Chase cover replacement is the most common chimney job we do in Bonney Lake, simply because of how the town was built. The subdivisions along SR 410, the neighborhoods around Allan Yorke Park and the newer homes in Tehaleh are overwhelmingly factory-built fireplaces inside siding-wrapped framed chases, and the galvanized covers that went on at construction typically rust through at the seams and around the flue collar after enough plateau winters. Rust streaks on the siding are the first sign most homeowners notice; a ceiling stain beside the fireplace means the water has already reached the framing.
We measure the chase, fabricate a stainless steel cover with a cross-break so water sheds rather than pools, a drip edge that clears the siding, and a tall collar, and install it with a new storm collar and high-temperature sealant around the flue pipe. Our chase cover replacement starts at $299 and includes a free quote. If the plywood and framing underneath have rotted, a chase rebuild starts at $299. Bonney Lake is about 40 minutes from our Renton office via SR 167 and SR 410, and a cover swap can often happen the same day we inspect it. We price match plus 10 to 25 percent off.

- Visible rust holes or a sagging center in the metal lid
Bonney Lake Conditions
Why this happens in Bonney Lake
The Bonney Lake plateau is hard on chase covers. It is open to wind across Lake Tapps, and the region's 40.34 inches of annual rain by the Sea-Tac 1991-2020 normals arrives on that wind, pushing water under the edge of a flat cover and pooling it against the collar. With measurable precipitation on roughly 150 to 156 days a year, a galvanized cover up here rarely dries out between storms, and rust starts at the seams and spreads.
The chase below suffers quietly. Framing that gets wet in the fall stays wet through a winter where regional lows average 37 to 38F, and the shaded side of a chase on the plateau grows the moss that spreads across Western Washington from October to April. A stainless cover installed before the November rains, the wettest month at 6.31 inches, keeps the chase dry and typically outlasts the siding around it.
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 Bonney Lake — FAQ
My Tehaleh home is new. Should I replace the chase cover before it fails?
Not necessarily, but it is worth having it checked. Some builder covers are already stainless and fine; many are galvanized and will rust within a few plateau winters. During a free quote we tell you which you have and whether a new storm collar seal is all it needs for now. We replace only what is actually failing.
Can a chase cover be replaced on a two-story Bonney Lake home in winter?
Yes. A cover replacement does not need curing time like masonry, so we can install one in wet weather as long as the roof is safe to work on. Many plateau homes along SR 410 have tall chases above a steep roof, and we bring the ladders and equipment for that. You do not need to go up yourself.
How soon can you do chimney chase cover replacement in Bonney Lake?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Bonney Lake and the rest of Pierce County.
