Jims contracting | Roofing Services in Bear, DE 19701

In Bear, our weather cycles of freeze-thaw, heavy rain, and sun exposure put constant stress on roof flashing, especially around chimneys. This area is a complex joint where different materials meet, making it vulnerable. Over time, the sealant can dry out, metal can corrode, or the flashing itself can loosen, creating gaps for water to seep in. Our roofing experts are trained to diagnose and repair these specific local failure points to prevent interior water damage.

Absolutely. As a full-service contractor specializing in both roofing and masonry, we are uniquely equipped to handle leaking chimney flashing from both sides. Often, the issue involves both the roof shingles/flashing and the chimney's brickwork or crown. Our integrated team can repair or replace the roof flashing, repoint damaged mortar, and seal the chimney structure as one coordinated project, ensuring a complete and watertight solution for your Bear home.

A professional repair starts with a thorough inspection to locate all leak sources and assess corrosion. For replacement, we carefully remove the old, compromised flashing. We then fabricate and install new, code-compliant flashing—often using durable metals like aluminum or galvanized steel—custom-fitted to your roof's pitch and chimney. The key is in the sealing: we use high-grade waterproof sealants and secure the flashing beneath the shingles and into the masonry to create a layered, durable barrier against Bear's weather.
