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 High Springs by calling (352) 675-6366.

High Springs is on our Alachua County list of places we serve. When the 2020 Census counted High Springs, it found 6,215 residents.

Local Conditions

Sun on the sealant bead

The sealant where counter flashing meets the brick sits in full sun on chimneys in High Springs. Over the years, sunlight and heat dry it out, and it starts to crack and pull away at the edges. Our specialists check the bead on every visit and replace it with a masonry-rated sealant before it opens enough to let water behind the flashing.

Our Process

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.

What the brick industry says about flashing metals

The Brick Industry Association's guidance on chimney flashing weighs the common metals. It notes that alkalis in fresh mortar attack aluminum, that copper can stain brick and stone, and it recommends stainless steel, such as Type 304. Galvanized steel is not recommended.

Our specialists use that guidance when choosing replacement flashing, balanced against your roofing type and what's already on the chimney. Mixing metals where they touch is avoided, since dissimilar metals corrode each other. The chosen metal is named on the quote, with the reason, so you know what's on your roof. Stainless also keeps its strength where fresh mortar touches it, which matters in the reglet joint.

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.

Sealing a sided chase at the roof

Framed chases around factory-built fireplaces meet the roof with siding where a masonry chimney would have brick. There the step flashing tucks up behind the siding and the water-resistive barrier, and laps over the roofing below.

Siding that runs down tight to the shingles, or a barrier that stops short, lets water get behind the flashing and into the chase framing. Our pros check how the siding, barrier and flashing overlap, and look for rot at the base of the chase. Siding replacement and rotten framing are priced separately, with the trade named. Where the chase framing is sound, the siding goes back on over the new flashing and barrier.
