Chimney Flashing FAQs
What causes chimney flashing to fail?
Common causes include age deterioration, thermal expansion/contraction, improper installation, settling of the home, storm damage, and deteriorating mortar joints. Most flashing lasts 15-25 years before needing replacement.
How much does chimney flashing repair cost in Charlotte?
Minor repairs typically cost $200-$500. Full flashing replacement runs $500-$1,500 depending on chimney size. Cricket installation adds $300-$800. We provide free estimates.
Can you repair flashing without replacing my roof?
Yes! Chimney flashing repair is a standalone service. We carefully remove surrounding shingles, repair or replace the flashing, and reinstall the shingles without disturbing the rest of your roof.
What is a chimney cricket and do I need one?
A cricket (or saddle) is a peaked structure that diverts water around wide chimneys. Building code typically requires crickets for chimneys wider than 30 inches. They prevent water pooling and extend flashing life.
How long does chimney flashing repair take?
Most repairs take 2-4 hours. Complete flashing replacement takes 4-6 hours. Cricket installation may add 2-3 hours. We complete most jobs in a single day.
Should I use a roofer or mason for chimney flashing?
A roofer is typically best for flashing work since it integrates with your roofing system. However, if you have damaged mortar joints or chimney masonry, you may need a mason first, then a roofer for the flashing.
