Getting a new roof put on

Is a new roof going on your home? That's the ideal moment to redo the chimney flashing too. The base flashing that sits on the roof is tied into the new roofing, and the counter flashing set into the brick has to lap over it properly.

Our pros coordinate with your roofer so the chimney side is ready when they are: mortar joints repaired, counter flashing cut into the brick, and the pieces fitted in the right order. The quote spells out which parts are ours and which are the roofer's. Talk to our flashing specialists before your reroof in Bronson: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Flashing on an unused chimney

Even if the fireplace in your home in Bronson hasn't been lit in years, the flashing around the chimney still keeps rain out of the roof. It wears out whether the chimney is used or not. Our specialists check it along with the rest of the chimney top and price any repair, so an idle chimney doesn't become the source of a leak.

Why each side of the chimney fails differently

The front of a chimney faces down the roof and sheds water onto the shingles below, so it fails mainly where its top edge meets the brick. The two sides sit parallel to the water's path and fail where step pieces are short, missing or pulled loose.

The back faces up the slope and takes the full flow of water from above, so it's where ponding and cricket problems show up. Our specialists inspect each side against its own weak points instead of treating the flashing as one thing. That's how they find the actual gap, rather than sealing everything and hoping the leak stops.

How far the base flashing should reach

To do its job, base flashing has to reach far enough both ways. The Brick Industry Association's detail has it extend at least 4 inches onto the roof and at least 4 inches up the chimney face, with tabs folded around the corners.

Pieces cut short to save metal, or trimmed back during an old roof job, leave too little overlap. Water creeps sideways under the roofing or over the top edge. Our pros measure what's there during the inspection and replace short pieces with ones cut to the full size, so the repair doesn't depend on sealant alone. Full-size pieces also leave room for the roofing to cover the fasteners.

Flashing thickness and the building code

Thin flashing tears, dents and rusts through faster than heavier stock. The Florida Building Code sets minimum thicknesses for the corrosion-resistant metals used as flashing, listed by metal in its roofing chapter.

Our pros use flashing that meets or exceeds those minimums for the metal chosen, bending it on site to fit your chimney instead of forcing a pre-bent piece that almost fits. Heavier stock also holds its shape against wind, which keeps the laps tight. If your current flashing is lighter than it should be, that goes on the quote with the replacement price. The metal's thickness is written next to its type on the quote.
