Where flashing repair starts and stops
A short-term measure while you plan
Sometimes the permanent repair has to wait, perhaps for a roof replacement or for matching tile to arrive. A temporary measure can reduce water entry in the meantime. It is not a repair, and it should not be priced or described as one.
If we recommend a temporary step, the estimate labels it clearly and lists it separately from the permanent work. It says what the temporary step does and what it does not do. You then know it needs watching, and that the full repair is still to come.
Being home for the inspection
You do not need to climb anything or stand on the roof during the inspection in Naranja. What helps most is showing us the marks inside and answering questions about when they appear. That part takes a short time.
If you cannot be home, someone else who knows the history can stand in, or you can describe it by phone beforehand. We still check the attic and the interior marks where we can reach them. The findings and the estimate are then explained to you directly, in person or by phone.
Protecting the inside during a water check
Most flashing work happens outdoors, but a hose water test or a look at the attic brings us inside. We lay down protection where we walk and around the area where water may appear during a test. Furniture near the chimney breast may need moving.
Tell us about floors or finishes in your home in Naranja that need special care. If a test is planned, we explain beforehand where water might show and how it will be caught. Any wet area inside is dried and cleaned before we leave.
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.
What the flashing estimate covers in Naranja

Common questions on reflashing a chimney
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.
Do you seal chimney flashing with roof cement?
Not as the main seal. Roof cement is a roofing patch material, and a flashing joint should rely on lapped metal with sealant at the reglet and hidden laps. Where old cement hides the metal, we clean it back to see what is underneath.
Does the flashing need checking if the fireplace is not used?
Yes. The chimney still passes through the roof, and the flashing keeps water out whatever happens in the firebox. An unused chimney can leak for a long time unnoticed, so a look during a maintenance visit is worthwhile.
