How we can help
Integrate masonry, metal, and roofing correctly
A chimney transition may include step flashing, counterflashing, apron flashing, a back pan or cricket, and surrounding roofing. Each layer needs to move water onto the roof surface without relying on exposed sealant as the primary defense.
We inspect the chimney perimeter and nearby roof before explaining which materials must be removed and rebuilt. Masonry damage may require a qualified masonry professional.

Common questions
Questions about chimney flashing repair
Can chimney flashing be sealed without replacement?
Minor maintenance may use compatible sealant, but failed or poorly integrated metal usually requires a more complete repair.
Could the chimney masonry be causing the leak?
Yes. Caps, mortar joints, porous masonry, and other conditions can admit water separately from roof flashing.
Will nearby shingles need removal?
Often, because flashing must integrate beneath and between surrounding roofing materials.
