Chimney Flashing

I was able to take a couple photos of some preparation for chimney flashing. See Jose! Unfortunately, chimneys are notorious for leaking, and the culprit is almost always the sheet metal flashings. Just ask any roofer. At New Look we suggest always installing a new chimney flashing if it’s missing, rusted through, falling out or completely covered with roofing tar (a typical short-term fix that’s sure to be hiding bigger problems). It’s also a good time to install new flashing when you put on new shingles because you’ll want it to last as long as the new roofing (25 to 40 years).

For any questions or comments, please feel free to email us at jwest@newlookroofs.com, we hope you have a great day and thanks for reading!
