Chimney chase repair and framing work in Boggy Creek

Front and back flashing that follows the shingle maker

The downslope face of a chase gets an apron flashing that lies over the shingles, and the upslope face gets a back flashing or a cricket. Under R905.2.8.4, chimney flashing on a shingle roof is applied following the asphalt shingle manufacturer's instructions.

So the details can change with the shingle brand, and a repair should follow the instructions for the roof you actually have. A bead of tar along the joint is not flashing. It usually hides a gap rather than closing it, and it can trap water against the siding.

We look at the apron and back flashing whenever the lower chase siding is off. Your estimate states whether that flashing is reused, replaced or left for a roofer, so nobody assumes someone else handled it. If the apron has been caulked or tarred over, the old material comes off so the flashing can be judged properly.

Probing the chase to find the damage boundary

The visible stain is seldom the edge of the damage. Water spreads inside a chase along the sheathing and down the studs, often further than it shows outside. Finding the real boundary is what lets us price the job honestly.

Our technicians use an awl to test wood at joints, corners and the base, a moisture meter to find wet areas that still feel firm, and light taps on stucco to find hollow spots. A high moisture reading on its own does not condemn a board, so wet areas get probed as well. Where access allows, the attic side of the chase gets checked too.

The written estimate then separates the areas we expect to replace from the areas we will confirm once the siding is off. That split lets homeowners in Boggy Creek see the plan before anyone picks up a pry bar.

A family-owned crew on your roof

We are a family-owned and operated company, and locally owned. On a chase job, that shows up in how decisions get made. When a question comes up mid-job, like whether a stained stud can stay, you get a straight answer and a written price before anything changes.

Chase repairs run in stages, so there are several of those moments. Our crew shows you what the opened wall looks like, explains where the damage stops and waits for your approval before going past the estimate. You have one company to call about the job, and that company answers for the finished work. Our family-owned team treats a chase repair in Boggy Creek the way we would want our own house handled, with the yard protected, the debris hauled off and the plan in writing before the first board comes loose.
