How our team handles flashing in Coral Shores

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.

Metal moves with sun and shade

Metal flashing heats up in sun and cools in shade and rain, and it grows and shrinks a little each time. Long pieces move more than short ones. A detail that fixes the metal rigidly at both ends can tear its own seal or pull out of its joint.

That is one reason step flashing comes in separate pieces and counter flashing laps over rather than joining the base metal. We lay out the new pieces so they can move without opening a path for water. The estimate describes the pieces and the laps, so you can see how they are arranged.

When water is pouring in now

If water is coming through a ceiling beside the chimney right now, the first steps are inside the house. Move furniture and valuables away, set out containers and keep people clear of any wet ceiling that sags. Turn off power to a wet light fixture at the panel if you can reach it safely.

Our 24/7 emergency line is there for urgent situations like this. We can talk through what to do until the roof can be reached safely. The permanent flashing repair comes after the water is under control, and it is scoped and approved like any other job.

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.

Included in your chimney flashing scope

  • Apron across the downhill face

Asked often about chimney flashing

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.

Should I paint over the ceiling stain now?

Wait until the flashing repair is done and the area has dried. A fresh coat of paint makes it harder to tell whether the stain is still growing. If the mark spreads after the repair, tell us promptly so we can look again.

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.
