What a Stuart chase cover repair actually includes
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 Historic Downtown / Seminole Street and the St. Lucie River and downtown Riverwalk, salt and humidity decide the materials, so we default to marine-grade hardware here. We size the work to your specific Stuart chimney and the South Florida conditions around it, not to a one-line template.
- Seams and screw penetrations re-sealed
- Rust treated and patched where the metal is still sound
- Proper slope added so water runs off
