Amigos Roofing and Construction | Roofing Services in Lexington, KY 40516

Regular fireplace cleaning by our chimney sweeps removes creosote buildup and inspects the chimney crown and flashing—the metal sealing where the chimney meets the roof. In Lexington, roof flashing separation is a common issue often worsened by water intrusion from a compromised chimney. Our service ensures this critical seal is intact, preventing water from seeping in and damaging your roof deck, attic, and interior walls, effectively addressing a key local roofing problem.

For an aging roof, we recommend starting with a gutter inspection and cleaning. In Lexington, clogged gutters are a primary cause of water backup, which accelerates shingle deterioration and can worsen existing flashing problems. Once gutters are clear and functioning, a chimney sweep service can then safely assess the chimney's exterior and flashing without interference from overflow. This two-step approach tackles the most urgent water management issues first, protecting your older roof's lifespan.

Absolutely. During our professional fireplace and chimney cleaning service, our certified technicians inspect the entire chimney structure from the interior firebox to the exterior roof penetration. We specifically look for early warning signs common in Lexington, like cracked or missing mortar around the chimney (which can lead to flashing separation) and granule loss from aging shingles on the surrounding roof. This allows us to alert you to potential problems before they become major leaks, saving you significant repair costs.
