Flashing on a metal roof

Metal roofs move more than shingles as they heat and cool, and their ribs make a chimney joint tricky to seal. The roof maker's own details show how their panels meet a chimney, with a formed flashing piece and closures shaped to the ribs.

Those details guide the job: counter flashing fitted into the brick, and joints sealed with a sealant that stays flexible as the metal moves. Where the roof panels themselves need work, your roofer handles that, and the quote says who does what. Ask our specialists about flashing on your metal roof in Lake Butler by dialing (352) 675-6366.

In our service area, Lake Butler is grouped with Union County. According to the 2020 Census, 1,986 people lived in Lake Butler.

Local Conditions

Standard metals inland

Standard corrosion-resistant flashing from the maker's stock is a sound choice in Lake Butler, since salt isn't wearing it away. Stainless still earns its keep by resisting corrosion and staying clear of mortar reactions. Our pros explain the options for your roof and brick and name the metal on the quote, so you know what's going on your chimney. Anything bent is refastened or replaced before the next rain.

How counter flashing covers the base

Base flashing sits on the roof and turns up against the brick. Counter flashing comes down from the brick and laps over the turned-up edge, so water running down the chimney face lands on the outside of the base piece instead of behind it.

In the Brick Industry Association's chimney flashing detail, the counter flashing laps the base by at least 3 inches, with joints and laps sealed. Our specialists check that overlap on every side. A short lap, or counter flashing that stops above the base's top edge, leaves a gap that rain driven by wind will find. Laps are checked by hand where they can be reached.

Repointing before new counter flashing

A mortar joint is what holds counter flashing on. If that mortar is soft, cracked or washing out, the flashing loosens and water gets behind it within a season.

Our specialists repoint that stretch of joints first, with a mortar matched to the brick, and let it set before cutting the reglet and fitting new counter flashing. It adds a step, but it's the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails at the same spot. The repointing has its own price on the quote. It's the step most patch jobs skip, and the reason they fail again at the same spot.

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.

FAQs

Common flashing questions in Lake Butler

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.

Should the flashing be redone with a new roof?

In most cases, yes. Old flashing gets bent coming off and may not fit the new roofing. Our pros time the chimney side of the work with your roofer. Talk to us before your reroof in Lake Butler at (352) 675-6366.
