Yes, chimney flashing leaks are very common here due to our wet climate and the natural settling of homes over time. We inspect the existing flashing for corrosion, cracks, or separation from the chimney bricks and roof deck. Our repair involves carefully removing the compromised sections, installing new, code-compliant step flashing and counter-flashing sealed with premium waterproofing, ensuring a watertight seal that lasts.

Signs include excessive heat in your attic, ice dams in winter, premature curling of roof shingles, and persistent moisture or mold. In our climate, poor ventilation traps warm, moist air, which can rot roof decking, reduce insulation effectiveness, and drastically shorten your roof's lifespan. We assess your current ventilation system and can install solutions like ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered fans to create proper airflow and protect your investment.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the roof's age, the extent of damage (like widespread leaks or deck rot), and the condition of the underlying materials. After a storm or discovering a leak, we recommend a professional inspection. We'll provide a clear, honest assessment—often, localized issues like a few damaged shingles or failed flashing can be repaired. However, if the roof is near the end of its service life or has systemic failure, a replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution.
