How our team handles flashing in Durrs
Where the code expects flashing
The Florida Building Code asks for flashing wherever roofing is interrupted or ends. It names wall and roof intersections and roof openings, and a chimney is both at once. The purpose written into the code is plain: keep water out of the wall and roof at those joints.
Where the flashing is metal, the code calls for corrosion-resistant metal no thinner than its table allows. We use metal that meets that table. Tell us if a past repair used a thin or unknown sheet, and we will check how it has held up before deciding whether it stays.
A family team at your roof line
We are a family-owned, locally owned company, and the people who assess your flashing in Durrs 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.
When the water shows up matters
Water that appears inside while it is still raining usually has a short path from the outside. A gap in the flashing is one such path. Water that shows up hours later, after long rain, may have soaked through masonry first.
Keep a note of when you see the water, how heavy the rain was and how long it lasted. That record helps us decide whether the flashing is the likely route or whether the chimney wall above the roof deserves more attention. Share it when you book the free inspection.
Other roof openings next to the chimney
Plumbing vents, skylights and other openings are sometimes close to the chimney. Each has its own flashing, and a leak from one can show up beside the chimney breast inside. The stain alone may not tell you which opening is to blame.
We look at openings close to the chimney during the inspection and note any that look suspect. Their repair is usually roofing work outside our scope. Mentioning them helps you avoid paying for chimney flashing when the water was coming from somewhere else.

Flashing repair questions, answered plainly
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.
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.
What happens if you find soft roof deck under the flashing?
We stop and show you before doing anything more. Replacing the soft section is a separate item, and we explain whether our team or a roofer should handle it. Nothing extra goes ahead until you approve it.
