How our team handles flashing in Victoria Park
An apron laid over the downhill roofing
The face of the chimney that looks down the slope gets an apron. It is a single bent piece that lies over the roofing and turns up the brick. From the yard it is the easiest part to see, and it often looks fine. Water rarely tests it as hard as the sides and the back.
We still check how the apron ends at each corner and how the side pieces lap onto it. A gap at a corner can feed water under the roofing below. Ask us to show you where the corner tabs sit, because a corner that stops short leaves an opening the roofing cannot close.
Where the code expects flashing
The Florida Building Code asks for flashing wherever roofing is interrupted or ends. It names wall and roof intersections and roof openings, and a chimney is both at once. The purpose written into the code is plain: keep water out of the wall and roof at those joints.
Where the flashing is metal, the code calls for corrosion-resistant metal no thinner than its table allows. We use metal that meets that table. Tell us if a past repair used a thin or unknown sheet, and we will check how it has held up before deciding whether it stays.
When matching tile is hard to find
Clay and concrete tiles come in many profiles and colors, and some are no longer made. If tiles near the chimney break during the work, finding exact matches can take time. Salvaged tiles from elsewhere on the roof are sometimes an option.
We talk about this before starting, not after a tile cracks. The estimate says how many spare tiles, if any, you have and what happens if more are needed. If a close match is the best available, you decide whether it is acceptable before it goes on the roof.
How the counter flashing edge is secured
Brick industry details set the turned edge of counter flashing into a mortar joint and fill the joint solidly around it. Other details hold the edge in a cut reglet and close it with a sealant chosen for the job. Both aim to keep the edge from pulling out and to stop water at the top of the metal.
Which method suits your chimney depends on the mortar, the brick and the space available. We explain the method in the estimate. If the old edge failed because of how it was held, the new method should answer that failure directly.

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.
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.
How is the roof protected overnight if the job runs long?
Any opening at the chimney is covered before we leave each day. The estimate says whether the job is expected to run past one day, and we tell you what state the roof is in between visits.
