How we repair the flashing at your roof line
Paint over old flashing
Flashing is sometimes painted to match the roof or the chimney. Paint can hide rust, pinholes and thin spots, so a painted junction may look better than it is. Flaking paint along the laps is often the first sign that the metal underneath is going.
We check painted flashing by hand, especially at folds and along the roof line. If the metal is sound, the paint can stay as it is. If it is failing, we say whether the new metal can be left bare or should be finished, and what that finish involves.
New mortar at the reglet
When a reglet is recut or refilled, new mortar or sealant shows along the joint. It may not match the old mortar at first, and some mismatch can remain as it weathers. On a chimney seen from the street, that line may be noticeable for a while.
Tell us if appearance matters to you. We can explain the choices for the joint, including a sealant color that sits closer to the mortar. Water tightness comes first, but we would rather talk about the look before the work than surprise you with a bright line afterward.
Other roof openings next to the chimney
Plumbing vents, skylights and other openings are sometimes close to the chimney. Each has its own flashing, and a leak from one can show up beside the chimney breast inside. The stain alone may not tell you which opening is to blame.
We look at openings close to the chimney during the inspection and note any that look suspect. Their repair is usually roofing work outside our scope. Mentioning them helps you avoid paying for chimney flashing when the water was coming from somewhere else.
Why we do not publish flashing sizes
You may find flashing dimensions quoted online as if one size suited every chimney. In practice the code table, the roofing maker's details and the chimney itself decide. A tile roof, a shingle roof and a metal roof each call for something different.
We work from those documents for the roof and chimney in front of us. Where a detail matters for your job, we explain it during the inspection. The estimate describes the pieces in words, and the written record of the work notes what was installed.

Chimney flashing answers for Sea Ranch Lakes homes
Can you repair flashing where a metal roof meets the chimney?
Yes, with details that follow the panel profile and the roofing maker's instructions. We identify the panel type first. If cutting or refitting panels is better done by a roofer, the estimate says so and shows where our part of the work ends.
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.
What happens if you find soft roof deck under the flashing?
We stop and show you before doing anything more. Replacing the soft section is a separate item, and we explain whether our team or a roofer should handle it. Nothing extra goes ahead until you approve it.
