The roof junction flashing, face by face
Where our flashing scope meets the roofer
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The base metal is tied into the roofing, and the counter metal is tied into the masonry. In Boca West, our scope covers the flashing and the roofing we disturb to reach it. Wider roofing work belongs to a roofer.
The estimate says exactly which roofing near the chimney will be lifted and restored. If the roof around the chimney is worn beyond that, we say so rather than patching around it. You can then bring in a roofer for the broader work, and the two scopes meet at a clear line.
The layer under the roofing counts too
Flashing is one of two lines of defense at the roof line. Under the shingles or tile there is an underlayment, and at a chimney it should turn up the brick behind the base metal. If that layer was cut short or torn, water that gets past the metal meets bare deck.
We can only judge the underlayment where the roofing is lifted. The estimate says whether we expect to see it and what happens if it is damaged. Repairing it close to the chimney is usually part of the flashing work, while wider underlayment problems are a roofing matter.
Leaves and grit held against the metal
Debris that collects on the uphill side of a chimney holds water against the metal long after the rain stops. It can also dam water so that it backs up under the roofing. Over time the trapped moisture speeds up rust at the laps.
If you can see a buildup behind the chimney from the ground, mention it when you book. Clearing it is a simple step during the visit, and it lets us see the metal underneath. Keep off the roof yourself, though. Reaching behind a chimney from a ladder is not a safe task for a homeowner.
Protecting the inside during a water check
Most flashing work happens outdoors, but a hose water test or a look at the attic brings us inside. We lay down protection where we walk and around the area where water may appear during a test. Furniture near the chimney breast may need moving.
Tell us about floors or finishes in your home in Boca West that need special care. If a test is planned, we explain beforehand where water might show and how it will be caught. Any wet area inside is dried and cleaned before we leave.

Chimney flashing answers for Boca West homes
What does the flashing workmanship warranty cover?
It covers the flashing we installed and the way we installed it, as described in the written record. Parts of the roof or chimney outside the agreed scope are not included, which is why the scope is written out face by face.
Does a new roof come with new chimney flashing?
Not necessarily. Some roofers replace the base pieces and leave the counter flashing, and some reuse old metal. Ask your roofer what is planned for the chimney. We can assess the counter flashing before the new roofing goes on.
What should I mention when I book a flashing check?
Where the water appears, whether it shows during rain or later, the roof covering and any earlier repairs at the chimney. If you have papers from past roof or chimney work, keep them handy. Rough answers are fine.
