Before & After: Chimney Flashing During North Chesterfield Roof Replacement

Katelyn Lewis • May 18, 2023

Do you spot the difference??

A graphic showing the before-and-after images of a roof and chimney flashing replacement project in North Chesterfield VA.

One of our Retex roofing crews installed this new chimney flashing and Tamko Heritage “Virginia Slate” asphalt shingle roof in March 2023. 


While flashing is meant to divert water away from the walls and chimneys of your home, it is often overlooked and its replacement sometimes skipped during a roof installation, making it one of the most common causes of roof leaks we find when assessing a roof for a repair. To avoid that headache, we replace all chimney and step flashing when installing a new roof. 


Need an assessment for your roof? Noticed water spots on the ceiling near your chimney? Give Retex a call for a no-pressure, no-cost estimate today: 804-258-6300.
