Why this matters in DFW specifically
Richardson sits in the same DFW climate zone — freeze-thaw cycling, hailstorm exposure, expansive clay soil, and a wet-fall pattern that drives chimney aging faster than dry climates. The Richardson variation is in housing era and chimney-system type, not in the underlying climate stress. Our chase cover replacement approach is consistent DFW-wide; we just adjust scope and access for what Richardson housing stock specifically presents.
