"We just moved into our new house a week ago.  A couple of nights in we had our first rain and dinner was interrupted by my most hated DRIP, DRIP, DRIP noise.  I saw water dripping down from behind the chimney mantle.  I called High Tops on Wednesday morning and Dan called me back around lunch time to discuss what I needed done.  I explained the water leak and he said he could be out Friday (Thursday was Thanksgiving) to take a look.  He arrived a little behind schedule but called to let me know.  He went up on the roof and quickly identified that the water was coming from a hole in the chimney flashing most likely caused by a shovel or pitchfork (clearing ice?).  He gave me my options with no sales pressure--either caulk/seal the hole for ~$200 or replace the flashing for ~$400.  I chose the flashing replacement option and he said he might be able to get to it today.  I said that would be awesome and he made it happen.  He ran out to get materials and was back within 30 minutes.

To fix the leak, Dan took up the shingles in the area, replaced the flashing (taking care to nail far away from where water would accumulate), sealed using a high grade sealant and replaced the shingles.  I asked to go up on the roof so he could show me what he did and he gladly welcomed me to do so.  He explained in detail what he had done and made some observations about the existing flashing being thin which probably led to the puncture.  He then took the time to give me a tour of my roof which was not at all something he had to do but was just one of many ways he exceeded my expectations.  He pointed out some plumbing vent seals that were dry rotting and offered that he would go back to the truck and get some more sealant to seal them for me.  Dan then spent about 15 more minutes going around sealing my vents.  This was not something that was included in his quote but he didn't charge me to do it.  It was a very smart move though because that one tube of sealant and his 15 minutes of time far exceeded my expectations and made me a customer for life.   If someone mentions roofing, you can bet I will be recommending High Tops and Dan."
