About this service
Flashing is the metal seal where the chimney meets your roof. If this seal is damaged or rusted, water will seep directly into your home, causing internal rot and ceiling damage. We replace or reseal the flashing to restore a watertight barrier. The price is determined by the size of the chimney base and the complexity of your roof pitch. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Since your fireplace is likely dormant, we can complete structural work without disrupting your home life. From tuckpointing to chimney cap replacements, we tackle the projects that are harder to manage during the cold months. Call us now to get your repairs finished while the weather stays cooperative.
