Chimney flashing details that matter in Fullers
Straight answers about flashing work in Fullers, from the people who do it.
Layers of old roofing tar around the base
Black tar smeared up the brick and across the shingles tells you someone has fought a leak here before. Tar can buy time, but it also traps moisture against metal and masonry, hides rust and slows the next repair because it all has to come off first.
When the tar layer is thick, we explain what removing it involves before quoting the flashing. Sometimes the metal under it is sound and needs only cleaning and correct sealing. Sometimes it has rusted through where the tar held water against it. The estimate reflects which one we found, not a guess.
Crown, cap and flashing are three different repairs
The crown is the masonry top of the chimney, the cap is the metal cover over the flue and the flashing is the metal at the roofline. All three keep water out, but each fails in its own way and each is repaired differently.
When a leak is traced to the chimney, we tell you which of the three is involved. If more than one needs work, each appears as its own item. That keeps the flashing repair focused and shows you what every line of the estimate is expected to fix.
Why two-part flashing lets roof and chimney move
Base flashing attaches to the roof, counter flashing attaches to the chimney and the lap between them lets each move a little without tearing the seam. That arrangement is why BIA Technical Note 19B treats the two layers as separate pieces joined by an overlap.
One-piece flashing that runs from the roof straight into a mortar joint cannot flex. As the roof moves, it pulls at the joint or cracks at the bend. When that is the source of the trouble, we replace it with a two-part detail.
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.

Flashing repair answers for Fullers homeowners
Our family-owned team in Fullers answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
What if you find rotten decking once the roof is opened?
We stop and show you before going further. Decking repair is listed as a separate item, and nothing is added to the job without your approval.
We have a skylight near the chimney. Could that be the leak?
It could. A skylight carries its own flashing, often from its maker's kit, and the two can share a strip of roof, so water past one can show up beside the other. We check both and tell you which is letting water in, then quote the skylight side in writing or send you to the right trade.
