Chimney Counter-Flashing & Cricket Estimator

Frame it as a 'Once-in-a-Lifetime' solution. While copper is 2x the price of steel, its 50+ year lifespan and aesthetic patina add significant property value. For high-end slate or metal roofs, copper is the only material that matches the roof's durability.

Caulking is a temporary fix that often hides underlying flashing failure. Professional companies should never offer 'caulk repairs' without a disclaimer; always recommend a full step-flashing replacement to eliminate the risk of a leak callback.

Any chimney wider than 30 inches needs a cricket. Charge a flat $450–$750 for this custom-bent metalwork. It's a mandatory code requirement that prevents water pooling and ensures your company is performing 'to-code' professional installations.
