Medina, King County
Chimney flashing repair in Medina costs $329–$1,495. Resealing flashing that has lifted at one edge sits near the bottom of that range; replacing step and counter flashing all the way around the chimney sits near the top. Either way, we confirm the leak is really the flashing before we touch it.

Every home in Medina is a single-family house, and a large house often means a complicated roof: several slopes, dormers, sometimes tile or slate, a chimney rising through the middle of a ridge. Each place a chimney meets one of those roofs is a joint that has to stay watertight through a long, wet winter, and it is often the joint that fails first.
HistoryLink describes Medina as a place that has long attracted large, substantial homes on spacious lots, and state counts confirm every unit in the city is a single-family house. A larger roof can carry more than one chimney, and each chimney is a separate set of flashing to keep watertight.
When we trace a leak, we check each chimney on the roof rather than stopping at the first one. CSIA's Level 2 procedure takes the same wide view, covering all flues in a chimney and their connected appliances, because problems in one part of a system often show up somewhere else.
Medina lies along Lake Washington, which King County calls the largest of its three major lakes. Water accounts for more than two thirds of the city's total area, per both the city and Wikipedia, so plenty of rooftops here face open lake.
Regional climate records say the fiercest wind here tends to be a southerly or southwesterly one, arriving between late autumn and the end of winter. Rain pushed by those winds hits the upwind face of a chimney and the flashing below it hardest, and that is where we look first for lifted edges and failed sealant.
Every chimney flashing repair we do in Medina includes:
Smoke coming back into the room, or a smell that won't go? Book the inspection first.
Book nowFlashing leaks tend to show up somewhere else: a stain on a bedroom ceiling, damp in the attic, paint bubbling on a wall two rooms away. By the time they appear, water has usually been getting in for a while. On large roofs we also find flashing disturbed by a roof replacement and never properly reset around the chimney.
We look at the attic and ceiling as well as the roof, so we fix the real entry point rather than the nearest suspect.
Resealing and full replacement are priced separately so you can see why we recommend one over the other.
Step flashing is woven into the roofing and counter flashing is set into the brick joints above it.
The finished work is photographed, and we check the attic again after the next heavy rain if you ask.

The residential code adopted in Washington (IRC R1003.20) requires a cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than 30 inches parallel to the ridge, flashed and counterflashed where it meets the roof. Without one, water and debris pile up behind the chimney and work under the flashing.
CSIA lists sound flashing among the handful of inexpensive steps that prevent major water damage, and states that water, not fire, does the most harm to masonry chimneys. Rain comes back each October and builds through the winter, so a small gap has months to do its damage.
Medina is an exclusive lakefront enclave with some of the region's most valuable estates, on Lake Washington, with large waterfront and estate homes.
