Deteriorated Sealant

Old caulk and tar dry out and crack, allowing water penetration. We remove failed sealant and install proper metal flashing systems.

Understanding Chimney Flashing Systems

Proper chimney flashing uses a two-part system:

Step Flashing

L-shaped metal pieces that weave between roof shingles and run up the side of the chimney. These create the first line of defense against water.

Counter Flashing

Metal pieces in mortar joints overlap step flashing, preventing water from running behind and causing leaks or long-term chimney and roof damage.

Why proper installation matters

Many roofers rely on caulking that fails quickly; we install proper flashing using proven methods built to last decades.

Flashing Materials: Which Is Right for You?
