Chimney Flashing Repair in Maryland
When the stain appears on the ceiling beside the chimney, the flashing is the first suspect. We rebuild step flashing and counter-flashing properly — metal woven into the shingles and reglet-set into the mortar — instead of smearing another layer of tar over the failure.

About This Service
Roofers patch flashing with caulk and roof cement; both crack within a couple of Maryland summers and the leak returns. Real flashing repair means removing failed material, installing step flashing shingle-by-shingle, and cutting counter-flashing into a mortar joint where it is mechanically locked and sealed. It is the difference between a repair and a ritual.
What's Included
- Full step-flashing replacement
- Counter-flashing cut into the mortar joint
- Cricket and saddle assessment on wide chimneys
- Water-test verification before we leave
- Photo documentation of the finished joint

How It Works
Our Chimney Flashing Repair Process
1
Diagnose
We separate flashing leaks from crown and masonry leaks first — they look alike from the ceiling.
2
Strip
Failed flashing, tar and caulk are removed down to sound material.
3
Rebuild
New step and counter-flashing go in, woven with the shingles and set into the joint.
4
Water test
The repair is hose-tested so the fix is proven, not hoped for.
FAQ
Chimney Flashing Repair — Questions, Answered
Why did the last flashing repair fail?
Surface patches — tar, caulk, roof cement — cannot move with the roof and chimney. They crack, and the leak resumes. Proper flashing is mechanical, not glued on.
Is my leak definitely the flashing?
Not always — crowns and porous masonry mimic flashing leaks. We diagnose first and show you the evidence before quoting.
Do you work with my roofer?
Yes. We handle the chimney side; if shingles beyond the flashing need work we say so plainly and coordinate.
How long does flashing last?
Properly installed metal flashing lasts decades — typically as long as the roof around it.
