From temporary cover to permanent storm repair
Chimney and roof repairs in the right order
Storm damage around a chimney often involves both the chimney and the roof covering. The flashing sits between the two, so the order of work matters as much as the work itself.
Roof covering work belongs to your roofer. Our estimate shows the chimney items we cover, including the flashing, and where our work meets theirs. We coordinate the sequence so neither job undoes the other. If the roofer needs the chimney made sound before the roof covering goes back, we plan for that and tell you when each stage can happen.
What you can see from the attic side
If your attic is safe to enter, the area around the chimney can show where water came in. Look for wet wood, stained sheathing or damp insulation next to the chimney or chase.
Do not step off the framing or move insulation around a metal flue. A flashlight view is enough. Tell us what you saw, and we check the same area during the visit. The attic view often shows whether the water came through the flashing or down the chimney itself.
The damper after water came down
If rain entered the flue during the storm, the damper took the water first. Metal plates rust quickly when soaked, and debris on the plate can hold moisture against it.
We check the damper for water, rust and debris and make sure it still opens and closes. Light rust can be cleaned off. A damper that has seized or rusted through is noted as a separate repair. The source of the water is fixed first, so the damper does not rust again.
How long storm repairs take
A refastened cap or a temporary cover can often be done in one visit. Relaying top courses, casting a new crown or fitting a custom chase cover takes longer, and the weather has a say in the schedule.
We give you a realistic timeline with the estimate. Custom parts need to be measured and made. Mortar needs time to cure before a cap is fixed to it. If the work runs past one day, an open top is covered before we leave each day. We tell you when the fireplace can be used again.

Questions about wind-damaged chimneys
Water came in during the storm but stopped afterward. Why?
Water that appears only with wind from one direction may be entering through the side of the chimney, the flashing or the crown rather than the flue opening. Tell us when it appeared, and we trace the path before choosing a repair.
A tree limb hit the chimney. Can you help?
Once the limb has been removed safely, yes. Leave large limbs to a tree service. We then check the masonry, crown, cap and flashing where it struck and list each repair separately.
Can loose pieces of a damaged chimney top fall?
Loose top courses or a shifted cap can fall, especially in the next strong wind. Keep people and vehicles away from the area below the chimney, and do not use the fireplace. Tell us what you see when you call.
