Chimney flashing repair
Flashing manages the intersection between roof and chimney. Good leak diagnosis distinguishes this joint from the cap, crown and porous masonry before proposing metal repair or replacement.

Straight answers
Chimney flashing repair questions
What should I understand before booking this work?
A bead of sealant may be a temporary measure, not a durable reconstruction of failed flashing. Ask the contractor to distinguish those scopes explicitly.
Does every chimney sweep provide this specialist service?
No. The directory filter shows companies reporting a broader related service, not verified expertise in this specific work. Confirm the exact scope, technician experience, equipment and current insurance directly.
