Chimney Flashing Repair
Step flashing + counter-flashing reglet repair — the only durable fix for leaks where the chimney penetrates the roof. Caulk-only repairs fail within 2 years; we cut new reglets and install proper two-layer flashing.
What is chimney flashing repair?
Flashing is the metal-and-sealant barrier where the chimney meets the roofline. It's the #1 source of chimney leaks. Proper flashing uses step flashing, counter-flashing set into the mortar, and a watertight seal — not just a smear of tar.
Common signs you need this service

Common questions about chimney flashing repair.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.
Are your technicians certified?
Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.
Do you provide written quotes before work begins?
Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.
What's the Chimney Care Plan membership?
Chimney Care Plan is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
