Chimney and cricket flashing
Brick chimneys and small crickets collect ice and debris. Failed counterflashing here is a classic Dearborn leak path into upstairs ceilings.
Dearborn · Wayne County · 48120, 48124, 48126, 48128
Dearborn’s housing runs from dense older neighborhoods to larger postwar streets — and Michigan winters are hard on all of it. We repair leaks, flashing, vent boots and storm damage at flat published rates. We do not sell roof replacements.
Much of Dearborn’s roof stock is aging asphalt on tight urban lots, with chimneys, dormers and complex valleys that fail long before the field shingles are truly done. That’s exactly where a repair-only crew earns its keep: find the entry point, fix the detail, prove it with photos.
What we find here
Brick chimneys and small crickets collect ice and debris. Failed counterflashing here is a classic Dearborn leak path into upstairs ceilings.
Steep cross-gables send a lot of water into metal or woven valleys. Pinholes and lifted shingles at the valley edge show up as bedroom stains after heavy rain.
Low-slope porch roofs and boxed entries leak at seams and wall junctions. We repair the membrane or shingle transition — we don’t use it as an excuse to condemn the whole house roof.
East and west Dearborn, streets off Michigan Avenue, Schaefer, Telegraph-adjacent neighborhoods, and the borders toward Dearborn Heights and Melvindale.
Most Dearborn leak calls are scheduled within 48 hours. If water is actively entering, ask about emergency tarping the same day.
Routine residential roof repairs are typically outside Dearborn’s replacement-permit path. We’ll tell you honestly if a job crosses into work that needs different paperwork.
Flat price up front, photo report after, written warranty on the invoice — same terms as the rest of Metro Detroit.
