Flashing on a tile roof

Tile roofs need their own flashing details. The tiles sit high and curved, so flat metal pressed against them leaves gaps that rain finds easily. The Florida Building Code points tile-roof flashing to the tile maker's instructions and the FRSA and TRI tile installation manual.

Our specialists follow those details at the chimney, shaping the flashing to the tile profile and sealing the counter flashing into the brick above it. Tiles near the chimney are lifted and reset carefully, and any cracked ones are noted for your roofer. You'll see the plan and price before work begins. Reserve a tile-roof flashing repair in Archer by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Roof age and chimney flashing

When the roof on a home in Archer is near the end of its life, the flashing around the chimney tends to be too, since they went on together. Patching the flashing on an old roof buys time but may not last long. Our specialists tell you how much life is left in both, and if a reroof is coming, they'll time the flashing work to go with it.

The upslope side takes the most water

Every drop of rain landing on the roof above the chimney runs down to its back face. A narrow chimney can shed that with a back pan, a flashing piece that runs up under the shingles and turns up against the brick, carrying water off to either side.

On a wider chimney, that much water piles up, pushes under the roofing and soaks the brick. Leaves and needles collect there too and hold the water in place. Our specialists check the back pan for rust, splits and debris dams, and tell you if the chimney is wide enough to need a cricket instead.

New roof, new chimney flashing

When a roof is replaced, reusing old chimney flashing is a gamble. The base pieces get bent lifting them out, the old counter flashing may be surface-mounted or rusted, and the new roofing may sit at a different height.

Our pros recommend new flashing with a new roof, timed so the chimney work is ready when the roofer reaches that part. Repointing and reglet cuts happen first, then the base and step pieces go in with the roofing, and the counter flashing goes on last. Getting the order right is half the job. Our specialists can meet your roofer on the roof to agree the sequence before work starts.

Deciding between a reseal and new flashing

Sound flashing with failed sealant can be resealed. That means the metal lies flat, has no holes, laps properly over the base, and is set into the brick or held firmly against it.

If any of those isn't true, new flashing is the lasting fix. Our specialists check each point on each side and tell you which applies, with prices for both where it's close. A reseal is quicker and cheaper; replacement lasts longer and costs more. You'll see why they recommend one over the other, on the quote, before any work begins. Either way, the metal and sealant used are named on the quote.

FAQs

Quick answers about chimney flashing

What metal do you use for flashing?

Your roof and brick decide it. The Brick Industry Association recommends stainless steel for chimneys, and our specialists name the metal on your quote with the reason for choosing it.

Should the flashing be redone with a new roof?

In most cases, yes. Old flashing gets bent coming off and may not fit the new roofing. Our pros time the chimney side of the work with your roofer. Talk to us before your reroof in Archer at (352) 675-6366.
