Flashing repair explained for Eatonville homeowners
Straight answers about flashing work in Eatonville, from the people who do it.
Chimneys on low-slope and flat roof sections
Low-slope roof sections keep water around a chimney longer after every storm. Membrane roofs use their own flashing methods, often the membrane turned up the chimney and covered by metal counter flashing anchored in the masonry.
Our part at that junction is usually the chimney side, meaning the counter flashing and the masonry it anchors into. Where the membrane itself needs work, we say so and explain how the two scopes meet, so neither trade leaves an open edge at the top of the other's work.
Copper flashing on a masonry chimney
Copper resists corrosion well, can be soldered at the corners and weathers to a brown and later green patina. It costs more than aluminum or steel and needs fasteners and neighboring metals that will not react with it.
If you want copper, we explain how it will look over time and what we do to keep it from touching incompatible metal. We also tell you where soldered seams are used and where laps and sealant do the work instead.
The layer under the roofing at the chimney
Beneath shingles or tile lies an underlayment that acts as a second line of defense. At the chimney that layer is often cut, patched or missing, especially where earlier repairs have been made.
When the roofing is opened for flashing, we check the underlayment around the chimney. If it needs repair, we tell you what it involves and whether it falls inside our scope or the roofer's. Where the underlayment is sound, we leave it alone and lap the new flashing over it as the roofing detail requires.
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 repair answers for Eatonville homeowners
Our family-owned team in Eatonville answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
Can you work around my solar panels?
Often, yes. We check the clearance around the chimney during the inspection. If panels need to be moved for access, we tell you up front so the solar installer can be scheduled.
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.
