A Common Hidden Leak Source
Chimney Repair
Crown, flashing, and siding repair where the chimney meets your roof — one of the most common sources of a hidden leak. A free inspection tells you exactly what it needs.
Crown, flashing, and siding repair where the chimney meets your roof — one of the most common sources of a hidden leak. A free inspection tells you exactly what it needs.
Where a chimney meets your roofline is one of the most common places a leak starts — the flashing, crown coating, and siding around it take direct weather exposure year-round. Holmes repairs the roofing-side work at that joint: flashing, crown, and cap repair, plus siding repair on the chimney chase.
A free inspection tells you exactly what your chimney needs before any work happens — no guessing, no add-ons you didn’t ask for. We serve chimney repair across the San Antonio metro from our Selma, TX home base.

Loose, corroded, or missing flashing where the chimney meets the roof deck — resealed and rebuilt so water sheds around the chimney instead of into it.
Cracked or failing crown coating and caps let water track down into the chimney structure. We repair or rebuild depending on the extent of the damage.
Repair and replacement of the exterior siding on a chimney chase, matched to the surrounding roofline.
The exterior surfaces of a chimney — the crown, cap, and siding on the chase — take constant sun and rain exposure year-round, and over time that wear opens the door to a leak even when the flashing underneath is fine. A protective sealant or coating on those exterior surfaces can extend their life, but we only recommend it when the inspection actually shows it’s needed.
Chimney damage rarely stays contained to the chimney itself — a failed crown or flashing joint lets water travel under the surrounding shingles and decking, which is exactly why we check it as part of every full roof inspection.
The metal seal where the chimney meets the roof deck — the single most common chimney leak point.
The top surface and rain cap that keep water from entering the chimney structure directly.
The exterior siding cladding on a framed chimney chase, repaired or replaced to match your roofline.
A chimney is an easy thing to overlook during a home sale, and a hidden flashing or crown leak can mean hidden decking or framing damage that a general home inspection misses. A free, written inspection before you list or before you close gives you (or the buyer) a clear answer instead of a surprise after move-in — and it’s free either way, so there’s no reason not to check.
Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney, a musty smell, or visibly cracked crown coating or flashing are the usual signs. A free inspection is the reliable way to confirm it.
Yes — failed flashing or a cracked crown at the chimney lets water travel under the surrounding shingles and decking, which is why we check the chimney as part of every full roof inspection.
It’s a common thing to check before closing — a hidden chimney leak can mean hidden decking or framing damage. A free inspection gives you a written answer before you’re under contract deadlines.
Repair reseals or patches a crown with limited cracking; a rebuild replaces it entirely when cracking is extensive or water has already gotten underneath. The inspection shows which one your chimney actually needs.
The exterior surfaces around a chimney — crown, cap, and siding — take constant sun and rain exposure and can benefit from a protective sealant once wear starts to show. The inspection shows whether yours is due; we don’t recommend it unless it’s actually needed.
A free inspection first, then whichever of flashing, crown/cap, or siding repair the inspection shows you need — documented in writing before any work starts.
Chimney flashing and crown work is roofing-adjacent, and Holmes handles it with the same GAF Certified standard and 20+ years of Joshua Holmes’s roofing experience as the rest of the roof — not a separate, less-qualified crew.
Every full roof inspection includes a chimney check at no extra cost.
