Chimney flashing repairs for homes in Sulphur Springs

Reflashing during a new roof

The ideal moment to reflash a chimney is while the roof around it is open. The old covering is off, the base flashing is exposed and new metal can be woven into the new roof from the deck up.

If you are planning a new roof for your home in Sulphur Springs, let us know before the roofers reach the chimney. Our specialists inspect the masonry and counter flashing at no charge, and the chimney side can be finished in step with the roof, so nobody has to tear into brand new shingles or tile later.

Agreeing who does each side of the junction

Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roof side ties into the roof covering, and the chimney side ties into the masonry. When two crews each assume the other is handling the joint, it can be left half done under a new roof.

Before work starts, our team puts in writing which pieces we install, which ones your roofer installs and in what order. That keeps the base flashing, the counter flashing and any cricket work in one sequence, and it gives you one clear record of who did what.

What your flashing estimate spells out

A flashing estimate should say more than replace flashing. Ours spells out the details below, along with any brick, deck or roof covering work that goes with them.

Prices are upfront, there are no hidden fees, and our workmanship warranty covers the flashing we install. Booking within 72 hours of the free inspection in Sulphur Springs also takes 10% off.

Finishing the ceiling after the leak stops

A water stain stays after the leak behind it is fixed. Drywall and plaster also need time to dry before painting, or the stain can bleed back through the new coat.

Our team fixes the chimney side first and checks in once the next rains have passed without a new mark. Interior repairs can then go ahead on a dry ceiling, and you avoid repainting over a leak that is still active.
