What goes into a flashing job in Bithlo
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Bithlo, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
What the attic side can reveal
The attic side of a chimney often tells the clearest story. Dark rings on the roof decking beside the chimney, damp framing or tracks down the chimney's outer face point to the junction directly above.
When there is attic access near the chimney, we ask to look there as part of the free inspection. We note which side shows moisture and whether the marks look active or old. That observation decides which flashing faces get the closest look up on the roof.
What finished flashing looks like from the ground
After a proper reflash, counter flashing runs in clean lines along the mortar joints or the chimney face, the apron sits flat across the front and the step pieces disappear beneath the roofing along the sides.
There should be no smeared tar, no exposed nail heads and no loose metal edges. If you look from the yard with binoculars after a repair, those are the details to check. Before we leave, we walk you through what was done so you know what good work looks like on your own roof.
Flashing records for a future buyer
A buyer's home inspector will usually comment on chimney flashing, especially when there is tar, sealant or staining in view. A written record of a proper repair answers those questions before they slow down a sale.
We give you a written summary of the work, the materials used and the faces repaired. Keep it with your house papers so a buyer or their inspector can see what was done and when. A tidy record often matters to a buyer as much as the repair itself.
Flashing cement and where it fits
Flashing cement is a thick roofing compound used to bed and seal flashing laps. It appears in the prescribed L flashing option of Section R905.2.8.1 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, where the laps between pieces are sealed in flashing cement.
Used that way, it supports the metal. Spread across the surface as the only barrier, it dries, cracks and leaves the seam open. We use it inside the detail as the method calls for and never as a substitute for missing metal.

Chimney flashing questions from Bithlo
Short answers from our chimney team in Bithlo. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you fix chimney flashing without replacing my roof?
Usually, yes. We lift only the roofing around the chimney, replace the flashing and restore the shingles or tile we moved. A full roof replacement comes into it only when the roof itself is worn out.
Can the new flashing be painted to match?
Some metals take paint well and some are better left bare, and paint only holds on a clean, prepared surface. We tell you which is which for your flashing. If you choose paint, the product and the color go into your written scope, so the finish can be matched later.
