Reflashing and repairs for chimneys in Bermuda Riviera
Repairing a single face
Water often gets in at one face of a chimney rather than all four. When the evidence points at one side and the other faces are sound, the repair can be limited to that side. The new pieces then have to lap correctly into the old ones at each corner.
We explain how the new metal will tie into what stays. If the old corners are too worn to join, we say so and suggest extending the work around the corner. A partial repair should still leave a complete, lapped junction, not a new face bolted onto an old one.
New mortar at the reglet
When a reglet is recut or refilled, new mortar or sealant shows along the joint. It may not match the old mortar at first, and some mismatch can remain as it weathers. On a chimney seen from the street, that line may be noticeable for a while.
Tell us if appearance matters to you. We can explain the choices for the joint, including a sealant color that sits closer to the mortar. Water tightness comes first, but we would rather talk about the look before the work than surprise you with a bright line afterward.
When the gap keeps widening
Flashing can bridge a gap between a chimney and a roof, but it cannot hold a chimney that is still moving. If the gap at the roof line keeps growing, or the chimney has started to lean, the cause is structural rather than a flashing failure.
Tell us if you have noticed the gap change over time at your home in Bermuda Riviera. We look for cracks in the stack and signs of movement below the roof. If movement is the issue, we say so before quoting flashing, because new metal would tear again as the chimney shifts.
Roofing rules for flashing work in Broward County
The Florida Building Code places Broward County in its high-velocity zone. Residential roofing there is sent to the code's high-velocity provisions instead of the general roofing chapter. Flashing is tied into the roofing at a chimney, so the roofing it touches is covered by those provisions.
Ask what the code requires for the roofing near your chimney before work begins. We explain which parts of the job involve roofing and how they will be restored. If a roofer is better placed to handle that part under those provisions, the estimate says so and shows where our scope ends.
Parts of the flashing job we write down
- Lap direction on joined pieces
- Mortar above and beside the reglet
- Access plan for roof height and pitch
- Separate pricing for any added item
Chimney flashing answers for Bermuda Riviera homes
Is resealing enough, or does the flashing need replacing?
That depends on the metal. If the pieces are sound and lapped correctly, and only the sealant has failed, a reseal can be the right repair. Rusted, short or wrongly lapped metal needs replacing, and we explain which applies after the inspection.
Do you lift and replace the tiles or shingles around the chimney?
We lift and restore the roofing next to the chimney as part of the flashing work. If pieces break or are too worn to reuse, replacements are listed as a separate item. Wider roofing work is a job for a roofer, and we say where our scope stops.
Do you seal chimney flashing with roof cement?
Not as the main seal. Roof cement is a roofing patch material, and a flashing joint should rely on lapped metal with sealant at the reglet and hidden laps. Where old cement hides the metal, we clean it back to see what is underneath.
