Chimney flashing is the most common source of roof leaks. The junction between the chimney and roof requires step flashing woven into the shingle courses, counter flashing embedded in the mortar joints, and a cricket (saddle) on the uphill side to divert water. Over time, caulk fails, mortar deteriorates, and flashing corrodes, allowing water to penetrate. Our chimney flashing repair includes removing old flashing, installing new step and counter flashing (aluminum or copper), building or repairing the cricket, and sealing all joints. This targeted repair prevents water damage to the attic, walls, and ceiling below.

Gustine se encuentra en el condado de Merced (San Joaquin Valley). Tiny dairy-farming community with affordable older homes and rural lots. El proveedor local de energia es PG&E.

Chimney Flashing Repair en Gustine — Preguntas Frecuentes

How much does chimney flashing repair cost?+

Chimney flashing repair in NorCal costs $500-$1,500 depending on chimney size, accessibility, and whether a cricket needs to be built. Full flashing replacement with a new cricket runs $1,000-$2,000.

How do I know if my chimney flashing is leaking?+

Look for water stains on the ceiling or walls near the chimney, especially after rain. In the attic, check for moisture, dark staining, or rot on the framing around the chimney. Visible gaps between the flashing and chimney are a clear sign.

What is a chimney cricket and do I need one?+

A cricket (also called a saddle) is a peaked structure on the uphill side of a chimney that diverts water around it. Building code requires a cricket on any chimney wider than 30 inches on the uphill side. Without one, water pools behind the chimney and eventually leaks.

Should I use aluminum or copper flashing?+

Aluminum is the standard choice and lasts 20-30 years. Copper lasts 50+ years and develops a beautiful patina but costs 3-4x more. For most NorCal homes, aluminum flashing is the best value.
