Reflashing and repairs for chimneys in North Miami Beach
A chimney on a low-slope roof
Some chimneys rise through a flat or nearly flat section of roof. There the roofing membrane is usually turned up the chimney face as the base flashing, and a metal counter flashing covers its top edge. Water moves slowly on such a roof and can stand against the joint.
The membrane is roofing work, so a roofer often has to take part. We assess the counter flashing, the reglet and the masonry above it, and we describe where our scope ends. That boundary is written into the estimate, so the membrane and the metal are not each left to the other trade.
Visible flashing and the parts under roofing
An inspection of flashing covers what is accessible. The exposed metal, the reglet, the laps we can reach and the roofing around the chimney can all be judged directly. The underlayment, the deck and the hidden ends of the step pieces cannot, unless roofing is lifted.
Our findings separate the two. Where a conclusion rests on what we saw, we say so. Where it rests on likely conditions under the roofing, we say that too. The estimate then explains how any surprises found under the roofing would be priced and approved before work continues.
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.
Stainless grade where salt settles
Not all stainless steel resists salt air equally. Industry guidance on stainless for exterior use ties the grade to the exposure. Places where sea salt settles and rain does not rinse it off are harder on the metal than open faces.
Flashing tucked under roofing and behind counter pieces stays sheltered, which can trap salt deposits. We choose the metal with that in mind and name the grade in the estimate. If you have seen rust-colored staining on existing stainless near the chimney, mention it, because it tells us something about the exposure.

Chimney flashing answers for North Miami Beach homes
Is there a discount on chimney flashing work?
Yes. When you give the go-ahead inside 72 hours of your free inspection, 10% comes off the flashing work. The window counts from the inspection at your home, and nobody will press you to decide sooner than you are ready.
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.
Can one side of the flashing be fixed without the others?
Yes, if the other faces are sound. The new pieces have to lap correctly into the old ones at each corner. If the old corners are too worn to join, we explain why the work should extend around them.
