Flashing work sized to the roof and chimney
Identify the roof covering before anything else
Flashing repair on homes in Flamingo Park starts with one question: what is the roof made of? Shingle, clay tile, concrete tile, metal panel and low-slope membrane each meet a chimney in a different way. The right metal pieces and the right order of work follow from that answer.
If you know the roof covering and its maker, tell us when you call. If you do not, that is fine, because we identify it during the free inspection. The estimate then names the covering and describes how it will be opened and restored at the chimney.
Dust and noise when a reglet is cut
Cutting or cleaning out a reglet makes dust, and some of it drifts. We plan for it by covering what needs covering below the chimney and keeping cars and outdoor furniture clear. Tell us about anything near the chimney that you want protected.
Close nearby windows while that part of the work is going on, and keep pets indoors. The noise is brief compared with the rest of the job. When the cutting is done, dust and debris are cleaned up and hauled away with the old metal.
A small opening caught early
A counter flashing edge that has just started to pull away is a small repair when caught early. So is a short length of failed sealant. The same opening left for a long time can soften the deck and stain the ceiling.
If you notice something small, it is worth a look while it is still small. We tell you honestly if it can wait until another visit or whether it should be dealt with now. A minor reseal is priced as a minor reseal, not packaged into a larger job.
Mixed metals in sea air
Where two different metals touch in wet, salty air, one of them usually corrodes faster. That includes flashing, fasteners, straps and any old pieces left behind. Near the coast the effect tends to show sooner than it would farther inland.
We match fasteners and joining pieces to the flashing metal and separate unlike metals where they have to meet. If your chimney carries a mix of copper, galvanized and aluminum pieces from past repairs, the findings list them. Mixed metals are one reason a repair can fail early in sea air.

Flashing repair questions, answered plainly
What if my roofer says the chimney is causing the leak?
Our check covers the roof junction, the chimney top and the surrounding roofing, and then we explain the findings. If the flashing is sound, we say so plainly. The findings are written so you can share them with the roofer.
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.
How is the roof protected overnight if the job runs long?
Any opening at the chimney is covered before we leave each day. The estimate says whether the job is expected to run past one day, and we tell you what state the roof is in between visits.
