Counter flashing replacement
Flashing that is only caulked to the chimney face always fails. Proper counter flashing is cut into the mortar joint and sealed, so it moves with the house, not against it.

What our chimney flashing repair covers
Step flashing repair
Where the roof meets the chimney sides, step flashing works piece by piece with the shingles. Missing or face nailed pieces are a classic leak we rebuild correctly.
Chimney cricket and pan work
Wide chimneys on the low side collect water and debris. A cricket or a properly formed pan moves water around the chimney instead of pooling it.

A handyman caulked my chimney and it still leaks. Why?
Caulk on the surface is a temporary skin, not flashing. Water gets behind it within a season or two. Real flashing is metal worked into the shingle courses and the mortar joint, which is why it lasts.
