Is $3,000 to replace chimney chase cover with stainless steel a fair price?
Project Details
I recently had a roof inspection, and my asphalt shingle roof is in overall good condition. However, the roofing company noted that my current chimney chase is wooden, and there's some concerning wood rot in that section. I'm trying to determine if the quotes are reasonable or if I'm being overcharged by the first company. I'm also considering inquiring about stainless steel pricing from the second company for a direct comparison, and I'm wondering if an aluminum cap would be sufficient long-term or if there are issues with it compared to stainless steel.
