Where flashing repair starts and stops
Checking the flashing from the ground
A pair of binoculars shows a lot from the yard. Look where the chimney meets the roof for lifted metal edges, dark gaps along the top of the counter flashing and rust streaks on the roofing below. Look also for heavy smears of black roof cement.
Stay off the roof, especially if it is tile or wet. Tile can crack underfoot, and a wet slope is a fall risk. Write down which face showed what. Those notes help us know where to look first during the free inspection.
Planning roof access for flashing work
Reaching a chimney safely in West Perrine depends on roof pitch, height, surface and what sits below. A steep tile roof on a second story needs a different setup from a low shingle roof. Access affects how long the job takes and what equipment comes on the visit.
Tell us when you book about the height of the roof and anything under the chimney, such as a pool deck, planters or a skylight. If ladders have to stand in a particular spot, let us know about gates, pets and parked cars. We plan access before the day of the work, not on arrival.
Scheduling flashing work around rain
Flashing work opens the roof at the chimney, so the weather on the day matters. Sealants also have conditions for application and curing, set by their makers. A forecast of heavy rain may move the date.
We tell you as early as we can if the weather changes the plan. If rain arrives during the job, the open area is covered before work stops. We would rather reschedule than leave an opening exposed or apply sealant to wet surfaces against the product instructions.
Why roof cement is not the joint
Black roof cement is a roofing material. It is meant for setting and patching roofing, and it often ends up spread over chimney flashing as a quick fix. It can hide a failed lap for a while, but it does not make a lapped, sealed junction.
Where we find thick roof cement at the chimney, we explain what it seems to be covering. If the metal underneath is sound, the cement may be cleaned back and the joint sealed properly. If not, the estimate describes the replacement pieces, and the cement comes off with the old metal.

What people ask about chimney flashing
Is there a charge for the flashing inspection in West Perrine?
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.
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.
Can one side of the flashing be fixed without the others?
Yes, if the other faces are sound. The new pieces have to lap correctly into the old ones at each corner. If the old corners are too worn to join, we explain why the work should extend around them.
