Our Chase Cover Replacement Process in Bunnell
- Confirm replacement is the right call and not just a storm collar or skirt repair
- Inspect the chase interior and top plate for rot before anything is ordered
- Measure outside dimensions, flue positions and pipe diameters
- Agree material, gauge and skirt depth in a written estimate
- Fabricate the cover to those measurements
- Remove the old cover and repair any framing damage found underneath
- Check the cap, damper and flashing for the early salt corrosion common this close to the coast
Local Climate & Your Chimney in Bunnell
Living near the water in Bunnell means a chimney is weathering constantly, not seasonally. Salt accelerates corrosion on the cap and damper, humidity keeps masonry from ever fully drying, and each storm drives water at joints that were never designed to take it horizontally. Small failures here compound quickly.
What That Means for Chimneys in Bunnell
Because Bunnell sits far enough north to get a sustained cold season, its fireplaces do actual work, and everything that follows from that applies here in a way it does not in the south of the state: creosote accumulation, ash and soot loading, a damper that has been opened and closed hundreds of times, and a firebox taking real heat cycles.
Chase Cover Replacement Near Bunnell
Bunnell sits on a boundary: some of its nearest neighbours, Flagler Beach, Palm Coast, Ormond-by-the-Sea, Crescent City, Ormond Beach, Holly Hill, are effectivelywaterfront while others are far enough inland to escape the salt entirely. That is why chase cover replacement here is not one standard checklist. Two houses fifteen minutes apart genuinely need different things looked at first.
What Storm Season Means in Bunnell
Coastal Flagler County carries higher design wind speeds than the interior, and a chimney takes that loading directly, it stands above the roofline with nothing shielding it. In Bunnell that makes cap attachment, crown condition and the state of the mortar at the top courses the things most worth checking before hurricane season rather than after it.

Should I repair or replace my chase cover?
If the pan is galvanized and rusting anywhere, replacement is the honest answer, corrosion continues from the underside, so a patch buys a season or two. Repair is reasonable when a sound stainless pan has a failed storm collar, a lifted skirt, or degraded corner sealant. The diagnosis is covered in detail on our chase cover repair page.
What grade of stainless steel should a chase cover be?
304 is the normal specification and what we fit by default. Lower grades were used on many budget prefab systems and do not hold up as well, particularly near the coast. "Stainless steel" on a quote is not a specification, ask for the grade in writing.
Why do welded corners matter?
Corners can be welded or folded and filled with sealant. Sealant is a consumable that hardens and shrinks, and Florida UV works through it faster than most climates, so sealed corners are the usual first point of failure on a cheaper cover. Welded corners have nothing to degrade.
Do you provide chase cover replacement throughout Bunnell and Flagler County?

When is the best time of year for chase cover replacement in Bunnell?
Late summer through early fall, before the burning season starts. Bunnell gets a real winter, so fireplaces here see regular use, booking ahead of the first cold snap means the work is done before you need the fireplace, not during the busiest weeks of the year.
What causes most chimney problems in Bunnell?
Salt air and water. Being near the coast, Bunnell chimneys lose metal components first, caps, dampers and flashing corrode faster than inland, and wind-driven rain then finds its way through whatever gap that opens up.
