Where flashing repair starts and stops
Looking at flashing after a strong storm
After a strong storm, it is worth looking at the chimney from the ground. Wind can lift the edges of counter flashing, loosen pieces at the corners and bend metal that was already weak. Damage may not leak until the next heavy rain.
Look for metal standing away from the brick, pieces hanging loose or roofing disturbed near the chimney. Stay off the roof and away from anything hanging. If you see damage, describe it when you call, and we will look at the flashing and the top during the visit.
Brick damage right at the roof line
The bricks just above the roof line can stay wet longer than the rest of the chimney, because runoff and splash from the roof keep hitting them. Over time their faces may flake or their joints may wash out, right where the counter flashing is set.
We check those courses closely. If the brick is sound, the counter flashing goes back into its joint. If faces are breaking away, the brick work is listed separately, and we explain whether it should happen before the new flashing goes in.
Water that shows up on a lower floor
Water that gets past chimney flashing may not appear right beside the chimney. It can run down inside a wall or along framing and show up on a lower ceiling, around a window or near the floor. The mark may be some distance from where the water entered.
Tell us about every place you have seen water, even if it seems unrelated. We trace likely paths from the roof junction downward. If the evidence suggests the water is entering somewhere other than the chimney, we say so rather than fitting the symptom to the flashing.
Why we do not publish flashing sizes
You may find flashing dimensions quoted online as if one size suited every chimney. In practice the code table, the roofing maker's details and the chimney itself decide. A tile roof, a shingle roof and a metal roof each call for something different.
We work from those documents for the roof and chimney in front of us. Where a detail matters for your job, we explain it during the inspection. The estimate describes the pieces in words, and the written record of the work notes what was installed.

Before you approve flashing work in Wynwood
Should I paint over the ceiling stain now?
Wait until the flashing repair is done and the area has dried. A fresh coat of paint makes it harder to tell whether the stain is still growing. If the mark spreads after the repair, tell us promptly so we can look again.
What does the flashing workmanship warranty cover?
It covers the flashing we installed and the way we installed it, as described in the written record. Parts of the roof or chimney outside the agreed scope are not included, which is why the scope is written out face by face.
Do you seal chimney flashing with roof cement?
Not as the main seal. Roof cement is a roofing patch material, and a flashing joint should rely on lapped metal with sealant at the reglet and hidden laps. Where old cement hides the metal, we clean it back to see what is underneath.
