Chimney flashing repair in Lauderdale Lakes, explained
Flashing against a stucco finish
Where a chimney is finished in stucco, the counter flashing has to meet cement plaster instead of open brick joints. A reglet can be cut into the stucco, or the metal may be set with a stop that the plaster finishes against. Each approach needs the finish around it to be sound.
Cracked or hollow stucco near the roof line can let water in above the metal. We check the finish close to the junction and say whether stucco repair should come first. Stucco work beyond the flashing line is its own item, priced and approved separately.
A family team at your roof line
We are a family-owned, locally owned company, and the people who assess your flashing in Lauderdale Lakes 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.
Findings explained before a decision
After the inspection in Lauderdale Lakes 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.
Why we do not publish flashing sizes
You may find flashing dimensions quoted online as if one size suited every chimney. In practice the code table, the roofing maker's details and the chimney itself decide. A tile roof, a shingle roof and a metal roof each call for something different.
We work from those documents for the roof and chimney in front of us. Where a detail matters for your job, we explain it during the inspection. The estimate describes the pieces in words, and the written record of the work notes what was installed.

Flashing questions before you book in Lauderdale Lakes
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.
Which metal do you use for new chimney flashing?
We choose it for the chimney and the roof, and brick industry guidance favors stainless steel or copper for chimney work. The code sets a minimum thickness for metal flashing. The estimate names the metal, so you know what goes on before you approve.
Do you lift and replace the tiles or shingles around the chimney?
We lift and restore the roofing next to the chimney as part of the flashing work. If pieces break or are too worn to reuse, replacements are listed as a separate item. Wider roofing work is a job for a roofer, and we say where our scope stops.
