Clyde Hill, King County
Fixing the flashing around a chimney in Clyde Hill costs $329–$1,495. A reseal of flashing that is still in good shape sits near the bottom of that range; tearing out and replacing step and counter flashing, or adding a cricket behind a wide chimney, sits near the top. We find the leak before we quote, so you are not paying to seal the wrong seam.

Clyde Hill's single-family streets date from suburban building that began in the early 1950s, and a house on the hill has usually been re-roofed at least once since it was built. Every new roof is a moment when the chimney flashing is either done properly or patched around, and a leak that shows up years later often traces back to that day. Because each house here has its own roof and its own history, we never assume the flashing is original.
Every chimney flashing repair we do in Clyde Hill includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowWater stains on a ceiling next to the chimney are the usual reason for the call. The cause is typically one of three: sealant that has dried and pulled away from the brick, counter flashing that was never let into the mortar joints, or a wide chimney with no cricket, where water and debris pile up against its uphill face. Each needs a different fix, and a new bead of caulk solves only the first.
A chimney that moves, even slightly, in an earthquake can tear its flashing away from the roof. After the Nisqually quake of 2001, researchers counted 1,556 damaged chimneys among roughly 60,000 surveyed from Bremerton to Mercer Island, a reminder that shaking moves brick.
After an earthquake, the Chimney Safety Institute of America's guidance is to book a Level 2 inspection. If a new leak appears beside the chimney after the ground has moved, we check the stack itself before sealing the roof around it.
We look from the attic and from the roof, because the stain inside is rarely right under the gap outside.
The quote says which, with the price from our grid. Sound flashing with failed sealant is resealed; bent or rusted metal is replaced.
Step flashing goes under each course of roofing, counter flashing is set into the mortar above it, and a cricket goes in where needed.
We send photos of the finished work and ask you to tell us after the next heavy rain whether the ceiling stays dry.

Storm winds in this part of the state tend to blow out of the southern quarter, and they arrive between late autumn and winter, the same months in which the rainy season peaks. Wind pushes water sideways into the joint between chimney and roof, the one place where two different materials meet.
CSIA names sound flashing as one of four low-cost protections against water damage, and the residential code adds the geometry: on a chimney wider than 30 inches across the slope, a cricket must be flashed and counterflashed to steer water around the stack.
Clyde Hill is a small, affluent residential city on the high ground just north of downtown Bellevue, with large single-family estate homes.

$329–$1,495. A reseal of flashing still in good condition is near $329; a full replacement with new step and counter flashing, or a new cricket, is toward $1,495.
A cricket is a small peaked roof built behind the chimney to split water around it. Once a chimney measures over 30 inches across, side to side along the ridge line, the residential code makes one mandatory.
That is the best moment. If a roofer is coming, we can coordinate so the new flashing goes in with the new roofing instead of being patched around it.
Sometimes both. Water can come through a cracked crown or porous brick and show up in the same place as a flashing leak, which is why we check the whole chimney before we quote.
