From Newman Village to Frisco Lakes, we repair storm-damaged chase siding, flashing, and rot on the metal chase chimneys that top most Frisco homes.
Frisco's rooftops look a little different from the older masonry towns nearby — walk through Starwood, Phillips Creek Ranch, or Panther Creek and you'll mostly see metal chase chimneys wrapped in siding, not stacked brick. That's because the vast majority of Frisco was built after 1995, when factory-built, prefab fireplace systems became standard. The chase — the boxy enclosure around the metal flue — takes the brunt of Frisco's weather, and when its siding, trim, sheathing, or flashing fails, water finds its way in fast. Chimney Chase Repair from Lowes Chimney Sweep focuses on fixing that structure itself, not swapping the cover or tearing down and rebuilding.
This service is about the chase enclosure, not the chase cover on top or a full masonry rebuild. That means:
If your cover is rusted through or missing entirely, that's a related fix — see chase cover replacement — but the surrounding structure often needs attention too, especially once water has been sitting against wood framing for a season or two.
Frisco's newer housing stock means fewer century-old masonry chimneys and far more exposed, elevated metal chase chimneys sitting on relatively open rooflines in neighborhoods like Frisco Lakes and Newman Village. Those chases catch the full force of North Texas spring storms — hail that dents and cracks siding and flashing, and straight-line wind that can peel back trim or loosen fasteners in a single afternoon. On top of that, Frisco sits on notoriously active clay soil, and the seasonal shrink-swell cycle can shift foundations just enough to stress the chase's connection points, opening gaps that let water behind the siding. Once moisture gets past a compromised chase cover or flashing, the plywood sheathing and framing underneath start to rot from the inside, often invisibly until siding starts to bow or discolor.
A thorough chimney inspection is the fastest way to confirm whether it's the chase structure, the cover, or flashing that's letting water in — and to catch it before it reaches the prefab firebox system itself.
Frisco's spring hail and wind seasons are hard on exposed metal chase chimneys — we'll tell you exactly what's needed.
(214) 225-8874We start by identifying the actual point of failure — siding, trim, sheathing, or flashing — rather than assuming a full component swap is needed. Damaged sections are removed, any rotted sheathing or framing underneath is addressed, and new materials are installed and properly flashed to shed water correctly. If the cricket behind the chase is undersized or damaged, we'll flag it, since a weak cricket is a common reason chase siding keeps failing in the same spot after every storm season. For homeowners dealing with an active leak right now, our chimney leak repair team can also stop water intrusion while chase repairs are scheduled.
Every quote depends on a handful of real factors: how much siding and trim needs replacing, whether sheathing or framing underneath has rotted and needs rebuilding, the condition of the flashing and cricket, and how accessible the chase is on your particular roofline. A newer prefab chase in Panther Creek with isolated hail damage is a very different job than one in an older Frisco pour with years of slow leak damage behind the siding. We don't quote sight-unseen numbers over the phone — we inspect the chase, explain exactly what's failing, and provide a Free Online Quote before any work begins, with all services starting at $99. Our crews are certified, insured, and available seven days a week, including Sundays, across Frisco and the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area. Check our guide to spotting hail damage on your chimney or our Frisco spring storm chimney checklist for what to look for before you call.

Most of Frisco was built after 1995, and that era of construction favored factory-built, prefab fireplace systems housed in a framed, siding-wrapped chase rather than stacked masonry. It's why neighborhoods like Newman Village and Frisco Lakes almost universally have chase chimneys instead of century-old brick stacks.
The cover is the metal cap on top; the chase is the framed, sided structure below it. If your siding is bowed, streaked, or soft to the touch, or flashing at the roofline is lifting, that points to the chase itself rather than the cover — though a failed cover is often what let the water in to begin with.
Yes — Frisco's newer subdivisions tend to have more exposed rooflines, and spring hail and straight-line wind hit chase siding, trim, and flashing hard every year. We see a noticeable jump in chase repair calls in Frisco right after major spring storm systems move through.
It can. Frisco sits on expansive clay soil that shrinks and swells seasonally, and that movement can stress the connection points where the chase meets the house, gradually opening small gaps in trim or flashing that let water behind the siding over time.
In most Frisco cases we're repairing the specific failed area — a siding panel, trim board, or flashing run — rather than doing a full rebuild. We inspect first and give you a Free Online Quote based on exactly what's damaged, not a blanket estimate.
