From findings to finished flashing work

What the workmanship warranty covers

Our flashing work carries a workmanship warranty. It covers the flashing we installed and the way we installed it, as described in the written record. It does not extend to parts of the roof or chimney that were outside the agreed scope.

That is one reason the scope matters. If the estimate says the crown or the masonry face was left as found, the warranty follows that line. Ask us before you approve how a later leak would be looked at, and we will explain how we separate our work from other sources.

Approve flashing work on the evidence

For a home in Central Beach, flashing work should be approved on what was found at the chimney, not on a general fear of leaks. Each item in our estimate is tied to something we saw or to a condition we could not rule out. The findings say which is which.

If a line seems to rest on guesswork, ask about it. We would rather explain a recommendation twice than have you approve work you do not understand. Items you decline can be noted as advised and left for later, with the reasons written down.

Materials for roofing at the chimney in Broward County

In Broward County the code's high-velocity provisions cover roof assemblies, including the coverings near the chimney. When tile or shingles near the chimney are replaced during flashing work, those replacements fall under the same provisions as the rest of the roof.

We tell you before the work which roofing materials near the chimney may need replacing and how they will be sourced. If the exact product on your roof is not available, we explain the options and who decides whether a substitute is acceptable. That discussion happens before any roofing is lifted.

Stainless grade where salt settles

Not all stainless steel resists salt air equally. Industry guidance on stainless for exterior use ties the grade to the exposure. Places where sea salt settles and rain does not rinse it off are harder on the metal than open faces.

Flashing tucked under roofing and behind counter pieces stays sheltered, which can trap salt deposits. We choose the metal with that in mind and name the grade in the estimate. If you have seen rust-colored staining on existing stainless near the chimney, mention it, because it tells us something about the exposure.

What people ask about chimney flashing

What separates step flashing from counter flashing on a chimney?

Step flashing is the set of base pieces woven into the roofing along the sloped sides. Counter flashing comes down from the brick and covers the top of those pieces. The two overlap rather than join, so each stays with its own surface.

Is there a charge for the flashing inspection in Central Beach?

No. We do not charge for the inspection or for the written estimate it produces. You pay only for flashing work you approve, at the figure in the estimate, with no hidden fees added later.

Does flashing on a stucco chimney work differently?

The counter flashing has to meet cement plaster rather than brick joints. It may be set into a cut in the stucco or finished against a stop. Cracked stucco near the roof line is checked first, and stucco repair is priced separately.
