Full Flashing Tear-off

In addition, we strip old step, counter, and apron flashing back to sound decking — no caulk-over shortcuts that fail the next freeze-thaw cycle. Not sure what step, counter, or apron flashing means? Our roofing terms glossary breaks down every term we use on this page.

New Metal, Sealed Right

As a result, copper or 26-gauge galvanized step flashing woven course-by-course into shingles, counter flashing cut into a fresh mortar reglet.

Chimney Crown & Mortar Check

For example, while the flashing is off we inspect the crown, mortar joints, and cricket — three failure points that let water back in even after new flashing.

Written 5-Year Warranty

In fact, every flashing repair ships with a written workmanship warranty covering the sealed joint against leaks and metal lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my chimney flashing needs full replacement, not just resealing?
If the sealant is peeling, the metal is rusted through, or the counter flashing was never cut into the brick mortar, resealing will fail within a season. For example, a cracked or lifted flashing joint always needs new metal — we show you the failure on-camera before quoting.
How long does a chimney flashing repair take?
Most single-chimney reflashes on an asphalt-shingle roof take 4 to 6 hours on-site once we are up. In fact, larger stone chimneys, cricket installs, or paired mortar work can push into a second day.
What materials do you use for the new flashing?
We default to 16-ounce copper or 26-gauge galvanized steel step flashing, woven course-by-course into the shingles. Similarly, counter flashing is cut into a fresh mortar reglet and sealed with polyurethane, not silicone.
Will you match my existing shingles?
Yes. Because of this, we lift shingles rather than cut them where possible, and any shingles we do replace are matched from current-run stock. What’s more, bring us the wrapper or a spare shingle and we source the exact color.

More Questions Homeowners Ask

Do you provide a written estimate before starting?
Every job gets an itemized written quote listing labor, materials, and disposal — no verbal ballparks. In particular, you approve the scope in writing before we schedule the crew.
Is chimney flashing repair covered by homeowners insurance?
If the flashing failed due to a covered event (hail, wind, tree impact) it is often covered — routine wear-and-tear is not. In addition, we document the failure with photos and a written scope for your adjuster on request.
Can you repair chimney flashing in the winter?
Yes, provided the roof is dry and above roughly 40°F for sealant cure. As a result, pittsburgh’s freeze-thaw cycle makes winter flashing failures the most common — we work year-round when conditions allow.
Do I need a permit for chimney flashing repair in Pittsburgh?
Straight repair or replacement of existing flashing typically does not require a permit in Pittsburgh. For example, if work extends into masonry rebuilding or a full roof section, we pull the permit for you.
