Resealing flashing that's still sound

Not every flashing problem needs new metal. If the pieces are sound, lie flat and are properly set into the brick, a failed sealant bead may be the whole issue.

Out comes the old sealant, the joint is primed where the product calls for it, and a sealant made for masonry and metal, such as a polysulfide, butyl or silicone type, goes in. Oil-based products don't hold up, and the Brick Industry Association advises against them. It's a smaller job with a smaller price, and you'll know it's the right one before we start. Reserve a flashing reseal at your home in Earleton: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Rain is the real test for flashing in Earleton

With no salt to fight, standard corrosion-resistant metals hold up well as flashing on homes in Earleton. What tests it is rain, especially heavy rain driven sideways, finding the one short lap or open seam. Our pros check every lap and seam on all four sides, since a single gap is enough for a stain to appear inside.

Our Process

Four sides, one careful repair

Attic and all four sides

The attic below is looked at first, then every side of the flashing on the roof.

Mortar first, then metal

Joints are repointed, base and step pieces fitted, and counter flashing set into the brick.
Seal, show and clean up

Joints are sealed, you see the finished work, and every scrap of old flashing leaves with us.

Does your chimney need a cricket?

A cricket diverts water approaching the uphill side of a chimney. Whether one is required, and how it connects to the roof, depends on the chimney and roof configuration. The inspection considers those details alongside the flashing instead of assuming every leak needs the same alteration.

Your chimney is measured against that rule, and the measurements go on your quote. A missing cricket on a wide chimney explains a lot of back-side leaks. Building one takes framing, sheathing, flashing and roofing, and your quote says who does that work.

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.

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

Common flashing questions in Earleton

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.

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.
