Where flashing repair starts and stops
Corners decide whether the lap holds
Corners are where flat metal has to change direction, and where cuts and folds leave the most seams. Good practice uses tabs at each corner or preformed pieces, with every bend sealed on its hidden side. A corner that was cut and pushed into place can open as the metal heats and cools.
When we lift the roofing at a corner, we look at how the pieces were joined and whether sealant alone was closing the gap. The findings describe each corner in plain words. That helps you compare our scope with any other proposal you receive.
When existing flashing can stay
Not every flashing job means new metal on every face. Base pieces that lie flat, lap correctly and show no rust holes can sometimes stay in place. A counter flashing that has only pulled out of its joint may be reset and resealed.
We explain which pieces we would keep and what we saw that supports keeping them. Where a piece is kept, the written record of the work says so. If reuse is doubtful, you get the choice between a smaller scope now and a fuller one, with the difference spelled out.
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.
Flashing on a worn roof due for replacement
If the roof around the chimney is worn and due for replacement soon, new flashing now may be disturbed again when the roof comes off. In that situation it can make sense to plan the two together. The choice depends on how active the leak is.
We explain both paths. One is a limited repair to stop water now, with full reflashing when the roof is replaced. The other is doing the flashing properly now and asking the roofer to work around it. The estimate shows what each path covers, and you choose.

What people ask about chimney flashing
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.
Do you need to cut into the brick to fix the flashing?
Sometimes. Counter flashing is usually set into a mortar joint, and if the old joint is too worn to hold it, a fresh reglet is cut. The dust is controlled and cleaned up, and any repointing beyond the reglet is a separate item.
Is there a charge for the flashing inspection in Twin Lakes North?
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.
