Flashing work sized to the roof and chimney
Metal roofing needs its own detail
A metal roof meets a chimney differently from shingle or tile. Panels and ribs leave no courses to weave step pieces into. The junction usually relies on formed pieces and closures that follow the panel profile, as the roofing maker details them.
We identify the panel type before quoting, because the detail changes with the profile. If the panels need a roofer to cut or refit them, we say who handles which part. Mention the roof installer's name if you know it. Their details for that panel can save guesswork at the chimney.
The joint that holds the counter flashing
Counter flashing is only as secure as the mortar it is set into. If the bed joints near the roof line are soft or open, the edge can loosen over time. Water then runs behind the metal instead of over it.
We look at the mortar above and beside the reglet. If the joints are sound, the flashing work stays within the metal and its seal. If they are not, we list repointing as a separate item. We also explain whether the flashing should wait until that masonry work is done.
Brick damage right at the roof line
The bricks just above the roof line can stay wet longer than the rest of the chimney, because runoff and splash from the roof keep hitting them. Over time their faces may flake or their joints may wash out, right where the counter flashing is set.
We check those courses closely. If the brick is sound, the counter flashing goes back into its joint. If faces are breaking away, the brick work is listed separately, and we explain whether it should happen before the new flashing goes in.
Approve flashing work on the evidence
For a home in Palm Grove, flashing work should be approved on what was found at the chimney, not on a general fear of leaks. Each item in our estimate is tied to something we saw or to a condition we could not rule out. The findings say which is which.
If a line seems to rest on guesswork, ask about it. We would rather explain a recommendation twice than have you approve work you do not understand. Items you decline can be noted as advised and left for later, with the reasons written down.
Flashing details listed before you approve
- Step flashing on each sloped side

- Shingle condition next to the stack
- Interior stain noted for follow-up
Flashing questions before you book in Palm Grove
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.
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.
Can I see what failed on the old flashing?
Yes. Ask before the work starts and we set the old pieces aside so you can see the rusted laps or short corners. The written record of the work also describes what we found when the old metal came out.
