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.
As temperatures drop, everyone realizes their chimney needs attention at the same time. If you haven't had an inspection this year, it is vital to clear out blockages like bird nests or leaves before your first fire. We help you beat the rush so you can safely enjoy your fireplace as soon as the weather turns.
