High Point, King County
Flashing repair in High Point is priced between $375 and $1,500. A reseal of sound metal is the modest end; cutting in new counterflashing or replacing the whole assembly around a wide chase is the costly end. Flashing is the folded metal that bridges the gap between roofing and whatever rises through it. On this hill that may be a brick stack or, on a recent home, a framed chase wrapped in siding. Either one leaks at the same line.

A flashing leak rarely shows where it starts. Water gets behind the metal, follows the roof deck downhill and stains a ceiling some distance from the fireplace. We trace it from the attic side when there is access, then from the roof, and photograph the entry point so the repair addresses the cause and not the stain. If the roofing itself has failed, we say so and leave that portion to a roofer.
Wikipedia's entry on the neighborhood says the redevelopment swept away the old housing, streets and utilities together, and the neighborhood site places the completion of the new buildings between 2003 and 2020. Whatever flashing a home there has is original to that construction unless the roof has since been redone.
Metal of that age is rarely worn out. Sealant is another matter: exposed beads at a chase or stack dry and split within a decade or two of sun and rain. A first leak on a home from the early phases of the rebuild is very often this, and it is a repair at the low end of our range when it is caught before the sheathing rots.
Every chimney flashing repair we do in High Point includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowWet-season storms test this joint hardest. In the city's landslide records, 86 percent of dated slides fell between December and March, a rough measure of when the ground and everything on it is most saturated. Those same months bring the strongest winds in WeatherSpark's Seattle profile, with December the windiest. Rain pushed sideways climbs under step flashing that sheds vertical rain perfectly well, which is why a roof can stay dry all autumn and leak in one January gale.
Attic first where possible, then the roof, with a controlled hose test if the path is unclear.
Good metal whose caulk has aged gets fresh sealant. Pieces that are rusted through, cut too short or overlapped the wrong way come off and new ones go on.
Step pieces are woven with the shingles, counterflashing is fixed to the chimney side and sealed at its top edge.
Water is run over the repair before the ladder comes down, and the pictures go to you.
Leaves and needles collect on the uphill side of anything that interrupts a roof. With more than 100 mature trees retained and thousands planted, by the Seattle Housing Authority's figures, High Point roofs receive a steady supply.
Oregon State University Extension explains the mechanism on shingles: moss and the debris it traps prolong the time roofing stays wet, and can push asphalt shingles upward until water slips underneath. The same wet mat behind a chimney holds water against the back pan and its laps for weeks. Part of every flashing visit is clearing that pocket, and where the chimney is wide we may recommend a cricket to split the flow.

Liner, crown, cap, flashing and masonry examined in order — each finding photographed.
One document, plain numbers, covering only the work your chimney genuinely needs.
The repair is completed, then handed over with before-and-after photos of every item.
Yes. Re-roofing crews sometimes reuse old flashing or rely on sealant at the chimney. A new roof with an old joint leaks at the joint.
Seattle exempts a roof swapped for the same kind of roof, provided nothing structural is touched; flashing repair by itself is small work. If your job grows into something more, SDCI gets the question from us before any date is set.
Tracing a leak is part of a chimney inspection, which costs $99 plus tax. Agree to the flashing quote and the invoice for that job is lowered by the same $99.
