Accurate Chimney Specialist | Roofing Services in Rutherford, NJ 07070

A thorough fireplace and chimney cleaning from our experts involves a full inspection of the entire system. As we clean, we check the condition of the chimney crown and the surrounding roof flashing—the metal seals that are crucial for waterproofing. We often spot early signs of separation or corrosion that homeowners miss. Catching flashing issues early during a routine cleaning prevents minor leaks from turning into major roof and interior water damage, saving you significant repair costs.

Not necessarily. In many Rutherford homes, isolated flashing failure around the chimney is a common, repairable issue. As roofing and chimney specialists, we assess the specific damage. Often, we can remove the old, failed flashing, make any necessary repairs to the roof deck, and install new, code-compliant flashing that integrates seamlessly with your existing roof. This targeted repair addresses the root cause without the need for a full roof replacement, provided the surrounding shingles are in good condition.

Rutherford's seasonal temperature swings cause materials to expand and contract, which can weaken the seals over time. Older homes may have outdated flashing techniques. Our fix is precise and durable. We carefully remove the old flashing, clean and prepare the area, and custom-fit new, high-grade aluminum or copper flashing. We secure it with proper counter-flashing into the chimney mortar and seal it with high-quality, flexible sealants designed to withstand our local climate, creating a long-lasting, watertight barrier.
