Where roofing ends and our work begins

Chimney flashing sits right where two trades meet. Our pros handle the chimney side: the counter flashing set into the brick, the mortar it's set into, and the step, apron and back pieces when the roofing around them is sound.

When the shingles, tiles or roof boards around the chimney have failed, that part goes to a roofer, and the quote will say so, and we'll work alongside them. A new cricket is handled the same way, with your quote saying who builds it. That way nothing falls between two contractors and gets missed. Speak with our specialists about who does what on your flashing repair in Brooker by calling (352) 675-6366.

Brooker recorded a population of 322 in the 2020 Census. Brooker is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions

Storm wind and lifted flashing

A strong storm passing over Brooker can catch a loose flashing edge and bend it up, even well away from the coast. The leak it opens may not show inside until the next heavy rain.

Our specialists then make sure every piece of flashing still lies flat and is fastened, and they refit anything the wind has moved.

Sealants that belong on a chimney

Sealant closes the joint where counter flashing meets the brick, and the wrong product fails fast. The Brick Industry Association advises polysulfide, butyl or silicone sealants with proper priming and backing, and advises against oil-based ones.

Our specialists pick a sealant rated for both metal and masonry, clean and dry the joint before applying it, and tool it so it sheds water. Sealant is a maintenance item, so they'll tell you what to look for on the bead in the years ahead, such as cracking or pulling away at the edges. Good sealant on well-set flashing is a small part of the job that makes a big difference.

Why roofing cement patches keep failing

Roofing cement, the thick black tar that comes in buckets, gets smeared on a lot of leaking chimneys. It stops water for a while, then dries, cracks and pulls away from the brick in the sun.

Worse, it hides the flashing underneath, so a rusted piece or a missing step keeps failing behind a patch that looks fine from the ground. Our pros remove old patching to see the metal, then fix the actual problem. If the metal is sound, a proper sealant replaces the tar. If it isn't, new flashing goes in. Either way, the patching stops being an annual chore.

When the old flashing has rusted through

Over the years, galvanized flashing loses its zinc coating, and rust starts where water sits longest: along bends, at the base of the brick and around nail holes. Once there's a hole, water runs straight through, and no sealant fixes that.

New corrosion-resistant pieces take their place, fitted the full size and set properly into the brick. If only one side has rusted, that side gets priced on its own. If rust has run down from a rusting cap or chase top above, that source is noted too, since it'll keep staining the new work if left. The old pieces leave with us.

FAQs

Reseal or replace? Common questions

What about the shingles next to the chimney?

Our pros handle the chimney side of the flashing. Shingles, tiles or roof boards that have failed go to a roofer, and we'll coordinate with them and say who does what on the quote.

Can you work on tile or metal roofs?

Yes. Tile roofs follow the tile maker's details and the FRSA and TRI manual, and metal roofs follow the panel maker's chimney details. Our pros work to those, and panel or tile replacement goes to a roofer.
