What a Vedado chase cover repair actually includes
The short version of how we handle it in Vedado: 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. Inland around Vedado Historic District, it is daily damp plus hurricane-season wind that age a Vedado chimney, so the fix answers both. For Vedado homeowners we keep the scope tight: we fix the active problem and flag, but never upsell, whatever is only worth watching.
- Seams and screw penetrations re-sealed
- Rust treated and patched where the metal is still sound
- Proper slope added so water runs off

Vedado's housing stock spans 1920s land-boom homes and a wave of one-story masonry houses built 1947-1957, so many original brick and block chimneys are decades old and benefit from crown and mortar-joint inspection before heavy seasonal use. Near the Vedado Historic District (National Register of Historic Places), Vedado housing sets the terms for a chase cover repair: 1920s land-boom bungalows alongside 1947-1957 one-story masonry homes, mostly concrete-block construction with stucco or brick exterior chimneys. We run the same route across Vedado and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Prospect Park and South End West Palm Beach.
