“They repaired my chimney that was worn out and leaking, in a timely manner and at a very reasonable price. Very neat and clean job.”
Cracked crowns, open mortar joints and failed step or counter-flashing. In older capes and colonials this is the leak we find most often.
The rubber collar cracks in the sun after 10–15 years and water runs down the pipe into the bathroom ceiling.
Where two slopes meet, leaves pile up and water runs heaviest.
Where a roof meets siding, missing or rusted step flashing lets rain behind the wall.
Old curb flashing or a failed seal on the glass. See skylights.
Snow melts over a warm attic, refreezes at the gutter, and backs water under the shingles. See attic ventilation.
Does it leak in every rain, only in wind-driven rain, or only when snow melts? That tells us a lot before we climb.
Water stains on the rafters and decking usually point uphill to the source.
Flashing, boots, valleys, the chimney, nails that have backed out.
Photos on your phone and a written price for the repair.
New flashing bent on site, new boots, chimney repointing or a new crown if that's the source. We don't just caulk over it.
If it's raining into the house, we tarp the area and come back to repair it properly. See emergency roof repair.
Most chimney leaks need two trades: a roofer for the flashing and a mason for the brick and crown. When they're different companies, each one can blame the other. Our crew started in masonry before roofing, so we fix the flashing and the chimney in the same visit. See chimney flashing & crown repair.

Often not. Water runs along rafters and the deck before it drips. That's why we start in the attic and work uphill.
Usually flashing: at the chimney, a wall or a skylight. Shingles on a newer roof rarely fail on their own. We'll find it and tell you if it's an installation defect you should raise with the original installer.
We can tarp in the rain to stop the water. The permanent repair needs a dry roof.
We check both. Water through the brick, a cracked crown or a missing cap can look exactly like a roof leak. We fix whichever it is.
Rarely for long. Sealant is a short-term patch. We replace the failed flashing or boot.
Sudden damage from a storm often is covered; slow wear usually isn't. We give you photos and a written scope for your claim. See storm damage.
For an active leak we aim for the same or next day.
Our crew drives out from Banta Ave every morning. These are the counties we work in most.
