What's covered in a Delray Beach chase cover repair job
On a Delray Beach job, here is how that breaks down. A flat or poorly-sloped galvanized cover holds water, and on the coast salt air rusts it through in a few years. We reseal seams and penetrations, and where it is too far gone we recommend a sloped stainless or copper replacement. This close to the Old School Square historic district downtown, that means assuming salt-air corrosion on every exposed metal part — cap, flashing, and damper. After the work we hand you a written scope of the work and a written scope, the same package Delray Beach-area insurers tend to ask for.
- Proper slope added so water runs off
- Stainless or copper replacement quoted when rust-through is advanced
- Seams and screw penetrations re-sealed
