Chimney flashing
Step and counter-flashing around the chimney base keep water out of the masonry joint.
Roof Flashing Repair
Seal the joints where leaks begin
Flashing is the thin metal that seals the joints where your roof meets a chimney, wall, skylight, vent or valley. It directs water away from the seams that shingles alone can't cover.
Over time flashing rusts, bends, pulls loose or the sealant around it dries and cracks. When that happens, water runs straight into the wall or attic. We remove failed flashing and install new step, counter, valley or drip edge flashing the right way, instead of just covering it with caulk.

FAQ
Roof Flashing Repair questions
What is roof flashing?
Flashing is metal installed at roof joints, such as around chimneys, skylights, vents, walls and valleys, to direct water away from seams.
Can flashing be repaired or does it need replacing?
Small problems like loose pieces or cracked sealant can be repaired. Rusted, bent or badly installed flashing should be replaced.
How much does flashing repair cost?
Flashing repair usually costs between $200 and $700 or more, depending on the location, such as a chimney or skylight, and how much needs replacing.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy rain?
Heavy, wind-driven rain pushes water into gaps in worn flashing or cracked mortar that light rain doesn't reach. It's a common sign the chimney flashing needs attention.
