Chimney Flashing Repair in Granbury, TX
The chimney-to-roof joint is the leak most homeowners chase for years because the failure is rarely where the stain shows. We trace the actual entry point, then install two-layer step and counter-flashing set into a cut reglet — the code-durable detail, not a caulk smear that fails inside two seasons. The finished flashing is water-tested before we leave, so the repair is proven against running water rather than signed off dry. Serving Granbury (2 ZIP codes, 11k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
Chimney Flashing Repair in Granbury
Flashing is the metal-and-sealant barrier where the chimney meets the roofline, and on our leak diagnoses it's the single most common documented water-entry point. A code-correct system is step flashing woven course-by-course into the shingles plus counter-flashing set into a saw-cut reglet in the masonry, sealed watertight — not a smear of roofing tar over the gap.

Built to code · Chimney Flashing Repair in Granbury
Chimney Flashing Repair is held to published national standards no matter the city. Our Granbury crew builds to these and documents the work; the locally-adopted code edition and permit requirements are confirmed with Granbury's authority on every job.
- Step + counter-flashing — Roofing tar in a bead is not a flashing detail; the code-correct transition is a two-part assembly, with step flashing woven course-by-course into the shingles and counter-flashing seated in a saw-cut reglet in the masonry.
- Cricket where slope warrants — Where roof slope and chimney width let water dam against the back wall, the accepted correction is a cricket (saddle) framed on the up-slope side. We build it on wide chimneys and on stacks sitting in a roof dead-valley so water and debris route around the stack instead of piling behind it.
- Watertight, mechanical joint — Surface caulk pulls away within a season, which is exactly why we mechanically set the counter-flashing and seal it into a backed reglet reservoir; the joint then stays watertight through the building's normal movement.
Scoped from a graded inspection

We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it.

Chimney Flashing Repair in Granbury — FAQ
How do I know the leak is coming from the flashing?
Flashing leaks typically show up as ceiling or wall stains around the chimney, damp or rotted framing in the attic near it, and rust streaks along the roofline. Since water tracks along framing before it drips, a proper diagnosis rules out the crown, cap, and masonry before pointing at the flashing.
Can't I just seal it with caulk or roofing tar?
A bead of sealant is a short-term patch that usually cracks and fails inside a season or two. The lasting fix is layered step flashing and counter-flashing woven into the shingle courses and locked into a cut mortar joint, not surface goo smeared over a failed assembly.
What happens if I ignore a flashing leak?
Left running, water intrusion rots roof decking and framing, soaks insulation, stains drywall, and feeds mold, and it can also break down the chimney masonry from the inside out. The longer it goes, the more hidden structure has to be replaced, and the repair bill climbs sharply.
How long does flashing repair take?
Most flashing repairs finish in a few hours to a day, depending on roof pitch, chimney size, and whether rotted decking turns up underneath. Steep roofs and replacing damaged sheathing add time, and hidden water damage is the usual reason a job runs longer than quoted.
Does new flashing come with any guarantee it won't leak again?
Reputable installers warranty their flashing work, and properly woven step-and-counter flashing should keep the roofline dry for many years. Insist the quote spell out the materials, the layering method, and the warranty term in writing before any work begins.
