Why galvanized chase covers fail here
The short version of how we handle it in Pleasant City: 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. Set back from the open coast near Payne Chapel AME Church (designed in the 1920s by Hazel Augustus and dedicated in 1929), water management and storm-wind detailing lead the scope here. We treat a Pleasant City estimate as a commitment: the written number is the invoice, with no surprises once the work starts.
- Stainless or copper replacement quoted when rust-through is advanced
- Seams and screw penetrations re-sealed
- Rust treated and patched where the metal is still sound
- Proper slope added so water runs off
Why Pleasant City homes need chase cover repair done right

From Division Avenue to Ninth Street, the Pleasant City homes we work on share a build type — Homes dating from about 1905 through the 1920s in West Palm Beach's oldest African-American community, including Frame Vernacular cottages and masonry buildings of the period — and a chase cover repair is scoped to it. We run the same route across Pleasant City and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Old Northwood and Downtown West Palm Beach.
