Where flashing repair starts and stops
Rain that arrives from the side
In a storm, rain does not only fall straight down. Wind drives it sideways against the chimney, where it can reach the top edge of the counter flashing and the joints above it. A junction that stays dry in calm rain may leak only in wind.
Tell us whether the water in your home in Mission Bay appears only in wind from a certain quarter. A pattern like that singles out one face of the chimney. We check the upper edge of the metal on that face with care, because a joint that sheds falling rain can still let driven rain through.
A family team at your roof line
We are a family-owned, locally owned company, and the people who assess your flashing in Mission Bay 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.
Flashing checks during maintenance visits
Maintenance visits in Mission Bay are a chance to look at the flashing before it leaks. The sealant along the reglet, the ends of laps and any exposed fasteners can be checked while we are already at the chimney for other work.
A small gap found early can often be resealed as a minor item. The same gap left alone can let water into the deck for a season before a stain appears inside. When we note something during a maintenance visit, we tell you what we saw and whether it needs attention now or can wait.
Scheduling flashing work around rain
Flashing work opens the roof at the chimney, so the weather on the day matters. Sealants also have conditions for application and curing, set by their makers. A forecast of heavy rain may move the date.
We tell you as early as we can if the weather changes the plan. If rain arrives during the job, the open area is covered before work stops. We would rather reschedule than leave an opening exposed or apply sealant to wet surfaces against the product instructions.

Questions about flashing repair
What separates step flashing from counter flashing on a chimney?
Step flashing is the set of base pieces woven into the roofing along the sloped sides. Counter flashing comes down from the brick and covers the top of those pieces. The two overlap rather than join, so each stays with its own surface.
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.
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.
