What's covered in a Northwood Hills chase cover repair job
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. Around the figure-eight street layout, the standing humidity — not salt — is what we build the repair against. Catch it early on a Northwood Hills home and it stays a tidy repair; let a season or two pass and the same problem usually pulls in the surrounding masonry.
- Proper slope added so water runs off
- Stainless or copper replacement quoted when rust-through is advanced

Why chase cover repair matters in Northwood Hills
On a Northwood Hills chimney, the reason to act is straightforward. A flat, rusting chase cover collects water instead of shedding it, and the rot it hides inside the framed chase stays invisible behind the siding until the repair has grown expensive.
Northwood Hills sits on one of the highest natural ridges in South Florida at roughly 44 feet, and its hilltop homes with masonry chimneys catch more wind-driven rain at the rooftop, so flashing and crown seals are worth watching more closely than on lower ground. Most Northwood Hills chimneys, from the figure-eight street layout to Westview Avenue, belong to 1920s-1950s Mediterranean Revival and Mission Revival homes plus a notable Post-WWII collection, set on the area's hilly terrain, generally masonry construction with tile roofs and masonry chimneys, so we match the chase cover repair to that construction rather than a generic spec. We run the same route across Northwood Hills and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Roosevelt Estates and Old Northwood.
