Cost

What affects the cost

Every job is priced after we look at it. These are the things that move the number.

Roof cost guide for NJ
  • Chimney width (a cricket is needed on wide ones)
  • Roof pitch and height
  • Whether shingles around the chimney can be reused or need replacing
  • Crown repair vs. a new poured crown
  • Extra repointing
  • Doing it with a full roof replacement (usually the cheapest time)
FAQ

How we fix chimney flashing and crowns

Can't you just seal around the chimney?

Sealant lasts a season or two. It cracks with the freeze-thaw cycle and the leak comes back. Proper step and counter-flashing lasts as long as the roof.

How do I know if it's the flashing or the chimney itself?

Stains only after heavy, wind-driven rain often point to flashing. Stains after every rain, or white marks on the brick, often point to the crown or the brick. We check both and show you photos.

Do you need to replace my whole roof to redo the flashing?

No. We remove and replace the shingles around the chimney only. If your roof is due for replacement soon, it's worth doing both at once.

What's a cricket?

A small peaked section behind a wide chimney that splits water around it instead of letting it pool. Many older homes don't have one.

How long does a crown repair take?

Usually a day, plus curing time before heavy rain.
