Chimney Flashing Repair in West Michigan
The #1 source of roof leaks isn't the roof — it's the chimney flashing. We do it right.
If your roof is leaking, the chimney is the most likely culprit. Most chimney leaks come from improper flashing — usually a single piece of bent metal caulked against the brick instead of a proper step-flashing system woven into the shingles and tied into a counter-flashing cut into the mortar joints.
We install chimney flashing the way it's meant to be done: stepped under each shingle course, with a separate counter-flashing tucked into reglet cuts in the mortar. For wider chimneys on the up-slope side of a roof, we'll add a cricket — a small peaked diverter that splits water around the chimney instead of letting it pool against the back.
Done correctly once, this work lasts as long as your roof.
