Cost Guide
How much does flashing repair around a chimney cost in Arlington, VA?
By All Purpose Anytime Services LLC
A stain on the ceiling or wall right next to the chimney is what sends most people looking for this price. We found no published price for chimney flashing work in Arlington. The nearest figure is national. Angi's 2026 guide gives an average of $1,000 for chimney flashing repair or replacement, with most homeowners spending $400 to $1,600. On an Arlington house, the price turns on whether the flashing can be reset or has to be rebuilt, and on the state of the brick it ties into.
Angi's national range, and no Arlington one
Angi's chimney flashing cost guide (2026) puts the national average at $1,000, with most jobs between $400 and $1,600. Step flashing comes in at $400 to $600 there, and continuous flashing at $800 to $1,000.
We searched in October 2026 for an Arlington or Northern Virginia figure from a cost publisher and found none, so we don't offer one. Read Angi's range as a national reference for chimney work. It is not an Arlington quote.
Reset, rebuild, or a problem higher up
Flashing that has only pulled loose can sometimes be fastened back down. If the metal has rusted through, or was only ever held on with caulk, it gets replaced. The proper way cuts a groove into the mortar joint and tucks the new counter-flashing into it. That takes longer than a bead of sealant, and it lasts.
A wide chimney needs a cricket on its uphill side so water and leaves don't pile up against the brick, and that means extra framing and metal. A steep slope or a third-storey chimney needs staging and fall protection. The shingles around the chimney come up and go back down, and an older shingle may not match.
Sometimes the flashing isn't where the water comes from. New metal will not stop water coming through loose mortar or a cracked crown higher up the chimney, and if that is what we find, we tell you.
How we price a chimney flashing job
We photograph the chimney from the roof on every side, so you can see whether the metal failed or the masonry did. The written price comes by text within 24 to 48 hours of the visit, with a link to approve it.
We work on shingle and low-slope roofs, so a chimney on a slate roof goes to a slate specialist. If the old flashing was hiding soft decking, you see it with its per-sheet price before the work goes further. A ceiling stained under the chimney can go on the same estimate. Flashing work carries our 60 to 90 day warranty.

For Arlington and Northern Virginia, our October 2026 searches turned up nothing from a cost publisher. The national guides we found don't break out the Washington area.
