Reflashing and repairs for chimneys in Biscayne Park
Flashing during a roof replacement
A roof replacement is a convenient time to deal with chimney flashing, because the roofing is already off around the stack. It is also a time when old metal gets reused without a close look. Ask your roofer early how the chimney will be handled.
If the roofer plans to leave the counter flashing in place, we can assess it before the new roofing goes on. Where both trades will work at the chimney, we agree who installs which layer. That keeps the base metal and the counter metal from falling outside both scopes.
A family team at your roof line
We are a family-owned, locally owned company, and the people who assess your flashing in Biscayne Park are part of our own team. The person who explains the findings can answer questions about the work, because the same team does it.
Tell us how you prefer to hear about findings, on site or afterward, and who else in the household should be there. Upfront pricing and no hidden fees mean the estimate is the conversation, not the start of a negotiation. If something is unclear, ask, and we will go through it again.
Check your roof warranty before work begins
If your roof is fairly new, it may carry a warranty from the roofer or the manufacturer. Some warranties set conditions for work on the roof by others. It is worth reading yours before anyone lifts roofing at the chimney.
Ask your roofer whether flashing work by another company affects coverage, and whether they would rather handle the roofing part themselves. We are happy to work alongside them. The estimate then shows which parts each company is doing, and the roof warranty questions are settled before the job starts.
Roofing laid over older roofing
Some roofs are replaced by laying new roofing over the old layer. At the chimney, that raises the roof surface, and the upturn of the base flashing may end up shorter than intended. The counter flashing may then cover less of it.
If you know the roof has more than one layer, tell us. We check how much upturn remains above the new surface and how far the counter flashing reaches over it. Where the overlap is too short to shed water, the estimate explains how new pieces would restore it.

Before you approve flashing work in Biscayne Park
How do you know the flashing is the source of the water?
We compare where the water appears with what we see at the junction, in the attic and at the top of the chimney. When the evidence is unclear, a hose water test may help if the job calls for it. The findings say what points where.
Is there a discount on chimney flashing work?
Yes. When you give the go-ahead inside 72 hours of your free inspection, 10% comes off the flashing work. The window counts from the inspection at your home, and nobody will press you to decide sooner than you are ready.
Can I see what failed on the old flashing?
Yes. Ask before the work starts and we set the old pieces aside so you can see the rusted laps or short corners. The written record of the work also describes what we found when the old metal came out.
