Our approach to chimney flashing in Goldenrod
Practical points from our chimney flashing crew in Goldenrod.
Four kinds of metal meet at a chimney's roofline
Flashing around a masonry chimney is rarely one part. An apron runs across the downhill face, step pieces climb each side with the roofing courses, a back pan or cricket handles the uphill face, and counter flashing set into the chimney covers the top edges of all of them.
Each piece sheds water onto the next one below it. When one layer fails, rain can slip behind the others and travel a long way before it shows indoors. Our crew checks every face of the chimney, then writes up which pieces stay, which are replaced and the reason for each.
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.
The order of work in a full reflash
A full reflash runs in a set order. Roofing around the chimney is lifted, old flashing and patch material come off, the deck and chimney base are checked, then the apron, step pieces, back pan and counter flashing go on in that order, each lapping the one before it.
The roofing is then restored around the new metal and the counter flashing joint is mortared or sealed. We describe this sequence in your estimate so you know what the roof will look like at each stage and how long the chimney area will be open.
What the free inspection covers on a flashing call
A flashing call starts with a free inspection of the chimney where it meets the roof, the chimney top and, where possible, the attic side. We look at every face, each corner, the counter flashing joints and any patch material.
You get the findings and a written estimate with no charge and no obligation. Book within 72 hours after the inspection and the estimate shows 10% off, and you can book the repair on the spot or take a day or two to think.

Chimney flashing questions from Goldenrod
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Goldenrod is free.
What happens to the stain indoors after the flashing is fixed?
The mark stays until the interior is repaired. Let the area dry through a few rains before repainting, and seal it first so it does not bleed through. Call us if it grows.
Could our downspout be part of the problem?
It can. When an upper roof drains onto the roof beside the chimney, one flashing face takes the whole stream, and even good flashing can be overwhelmed. We check where upper downspouts empty. Moving or extending one is gutter work, which we point out and leave to you or your gutter contractor unless we agree otherwise.
