Chimney and Flashing Repair

A chimney looks solid from the outside. But the flashing around it, the thin metal barrier that seals the gap between your chimney and your roof, is one of the most common sources of roof leaks. When it lifts, cracks, or pulls away, water gets in every time it rains.

What Is Chimney Flashing and Why Does It Fail?

Chimney flashing is the metal material installed where your chimney meets the roofline. It creates a waterproof seal that keeps rain from running down into your home. Over time, flashing can corrode, loosen, or crack due to temperature changes, settling, or age. Even a small gap is enough to let water in.

How do I know if my chimney flashing is leaking?

Look for water stains on your ceiling near the chimney, damp spots on interior walls, or visible rust and separation around the base of the chimney on your roof. If you see any of these, call us right away. Flashing leaks get worse with every rain.

Our Chimney Flashing Repair Process

We do not just patch the surface. We inspect the full flashing system, identify every weak point, and repair or replace what needs attention. Our goal is a watertight seal that lasts, not a quick fix that fails again in six months.

Chimney Cap and Crown Repair

While we are up there, we also inspect and repair chimney caps and crowns. A damaged chimney cap lets rain, debris, and animals enter your chimney. A cracked crown allows water to seep into the chimney structure itself. We address all of it so your chimney stays protected from top to bottom.

What is the difference between a chimney cap and a chimney crown?

A chimney cap sits on top of the flue opening and keeps rain and animals out. The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar layer that covers the top of the chimney structure itself, sloping water away from the flue. Both need to be in good shape to prevent water damage.

Skylight and Roof Window Installation

A well-placed skylight brings natural light into your home, reduces your dependence on artificial lighting, and makes any room feel more open and inviting. Done right, a skylight adds real value to your property. Done wrong, it becomes a leak waiting to happen.

Professional Skylight Installation

We install skylights with the precision and care that a roof penetration demands. Every skylight installation includes proper flashing, sealing, and integration with your existing roofing system. We make sure your new skylight looks great and stays leak-free for years to come.

What should I consider before installing a skylight?

Think about placement, size, and the type of skylight that fits your needs. Fixed skylights let in light but do not open. Vented skylights also allow airflow, which is great for kitchens and bathrooms. We help you choose the right option for your space and your roof.

Roof Window Installation

Roof windows are similar to skylights but are typically installed at a lower pitch and designed to be opened for ventilation. They are a popular choice for converted attic spaces and upper-floor rooms. We install roof windows that fit seamlessly into your roofline and seal properly against the elements.

Skylight Repair and Resealing

An older skylight that has started to leak or fog up does not always need a full replacement. We inspect existing skylights, reseal failing edges, replace damaged flashing, and restore proper weatherproofing. If a full replacement makes more sense, we will tell you honestly and walk you through your options.

Why is my skylight leaking?

Most skylight leaks come from failed flashing or deteriorated sealant around the frame rather than from the glass itself. Condensation between panes usually means the seal on the glazing has broken. Both issues are repairable, and we can tell you exactly what is going on after a quick inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney and Skylight Services in Dayton, OH

  • How long does chimney flashing repair take?

    Most chimney flashing repairs are completed within a few hours to a full day depending on the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding roofing materials.

  • How long does skylight installation take?

    A standard skylight installation typically takes one day. We handle everything from the roof opening to the interior finishing so you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors.

    Most roof types can accommodate a skylight with the right preparation and flashing. We assess your roof first and let you know if any additional work is needed before installation begins.
