Do roofers repair chimney flashing?

Yes, many professional residential roofing contractors routinely inspect, repair, and replace chimney flashing because metal flashing is an integral waterproofing component of the roof-to-chimney transition zone. Roofers frequently replace rusted step flashing, counter flashing, and valley aprons, sealing them with high-grade polyurethane sealants to stop leaks. However, if the chimney leak originates from specialized masonry issues—such as cracked concrete crowns, deteriorated mortar joints requiring tuckpointing, or damaged flue liners—roofers will typically recommend hiring a certified chimney sweep or professional mason. You can troubleshoot professional support needs easily by identifying the leak source. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when hiring a qualified roofer or mason ensures all vulnerable roof and chimney junctions are completely watertight.
