The roof junction flashing, face by face
Flashing during a roof replacement
A roof replacement is a convenient time to deal with chimney flashing, because the roofing is already off around the stack. It is also a time when old metal gets reused without a close look. Ask your roofer early how the chimney will be handled.
If the roofer plans to leave the counter flashing in place, we can assess it before the new roofing goes on. Where both trades will work at the chimney, we agree who installs which layer. That keeps the base metal and the counter metal from falling outside both scopes.
Crown flashing is a separate job
Brick industry details also place flashing under the crown at the top of a chimney, to keep water out of the space around the flue. That flashing belongs with the crown, not with the roof junction. It is built or repaired when the crown is.
We mention it because the two are sometimes confused in quotes. Flashing repair here means the roof junction. If the crown needs attention, it appears as a separate item under its own name, with its own reasons, so you can decide on each.
Flashing when the stack above the roof is rebuilt
If the chimney above the roof line has to be rebuilt, the flashing is tied into the new masonry as the work goes up. That is part of the rebuild scope, not a separate flashing job. New reglets are formed in the new joints.
We mention this because a flashing repair on a stack that needs rebuilding would be undone. If the masonry above the roof is loose, cracked through or leaning, we explain the rebuild question first. If it is sound, the flashing repair stands on its own.
Roofing rules for flashing work in Miami-Dade County
The Florida Building Code places Miami-Dade County in its high-velocity zone. Residential roofing there is sent to the code's high-velocity provisions instead of the general roofing chapter. Flashing is tied into the roofing at a chimney, so the roofing it touches is covered by those provisions.
Ask what the code requires for the roofing near your chimney before work begins. We explain which parts of the job involve roofing and how they will be restored. If a roofer is better placed to handle that part under those provisions, the estimate says so and shows where our scope ends.
The flashing scope, item by item
- Lap direction on joined pieces
- Shingle condition next to the stack
- Underlayment at the chimney face
- Separate pricing for any added item
Questions about flashing repair
Will you need to go into the attic?
It helps if the attic is reachable. Stains, damp framing or wet insulation beside the chimney tell us a lot about where water gets in. Please clear a path to the hatch. If there is no access, we work from the roof and the rooms below.
Does a new roof come with new chimney flashing?
Not necessarily. Some roofers replace the base pieces and leave the counter flashing, and some reuse old metal. Ask your roofer what is planned for the chimney. We can assess the counter flashing before the new roofing goes on.
Is there a charge for the flashing inspection in Spring Garden?
No. We do not charge for the inspection or for the written estimate it produces. You pay only for flashing work you approve, at the figure in the estimate, with no hidden fees added later.
