How our team handles flashing in Sunny Isles Beach
The written record of the flashing work
When the work at your home in Sunny Isles Beach is complete, you receive a written record of what was done. It names the faces worked on, the metal used, the pieces kept and any roofing that was replaced. It also notes anything we saw that was outside the agreed scope.
Keep that record with your roof papers. A roofer working on the house later can see how the chimney junction was built without opening it. If a question about the flashing comes up in future, the record shows what was installed and when the work was done.
Roof shapes that send water toward the chimney
Some roofs channel a lot of water toward the chimney. A valley ending just above the stack can do it. So can a large roof plane draining against its back face.
We look at where water arrives from before choosing the metal and the detail. A junction that handles a light share of runoff may not cope with a heavy one. If the roof shape itself is the issue, we note it and explain what the flashing can and cannot do about it.
A chimney on the outside wall
Some chimneys run up the outside of the house, and the roof meets only the side facing the building. The rest of the stack stands clear of the roof. Flashing is needed only where roof and chimney touch, often along one face and part of two others.
The joint between the chimney and the house wall below the roof also has to be sealed. We look at where the roof flashing ends and where that wall joint begins. If either has opened, the findings say which, because each has its own repair and its own line in the estimate.
Flashing work in Sunny Isles Beach follows the roof in place
Every flashing job in Sunny Isles Beach is sized to the chimney and roof in front of us. Two houses on the same street can need very different work, because the roofing, the metal and past repairs differ. That is why we do not quote from a description alone.
The free inspection gives us what we need to write a specific scope. If you already have a quote from elsewhere, keep it handy. We can explain where our findings agree with it and where they differ, and why.
Included in your chimney flashing scope
- Step flashing on each sloped side
- Old roof cement cleaned back or removed
- Protection for roof, yard and windows
- Flashing where a framed chase meets the roof
Your flashing repair questions
Which metal do you use for new chimney flashing?
We choose it for the chimney and the roof, and brick industry guidance favors stainless steel or copper for chimney work. The code sets a minimum thickness for metal flashing. The estimate names the metal, so you know what goes on before you approve.
What if my roofer says the chimney is causing the leak?
Our check covers the roof junction, the chimney top and the surrounding roofing, and then we explain the findings. If the flashing is sound, we say so plainly. The findings are written so you can share them with the roofer.
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.
