Chimney Flashing Repair in Pittsburgh homes
Pittsburgh's older homes have brick chimneys with step and counter flashing that fails over decades. Freeze-thaw cracks the sealant and the mortar, and wind drives rain under lifted metal. The chimney is the single most common roof leak spot. We repair or replace the flashing, re-seal the joints, and check the mortar. We trace the water to confirm the chimney is the source before we touch it.
Why choose us
Water-first dispatch
We stop the water before we talk about anything else. A tarp or a leak stop protects your home and your belongings while we plan the permanent repair. The first call is about keeping you dry, not about selling you a new roof.
Insurance-ready photo documentation
We photograph the damage, the cause, and what we did, and we hand you a clear summary. Your adjuster gets what they need to make a decision. Coverage is always your carrier's decision, but our photos support your claim.
Honest repair-vs-replace calls
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the roof is at the end of its life or the damage is too widespread, we say replacement makes sense. We give you the real answer and a price for both. The decision is always yours.
