Woodinville, King County
Chimney flashing repair in Woodinville runs $375 to $1,500. Where the metal is sound and only the sealant has let go, we reseal, and the bill stays low. New step and counter pieces on every side, or a cricket built behind a broad stack, bring it up toward the ceiling. Those strips of metal are the joint between masonry and shingles, and they are the usual first suspect when a chimney leaks.

Woodinville's wet season lasts from early October to early May, and the windier months, mid-October to mid-April, overlap almost all of it, according to WeatherSpark. Rain driven sideways against a chimney tests every seam in the flashing, especially on the side of the stack facing the weather.
The Census counts only about five Woodinville homes that rely on wood as their main heat, out of roughly 5,400 occupied homes. For almost everyone else, the fireplace or stove is used on cold evenings, not every day.
Light use does not buy a pass, though. The fire code standard CSIA points homeowners to, NFPA 211, sets a once-a-year check as the minimum for every chimney, fireplace and vent. That yearly look is also when failing flashing is usually spotted, before a stain appears indoors.
Every chimney flashing repair we do in Woodinville includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowMany homes here are from the 1980s and 1990s, and a good number have had at least one new roof since. Flashing is often the part that gets reused, patched with sealant or bent back into place during a reroof. Years later, the sealant has dried and cracked, and water finds the gap between the metal and the chimney face.
Under Washington's residential code, the top of a chimney has to sit 3 feet or more above its roof exit and top every part of the building within 10 feet by at least 2 feet. That height aids the draft and keeps sparks off the nearby roof.
Woodinville Fire & Rescue gives the same ten-foot rule for open flames outdoors: keep them that far from houses, structures and vegetation. When we rebuild flashing, we also note a chimney that sits too short for its roof, because a reroof sometimes changes the heights around it.
We check the flashing, the crown, the cap and the chimney face, so the fix goes where the water actually enters.
Sound metal with failed sealant is resealed; bent, rusted or short flashing is replaced, and the quote says which.
New step flashing is layered in with each course of shingles; a counter flashing, let into a groove in the brick above, then laps over it to shed water.
We photograph every side of the finished work, so you can see what sits under the shingles.

A small peaked ridge built on the uphill side of the chimney to divide the water around it. Washington's residential code requires one behind any stack over 30 inches across whose top side does not reach the ridge.
