Reflashing and repairs for chimneys in Las Olas Isles
The layer under the roofing counts too
Flashing is one of two lines of defense at the roof line. Under the shingles or tile there is an underlayment, and at a chimney it should turn up the brick behind the base metal. If that layer was cut short or torn, water that gets past the metal meets bare deck.
We can only judge the underlayment where the roofing is lifted. The estimate says whether we expect to see it and what happens if it is damaged. Repairing it close to the chimney is usually part of the flashing work, while wider underlayment problems are a roofing matter.
Counter flashing that has pulled away
Counter flashing can pull out of its joint when the mortar softens, when a ladder or roof work bends it, or when strong wind lifts its edge. Once the top edge stands away from the brick, rain can run straight behind the metal.
If the piece itself is sound, it may be refitted into a cleaned or recut joint and sealed again. If it has been bent more than once, it may not sit flat and is better replaced. We explain which applies after handling the metal, not from the ground.
Seeing the old metal before it goes
Some people like to see the flashing that came off their chimney. Rusted laps, short corners and nail holes explain the leak better than any description. If you would like to see them, ask before the work starts.
We set the old pieces aside at the end of the job so you can look at them. Afterward they are hauled away with the rest of the debris. The written record of the work also describes what was found when the old metal came out.
Asking for a second look
If a quote for your home in Las Olas Isles says the whole chimney needs reflashing and you are unsure, a second look is reasonable. We check the junction on our own terms and tell you what we find, whether or not it agrees with the earlier advice.
Bring any earlier estimate or notes to the visit. We explain where our findings match and where they differ. Sometimes a full reflash is the right answer. Sometimes a smaller repair will do. Either way, you get the reasons in writing.

Questions about flashing repair
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.
How long does chimney flashing repair take in Las Olas Isles?
It depends on the roof covering, the number of faces and whether a reglet has to be recut. A single face on a shingle roof is quicker than a full reflash on tile. The estimate gives the expected duration for your job.
Does flashing on a stucco chimney work differently?
The counter flashing has to meet cement plaster rather than brick joints. It may be set into a cut in the stucco or finished against a stop. Cracked stucco near the roof line is checked first, and stucco repair is priced separately.
