A chase cover is the metal lid on top of the wood-framed chase that hides a factory-built fireplace flue. Marysville's newer subdivisions north and east of the city typically have exactly this setup, and the original builder cover was typically a flat sheet of galvanized steel that has been rusting quietly since the house was finished. The tells are orange streaks down the chase siding, rust around the flue collar, and eventually a damp smell or water in the firebox. We replace it with a custom-measured stainless or heavy-gauge cover, cross-broken so water runs off, with a raised flue collar and a drip edge over the siding. Marysville is about 55 minutes from Renton; we measure on the first visit and return with the fabricated cover, or install the same day when stock sizes fit.
Chase cover replacement starts at $299. You get a free quote after we measure, a free second-opinion quote if someone already priced it, and price match plus 10 to 25 percent off. If the framing under the cover has rotted, we tell you before we start; a chase rebuild starts at $299. If you are not happy, we are not done.

Marysville Conditions
Why this happens in Marysville
Galvanized chase covers do not last long in Marysville weather. Sea-Tac's NOAA normals show roughly 150 to 156 days a year with measurable precipitation, so a flat cover stays wet for most of the year, and a flat cover ponds water instead of shedding it. Standing water on thin galvanized steel typically rusts through at the low spot or at the flue collar within the life of the first roof. November, the wettest month at 6.31 inches, is typically when a Marysville homeowner first notices the drip.
Shade and moss finish the job. Regional guidance notes that Western Washington moss spreads fastest October through April on north-facing and tree-shaded surfaces that dry slowly, and Marysville chases on the shaded side of a house typically grow moss and debris on the cover, which holds water against the metal even longer. A properly cross-broken stainless cover sheds water and gives moss nothing to hold onto, which is why we do not reinstall flat galvanized covers in Marysville.
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 Marysville — FAQ
How do I know my Marysville chase cover needs replacing?
Look from the ground for orange rust streaks down the chase siding, rust at the flue collar, or a cover that visibly sags. Inside, a damp smell near the fireplace or water in the firebox during the wet season typically points to the cover. Do not climb up; call 206-453-2045 and we will inspect it and give a free quote.
Can you install the new cover on the first visit to Marysville?
When a stock size fits, yes. Most Marysville chases need a custom-measured cover, so we measure and photograph on the first visit, fabricate, and return on our next north Snohomish County route day to install. Chase cover replacement starts at $299 and carries our not-happy-not-done guarantee.
How soon can you do chimney chase cover replacement in Marysville?
We confirm a time by phone or text after you request a quote; same-day service is often available for urgent problems in Marysville and the rest of Snohomish County.
