Flashing & Chimney Repair in Maplewood
Shingles take the blame for leaks that flashing caused. Anywhere a Maplewood roof changes direction or meets something (a chimney, a sidewall, a dormer, a valley), thin metal does the real waterproofing, and that metal is exactly where production builders saved their minutes when these neighborhoods went up.
We open ceilings behind the same three shortcuts over and over: step flashing replaced by one long bent strip, counterflashing surface-glued to the brick instead of cut into a mortar joint, and kick-out flashing skipped entirely where a roof edge dies into a wall, sending years of runoff straight behind the siding.
Fixed in Metal, Not Caulk
Caulk smeared over flashing is a countdown timer, two or three years at best. Our repairs rebuild the system: new step flashing woven into the shingle courses, counterflashing set into a ground reglet joint, and a cricket behind any wide chimney so water splits and sheds instead of pooling. Everything gets photographed before the shingles close back over it.
A mystery stain near the chimney chase is usually this problem, but confirm before you spend: our leak repair team diagnoses first and fixes second. A full roof inspection catches failing flashing before the ceiling reports it. More detail lives on the flashing and chimney repair page, and the rest of our services are on the Maplewood hub.
