Where flashing repair starts and stops
Protecting the roof around the work area
Flashing work means walking and kneeling on the roof near the chimney. Tiles and shingles away from the work area can be damaged if nobody plans for it. We set out where we will walk, where materials will rest and how the edges of the opened area are protected.
Debris from the old metal, sealant and any broken roofing is collected as we go. When the job is done, it is cleaned up and hauled away. If you notice anything on the roof or in the yard afterward that was not there before, tell us and we will come back to look.
Flashing checks during maintenance visits
Maintenance visits in Country Club are a chance to look at the flashing before it leaks. The sealant along the reglet, the ends of laps and any exposed fasteners can be checked while we are already at the chimney for other work.
A small gap found early can often be resealed as a minor item. The same gap left alone can let water into the deck for a season before a stain appears inside. When we note something during a maintenance visit, we tell you what we saw and whether it needs attention now or can wait.
Watching the junction after the repair
After new flashing goes in, the best test is the next heavy rain. Check the attic and the ceiling near the chimney during and after that rain, if you can do so safely. Dry framing and no new marks are what you want to see.
Existing stains may take a while to fade or may need repainting, so judge by whether the mark grows. If water appears again, tell us promptly. A hose water test may help at that point when the job calls for it, and we explain what the workmanship warranty covers before any further work.
The joint between chimney and siding
Where an outside chimney meets the siding or stucco of the house, there is a vertical joint that should be closed with flashing, sealant or both. That joint often gets forgotten because it is not on the roof.
If it opens, water can run behind the wall covering and show up inside near the fireplace. We check it along with the roof flashing and describe what we find. Resealing it is a small item, while repairs to the wall covering itself are a separate trade.

Before you approve flashing work in Country Club
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.
Will the new sealant line match my mortar color?
It may not match exactly at first. We can discuss a sealant color closer to the mortar, and new mortar at a recut joint may tone down as it weathers. Water tightness comes first, but tell us if appearance matters.
Can one side of the flashing be fixed without the others?
Yes, if the other faces are sound. The new pieces have to lap correctly into the old ones at each corner. If the old corners are too worn to join, we explain why the work should extend around them.
