Chimney reflashing and flashing repairs in Poinciana Park

What the workmanship warranty covers

Our flashing work carries a workmanship warranty. It covers the flashing we installed and the way we installed it, as described in the written record. It does not extend to parts of the roof or chimney that were outside the agreed scope.

That is one reason the scope matters. If the estimate says the crown or the masonry face was left as found, the warranty follows that line. Ask us before you approve how a later leak would be looked at, and we will explain how we separate our work from other sources.

Reseal, reset or replace

Flashing repairs fall into a few kinds, and the right one depends on what failed. We explain which kind fits your chimney in Poinciana Park and why.

A smaller repair is reasonable when the failure is local. A full reflash needs its own reasons, and we write them down so you can weigh them.

• Resealing a reglet or lap where the metal itself is sound
• Resetting counter flashing that has pulled out of its joint
• Replacing pieces on one face where the metal has failed
• Reflashing every face when the whole junction is worn

Questions worth asking about any flashing quote

A flashing quote can look complete and still leave the important parts vague. These questions help you see what is actually included, whoever wrote it.

Our estimate answers each of these in writing. If another company has quoted the same job, you can set the two side by side and compare the work rather than the headline figure.

• Which faces of the chimney are included
• Is the counter flashing set into a joint or surface-mounted
• What happens to the roofing around the chimney
• What is excluded, and why

Counter flashing that has pulled away

Counter flashing can pull out of its joint when the mortar softens, when a ladder or roof work bends it, or when strong wind lifts its edge. Once the top edge stands away from the brick, rain can run straight behind the metal.

If the piece itself is sound, it may be refitted into a cleaned or recut joint and sealed again. If it has been bent more than once, it may not sit flat and is better replaced. We explain which applies after handling the metal, not from the ground.
