Flashing repair explained for Flamingo homeowners
Our team in Flamingo walks every homeowner through points like these.
Who handles which layer at the chimney
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roofer owns the roof covering and often the base and step pieces woven into it. The chimney side owns the masonry, the mortar joints that hold counter flashing and everything above the roofline.
Leaks often live in the gap between those two responsibilities. When both trades are involved, we write down which layer each one handles, in what order, and who seals the final laps. Clear boundaries keep your repair from ending up as two partial fixes with one open seam between them.
A chimney beside a taller wall
When a chimney sits against a second-story wall, the flashing has to work with the wall's weather barrier and cladding as well as the roof. Water running down the wall and down the chimney can meet at the same inside corner.
We check that the flashing at that corner turns water onto the roof and away from the wall. Repairs here can involve cladding, so we explain how much is disturbed and how it is restored before any work starts.
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.
Patch metal slipped over old flashing
A common quick fix is a new piece of metal slipped over or under the old flashing and sealed at the edges. It can stop a drip for a while, but it adds another set of seams and hides what is happening underneath.
We remove patch pieces during a full repair to see the original metal and the roof beneath. If a patch has actually been working, we tell you, and we can discuss whether a smaller repair makes sense.

Flashing repair answers for Flamingo homeowners
Our family-owned team in Flamingo answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
Do you need to go into my attic?
It helps when there is access near the chimney. Water marks on the decking and framing show which face is letting water in. We always ask first and keep the visit tidy.
Does my chimney need a cricket?
The Florida Building Code, Residential, calls for a cricket on the ridge side of a chimney more than 30 inches wide. We measure your chimney and tell you whether the rule applies. Cricket work is quoted on its own line.
