Protecting the Most Vulnerable Part of Your Roof

Your Chimney Is Only as Good as the Roof Around It

Your chimney is more than just a charming feature; it’s one of the most common sources of roof leaks on any mountain home. Improperly sealed or damaged chimney flashing can allow water to penetrate your roof system, leading to rot, mold, and costly interior damage. Home Grown Roofing & Contracting provides expert chimney repair services to ensure this critical area is secure and watertight for homeowners from Conifer to Breckenridge.

Complete Care for Your Chimney & Roof Integration

As roofing experts, we understand exactly how your chimney must integrate with your roof to shed water and snow effectively. We don’t just patch problems with temporary sealants; we provide complete, long-term solutions that address the root cause of the failure.

Chimney Flashing Repair & Replacement

Flashing is the metal material that creates a waterproof barrier between your vertical chimney and your sloped roof. We are experts at installing and repairing multi-step flashing systems that are woven into the shingle courses to mechanically divert water. If your flashing is rusted, loose, or sealed with tar or caulk (a common sign of a previous improper repair), it’s a leak waiting to happen. We can replace it with a new, custom-fabricated flashing system built to last.

Chimney Crown Repair & Sealing

The chimney crown is the cement surface at the very top of your chimney that prevents water from entering the masonry itself. Cracks in the crown can absorb water, which then freezes and expands in our cold mountain winters, causing significant damage. We can repair minor cracks with high-quality sealants or, if necessary, rebuild the crown to ensure it is properly sealed and angled to shed water effectively.

Chimney Cap Installation

A chimney cap is a vital component that covers the top of the flue opening. It serves multiple purposes: it keeps rain and snow out, prevents birds and other animals from nesting inside, and can act as a spark arrestor to reduce fire risk. We can install a high-quality, durable chimney cap that is properly sized for your flue.

A Roofer's Perspective on Chimney Leaks

While a mason is an expert on brick and mortar, a roofer is an expert on water shedding and system integration. The most common point of failure is not the chimney structure itself, but how it is (or isn’t) integrated with the roofing system. Our deep understanding of roofing dynamics, underlayments, and water diversion allows us to diagnose and solve chimney leak issues at their source, ensuring a permanent and reliable repair that a general handyman or mason might miss.
