Line items to look for on a quote
A clean chase cover quote itemises: labour hours, materials with brand names, dump/haul fees, permits (where required), and a written warranty term. Anything lumped as "misc" or "shop supplies" over 5% is worth questioning.
Why Cambridge pricing differs from neighbouring cities
Cambridge's 82% natural gas mix drives which chase cover scopes come up most. 6% of the housing stock predates 1960, which is why chase cover jobs here average slightly more site prep than newer suburbs.

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
