How we handle chimney flashing repair in Dixie Belle
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Dixie Belle, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
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.
Chimney flashing during a new roof
A roof replacement is the natural time to renew chimney flashing, because the roofing around the chimney is coming off anyway. Reusing tired step flashing under a new roof puts old metal at the new roof's weakest point.
Tell us your roofing schedule early. We can inspect the chimney before tear-off, replace the counter flashing and repair the masonry it anchors into, then let the roofer set the base and step pieces to the new covering, or handle them ourselves where agreed. The sequence is written down so nobody assumes the other trade has it covered.
When opening the roof reveals more
Some damage becomes visible only once the old flashing comes off. Rusted metal under tar, soft decking or loose brick at the base can change what the repair needs. A course of brick that crumbles when the old counter flashing comes out is a typical example.
When that happens, we pause, show you what we found and explain the options before continuing. Any change is written and approved first. The price you agreed to stays the price you pay unless you choose to add something.
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.

Chimney flashing questions from Dixie Belle
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Dixie Belle is free.
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.
How do you know the leak is the flashing and not the chimney itself?
During the free inspection we check the crown, cap, brick and flashing and trace how water reaches the stain. If the flashing is not the source, we tell you and point to the repair that is.
