Flashing and Chimney Repair
Flashing is the thin metal that keeps water out where the roof meets walls, chimneys, vents and valleys. It is where many leaks begin. We replace worn flashing with properly lapped metal, add chimney crickets where needed and seal penetrations the right way.

Questions
About flashing and chimney repair
Can flashing be repaired with caulk?
Caulk is a short-term patch. Replacing the metal and lapping it correctly is a lasting repair.
Do you repair the chimney bricks too?
We repair roof-side flashing and can point you to a mason for brick or mortar repair.
What is a chimney cricket?
It is a small peaked saddle behind a chimney on the high side of the roof that diverts water around it.
