What goes into a lasting flashing repair
Where our flashing scope meets the roofer
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The base metal is tied into the roofing, and the counter metal is tied into the masonry. In Hillsboro Pines, our scope covers the flashing and the roofing we disturb to reach it. Wider roofing work belongs to a roofer.
The estimate says exactly which roofing near the chimney will be lifted and restored. If the roof around the chimney is worn beyond that, we say so rather than patching around it. You can then bring in a roofer for the broader work, and the two scopes meet at a clear line.
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.
Repairing a single face
Water often gets in at one face of a chimney rather than all four. When the evidence points at one side and the other faces are sound, the repair can be limited to that side. The new pieces then have to lap correctly into the old ones at each corner.
We explain how the new metal will tie into what stays. If the old corners are too worn to join, we say so and suggest extending the work around the corner. A partial repair should still leave a complete, lapped junction, not a new face bolted onto an old one.
Findings explained before a decision
After the inspection in Hillsboro Pines we go through the findings with you in plain words. We point out which parts of the flashing are sound, which have failed and which could not be judged without lifting roofing. Where something is a judgement call, we say so.
Ask as many questions as you need. It helps to know why a face is included, what a reglet is or why one metal was chosen over another. The decision stays with you, and the estimate stays valid while you think it over.

Flashing repair questions, answered plainly
Will you need to go into the attic?
It helps if the attic is reachable. Stains, damp framing or wet insulation beside the chimney tell us a lot about where water gets in. Please clear a path to the hatch. If there is no access, we work from the roof and the rooms below.
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.
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.
