Expert Chimney Flashing Repair in Charlotte, NC: Stop Leaks Permanently

We frequently visit homes in Myers Park, Dilworth, and Ballantyne where flashing has failed prematurely. The causes are often specific to our local environment:

• Thermal Expansion: North Carolina sees rapid temperature swings. Metal flashing expands in the heat and contracts in the cold. Without properly installed expansion joints, this movement shears the sealant and pops nails loose.
• Improper 'Mastic' Repairs: Many unskilled roofers in the 282xx area simply slather tar (mastic) over old flashing. This is a temporary band-aid that cracks within months under the UV rays of the southern sun.
• Storm Damage: High winds in Gastonia and Mooresville frequently lift flashing that wasn't properly keyed into the mortar joints.

We do not do 'patch jobs'. Our process involves a full restoration of the water barrier:

1. Inspection & Removal: We remove the damaged flashing and inspect the underlying decking for rot.
2. Base Flashing Installation: We install an L-shaped base flashing that extends up the chimney and onto the roof, woven under the shingles.
3. Counter Flashing (The Key): We cut a 'reglet' (a groove) into the mortar joints of your chimney. The counter flashing is inserted into this groove and sealed, ensuring water cannot run behind the metal. This is the only NFPA-compliant method for long-term durability.
4. Custom Fabrication: Whether you have a historic home in Salisbury or a new build in Concord, we bend the metal on-site to ensure a custom fit.
