About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Garfield, NJ Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in New Jersey covers older brick homes in towns across the state, shore houses facing coastal wind and suburban colonials with fireplaces. Nor'easters and coastal storms drive rain sideways into loose flashing, and Hurricane Sandy in 2012 showed how hard the shore can be hit. Winter freeze-thaw cracks crowns and opens mortar joints. Many shore towns also have older homes with chimneys that have been through several storms and a few rounds of roofing.

  • Step flashing woven under every shingle course
  • Counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint, not caulked to the brick
  • Crowns rebuilt with a slope and a drip edge

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Garfield, NJ: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in New Jersey depends on how close you are to the water. Near the shore, our crew uses aluminum, copper or stainless materials that hold up to salt air. Inland, we focus on the masonry: crowns, mortar joints and a breathable water repellent where the brick soaks up rain. We regrind reglets for counter flashing instead of caulking. We also build crickets behind wide chimneys and check valleys that run into the brick. After storms, we tarp first and come back for the permanent fix once the roof is dry.

Chimneys are the whole job

Chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair are what we do. We do not sell full roofs or siding.

Step and counter flashing

Each step piece overlaps the one below and nails to the deck, never the brick. Counter flashing goes into a ground reglet.

Crickets where code calls for them

A chimney wider than 30 inches needs a cricket on the uphill side. We build them when they are missing.

Masonry done right

Soft lime mortar on old soft brick. Sloped concrete crowns, not flat mortar caps.

Leaks without a chimney

Wall flashing, skylights, vent boots and valleys use the same methods, and we fix those too.

Photos of the work

You see what failed and what we replaced, which helps if you are talking to an insurer.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Garfield, NJ

01

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions Garfield, NJ homeowners ask about chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair.

Call (833) 583-1301
Do I need a chimney cricket?
Building code calls for a cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than 30 inches, unless the chimney sits on the ridge. Even on a narrower chimney, a cricket helps if you see leaves piling up or water ponding behind the brick after a storm.
How long does chimney flashing repair take?
Most step and counter flashing jobs on a single chimney take a day. Adding a cricket, crown rebuild or tuckpointing can make it two. Waterproofing is often a second visit because fresh mortar needs time to cure first.
Will you match my existing shingles?
We reuse the shingles we remove when they are in good shape and bring matching replacements when they are not. On older roofs the color may not be a perfect match, and we will tell you that before we start.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
On most asphalt shingle roofs we use aluminum or galvanized steel. On slate, cedar or historic homes we use copper, which lasts as long as the roof. We avoid pairing copper with galvanized steel or aluminum on the same detail because the two corrode each other.
Can a chimney leak be fixed in winter?
Flashing and caps can be installed in cold weather if the roof is dry and free of ice. Mortar work and crown repairs need temperatures above about 40 degrees for the mix to cure, so in cold months we may tarp and flash first, then finish the masonry in spring.
