Our approach to chimney flashing in Christmas
Three parts of the job our flashing specialists explain to homeowners in Christmas before any metal is ordered.
When the mortar holding the flashing gives up
Counter flashing is only as secure as the joint it sits in. When that mortar crumbles, the metal loosens, lifts at its top edge and lets water run straight down behind it.
Re-sealing the edge without repairing the joint rarely lasts. We rake out the failed mortar, reset or replace the counter flashing and repoint the joint so it grips the metal again. If mortar across the rest of the chimney is failing too, we tell you and quote that masonry work on its own line.
Satellite dishes and antenna straps on the chimney
Mounting a dish or antenna to a chimney puts fastener holes in the masonry and sometimes through the flashing. Straps wrapped around the chimney can also trap debris and hold water against the brick near the roofline.
If a mount is no longer used, removing it and filling the holes properly usually belongs in the flashing job. If it is still in service, we work around it and note any holes near the flashing that need sealing.
Restoring the shingles around new flashing
When shingles come up for flashing work, some may crack or tear, especially older ones that have gone brittle. Matching replacements are not always available, and a patch of new shingles beside a weathered roof can stand out.
Before starting, we tell you how many shingles we expect to disturb and what happens if they cannot be reused. You decide how much appearance matters before the work begins, not after the roof is already open. Keeping a few spare shingles from the original roof, if you have any in the garage, makes matching far easier.
Cleaning up after flashing work
Flashing jobs produce old metal, sealant scraps, mortar dust and sometimes broken shingles or tile. Nails and metal offcuts can end up in gutters and in the yard below, and roofing granules wash loose whenever shingles are lifted.
We clean the roof, the gutters and the ground around the work area and sweep for stray nails before leaving. Old material is hauled away unless you ask to keep it. Cleanup is part of the scope, not an extra.

What people in Christmas ask about chimney flashing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Christmas is free.
Do you repair flashing on tile roofs?
Yes. Tile flashing follows the tile maker's instructions and the FRSA/TRI tile installation manual that the Florida code references. We lift and reset tile by hand and tell you in writing how any breakage is handled.
Why does the chimney leak only when rain blows from one direction?
Wind drives water sideways and upward, past laps that handle straight-down rain without trouble, so the entry point is often on the face that takes the storm. Note which way the weather came from when the stain grew, and we start with short laps, lifted counter flashing and open corners on that side.
