you photos and quote that repair separately for free, with no pressure to do it the same day. Catching it early typically keeps it to a cover and a small framing patch rather than a chase rebuild.
How soon can you do chimney chase cover replacement in Snohomish?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Snohomish and the rest of Snohomish County.
