Flashing repair explained for Delaney Park homeowners
How the job runs in Delaney Park, and where your choices come in.
A cricket is flashed like the rest of the chimney
Where a cricket meets the chimney, the flashing follows the same logic as the other faces. BIA Technical Note 19B describes that intersection as flashed and counter flashed in the same manner as a normal chimney roof intersection, with the roofline flashing reaching at least 4 inches under the roofing material.
Code section R903.2.2 adds that a cricket's covering is sheet metal or the same material as the roof. Older crickets sometimes carry patched valleys where they tie into the main roof. We check those valleys and the chimney joint together, because either one can send water behind the back of the chimney.
Flashing where a framed chase meets the roof
A framed chimney chase, clad in siding or stucco over sheathing, meets the roof like a short wall. The flashing turns up the chase wall, and its upper edge is covered by the cladding rather than set into a mortar joint.
That means the repair often involves loosening the lowest courses of siding to reach the flashing's vertical leg. We explain how much cladding is disturbed and how it is put back. If water is getting in at the top of the chase instead, we point you to the chase cover as a separate repair.
Metal chimney pipe that passes through the roof
Some factory-built fireplaces run a metal chimney pipe straight through the roof instead of up a framed chase. Where the pipe exits, a roof flashing boot and a storm collar shed water, and both are parts of that chimney system rather than generic roofing parts.
Replacement parts need to match the chimney maker's system and installation instructions. We identify the system from its labels where they can still be read, check the boot and collar, and propose matching listed parts. If the labels are gone, we explain how that limits what can be confirmed.
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.

Before your flashing job in Delaney Park
Questions we hear on flashing visits in Delaney Park, answered plainly.
Will another coat of caulk stop my flashing leak?
Rarely for long. Sealant belongs inside a proper flashing detail, but spread over an open gap it hardens and pulls away from the masonry. We repair the metal and the joint that holds it.
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.
