About this service
Flashing is the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof, and it is the most common point for leaks. If the metal is rusted, bent, or the sealant has dried out, water will enter your home. We inspect the existing seals and replace damaged flashing to restore a watertight barrier. Costs typically depend on the roof pitch and the amount of metal work required. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.
