When Old Bridge homeowners need chimney flashing repair, they need it done right the first time.

Chimney Flashing Repair in Old Bridge FAQs
Why do chimney leaks keep coming back in Old Bridge?
Because most are patched with caulk instead of rebuilt. In Old Bridge, the only lasting fix is new step flashing woven into the courses plus counter flashing cut into the mortar joints. Caulk is a bandage on a structural detail.
Do you repoint the chimney mortar in Old Bridge too?
We seal the counter flashing into sound mortar joints. If your mortar is crumbling, we will flag it — masonry repointing is a separate trade, but the flashing detail we install works with sound joints.
How do I know the chimney is really the leak source in Old Bridge?
We prove it: attic tracing plus a controlled water test on the chimney detail before we recommend the repair.
