Crumbling mortar behind the flashing
Behind every piece of counter flashing is a mortar joint, and the flashing is only as good as that joint. If the mortar around it is crumbling, the flashing works loose, and water runs down behind it no matter how good the metal is.
Mortar along the flashing line gets repointed before the counter flashing is reset or replaced. Doing them together means one repair instead of two, and the new flashing grips solid mortar. The repointing and the flashing are priced as separate items so you see where the money goes. Ask about mortar and flashing repair in Hampton by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Roof age and chimney flashing
When the roof on a home in Hampton 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.

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.
Sharing the roof with a roofer
Masonry work and roofing work overlap at the flashing. Our specialists handle the chimney side: the counter flashing set into the brick, repointing the joints it sits in, and the flashing pieces themselves when the roofing around them is sound.
When shingles, tiles or roof boards around the chimney are damaged, a roofer replaces them. Our pros will tell you when that's the case, coordinate the order of work, and make sure the quote shows who does each part. Working together on the same day where possible keeps the roof open for the shortest time. You get one quote that shows both halves.
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
Flashing repair in Hampton, explained
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 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.
