Somebody already patched it with tar

Seeing thick black roofing cement smeared along the flashing? It's a quick fix, and it doesn't hold for long. Tar hardens, cracks and pulls away from the brick in the sun, and it hides the real problem underneath, whether that's a rusted piece or counter flashing that wasn't tucked into the mortar.

Our specialists peel back the patching to see what's there, then either reseal sound metal properly or replace what's failed. The quote spells out which, with the reasons. Once it's done right, there's no need for another bucket of cement every spring. Reserve a proper flashing repair in Andrews by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Leaves piling behind the chimney

Branches over a roof in Andrews drop leaves and needles against the back of the chimney, where water already flows hardest. The pile holds water against the flashing and the brick long after the rain stops. Our pros clear it, check the back pan or cricket underneath for rust, and tell you if a cricket would keep the debris from building up again.

Flashing where metal roofing meets brick

Metal roof panels expand and contract more than shingles, and their raised ribs make a chimney joint harder to seal. Roof makers publish their own chimney details, with formed flashing and closure strips shaped to the ribs.

Working from the maker's details for your panel type, our pros set the counter flashing into the brick and use sealant that stays flexible as the metal moves. They also check that the metals used won't react with each other or with the roof's coating. Work on the panels themselves stays with a roofer, and the quote spells that out. Formed pieces come from the roofing maker's own line where they're available.

Following the shingle maker's instructions

On asphalt shingle roofs, the Florida Building Code has chimney flashing applied according to the shingle maker's instructions. Those instructions cover how the base pieces lie under and over the shingle courses and where fasteners may go.

Working to them lets the flashing and the roofing act as one system. It also protects your roof's own warranty, which may depend on the flashing being installed the maker's way. If your shingles are an unusual type, our pros check the maker's details before starting, rather than guessing on the roof. Our pros read those details before cutting any metal, so the pieces lie right the first time.

Where flashing fasteners should go

A nail through flat flashing on the roof is a hole waiting to leak. Properly installed flashing is fastened where the roofing covers the fastener, or held in the mortar joint above, so no nail sits exposed in the path of the water.

Exposed nails, and dabs of sealant over them, are early leak points, so our pros hunt for them. On repairs, fasteners go where the shingle or tile will cover them, and the counter flashing is held by the reglet and its sealant. It's a small detail that makes flashing last as long as the roof around it.

FAQs

Common flashing questions in Andrews

Can the old flashing just be resealed?

If the metal is sound, lies flat and laps properly, yes, and that's the smaller job. Rusted, short or surface-glued pieces need replacing. Our pros tell you which applies to each side, with both prices where it's close.

What happens if the flashing leaks after you fix it?

Our pros come back and put it right, since our workmanship warranty covers the flashing we fit. The quote notes which sides were resealed or replaced, so it's clear what's covered. Book a free flashing inspection in Andrews at (352) 675-6366.
