The roof and the chimney decide how much heat the house holds. The usual leaks are an open damper, a gap in the attic around the chase, and flashing where the roof meets the brick.
Four places on a chimney-and-roof visit. This is not a whole-house energy audit.
Insulation that stops short of the chase lets the rooms under that roof lose heat. Blown-in insulation is the usual fill.
A damper that will not shut leaves the flue open all day. Heated air goes up. Damper repair is the first check.
The joint where the roof meets the chimney leaks air and water. Flashing repair closes that gap.
A wet deck and tired shingles cook the rooms underneath. Roof repair or a replacement when the field is done.
A sound roof keeps water out of the insulation. A reflective or lighter roof can take less sun, and we talk about that when the roof is being replaced. We do not sell a separate cool-roof coating.
An idle fireplace should be a closed flue. Rain is why people leave the damper cracked. A cap lets it stay shut. An insert is for a firebox you burn in, not a substitute for a damper that does not close.
The attic, the insulation, the flashing, and the damper are one path for heat. Air that leaks at the chase wets the insulation. Wet insulation stops working. A damper left open pulls on that same air.
On a roof visit we look at the attic side. There is no separate ventilation package. If the attic is thin, that is insulation. If the metal at the brick is open, that is flashing.

What the visit actually covers. Damper, cap, crown, flashing, and the attic side of the roof.
Name, phone, ZIP, and whether it is the roof, the chimney, or both.
Damper, cap, crown, flashing, and the attic side. Not a full energy audit.
You hear what is open, and the price, before any work starts.
Same crew for the chimney and the roof. Approved work only.
It can when the old roof is leaking into the insulation or the deck is heat-soaked. A new roof is not an automatic bill cut. If the shingles are sound and the attic is thin, start with insulation. Roof replacement and attic insulation.
Rooms under the roof run hot or cold, insulation by the chimney is damp, or the flashing is open. A roof inspection looks at the shingles and the chimney joint. It is not a whole-house energy audit.
Yes. An open damper is an open flue. Heated air leaves in winter and cooled air leaves in summer. Damper repair is the first check when you feel that draft.
Air moving through the attic can keep the deck cooler and the insulation drier. We do not sell a separate ventilation package. On a roof visit we look at the attic side. Thin insulation is a blown-in insulation job.
Insulation first when the roof is still sound and the attic is thin. A roof first when water is getting in, because wet insulation does not work. We say which one after we see both.
EPA estimates about 15% off heating and cooling, and about 11% off the total energy bill, for air sealing plus insulation across a whole house. ENERGY STAR. A damper, a cap, or flashing repair is a smaller job. We do not promise those percents.
We do not publish a flat fee. This is not a full home energy audit. We look at the damper, the cap, the crown, the flashing, and the attic side of the roof. You hear what is open, and the price, before any work. Call (855) 8-CALL-A1.
EPA estimates for air sealing and adding insulation. Not a quote for a roof or chimney repair. ENERGY STAR — Why Seal and Insulate.
Average heating and cooling cost. Whole-house air sealing and insulation.
Average total energy cost. Same whole-house air sealing and insulation, across the full bill.
