Chimney flashing is one of the most important parts of your roofing system – and one of the most common sources of roof leaks when it fails.
Whether you’re dealing with a roof leak around your chimney or replacing an aging roof, our team can help protect your home from costly water damage.
Chimney flashing works as a waterproof barrier that seals the connection between your chimney and the roof surface. It is designed to direct water away from vulnerable areas where leaks are most likely to occur.
A proper chimney flashing system typically includes:
✔ Step flashing – installed along the sides of the chimney under each row of shingles
✔ Counter flashing – embedded into the chimney masonry to cover and protect step flashing
✔ Base flashing – seals the lower section where the chimney meets the roof slope
✔ Cap flashing (optional in some systems) – provides additional protection on top edges
Together, these components create a layered waterproof system that prevents rain, snow, and melting ice from entering the roof structure.
When installed correctly, chimney flashing channels water safely down the roof and into the gutters, helping protect your attic, insulation, and interior walls from leaks, mold, and structural damage.
Choosing the right material is key to performance, durability, and curb appeal. We install:
