What goes into a flashing job in Bay Ridge
What our pros check and why, on flashing jobs across Bay Ridge.
The corners where many leaks begin
Every chimney corner is a place where two flashing faces meet and the metal has to fold. BIA Technical Note 19B describes base flashing installed first on the faces perpendicular to the ridge, with tabs at each corner that wrap onto the neighboring faces.
Corners without those tabs, or with a tab torn at the fold, leave a small open seam right where water gathers. We check all four corners closely, since a pinhole there can explain a stain that appears only during a long rain. Corner work is listed on its own in the estimate so you can see what it involves.
The code's paths for base and counter flashing
Florida's residential code gives, in Section R905.2.8.1, more than one compliant path for base and counter flashing on shingle roofs. It accepts the manufacturer's installation instructions, compliance with RAS 111, or a prescribed continuous metal L flashing at least 4 inches by 4 inches with set fastening, laps and flashing cement.
We tell you which path your repair follows. Naming it in the estimate keeps the job specific instead of a loose promise to reseal, and it gives a buyer's inspector or a future roofer something concrete to check against.
Lifting tile around a chimney without collateral damage
Old clay and concrete tiles can crack when they are stepped on or pried loose. Reaching chimney flashing on a tile roof means removing tiles around the base, stacking them where they will not slide and resetting them once the new metal is in.
We walk tile roofs only where the load can be spread, and we plan the route before anyone climbs. Your estimate lists how many tiles we expect to lift and how breakage is handled, including whether matching replacements can be found. That keeps a flashing repair from turning into a patchwork of mismatched tile.
Patch metal slipped over old flashing
A common quick fix is a new piece of metal slipped over or under the old flashing and sealed at the edges. It can stop a drip for a while, but it adds another set of seams and hides what is happening underneath.
We remove patch pieces during a full repair to see the original metal and the roof beneath. If a patch has actually been working, we tell you, and we can discuss whether a smaller repair makes sense.

Chimney flashing questions from Bay Ridge
Short answers from our chimney team in Bay Ridge. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you repair the flashing on just one side?
Sometimes. If the other faces are sound and the new piece can lap correctly into the old, a one-side repair can work. When a full reflash is worth considering, we price both options in writing.
What happens to the stain indoors after the flashing is fixed?
The mark stays until the interior is repaired. Let the area dry through a few rains before repainting, and seal it first so it does not bleed through. Call us if it grows.
