What goes into a flashing job in Harlem Heights
What our pros check and why, on flashing jobs across Harlem Heights.
How step flashing works with each shingle course
Along the sides of a chimney on a shingle roof, flashing goes in as a run of short L-shaped pieces, one for each course. Every piece is tucked under the shingle above and over the shingle below, so metal and roofing overlap like scales all the way up the slope.
That weave is why step flashing cannot simply be slid in from the outside. Replacing it usually means lifting the shingles along the side of the chimney, pulling the old pieces and setting new ones course by course. Your written estimate says how many courses are opened and how the shingles go back.
Where sealant does belong in a flashing job
Sealant has a real role in chimney flashing. It closes the joint where counter flashing enters the masonry, seals seams between pieces and fills the hidden side of bends. What it should not do is stand in for missing metal or bridge an open gap by itself.
The product matters too. A roof sealant has to suit the metal, the masonry and the heat and sunlight it will face. We name the product in your written scope and apply it only where the flashing design calls for it, so a later roofer or chimney crew can see exactly what was used and where.
Diverting water where a roof edge meets a wall
Where a roof edge ends against a vertical wall, a small diverter piece turns water into the gutter instead of down the wall. On chimneys that sit near a roof edge, the same idea applies at the chimney's base.
When that diverter is missing, water can run behind the cladding or into the chimney base and show up well below the roof. We check for it where the chimney layout calls for one and add it to the scope when it is absent.
One local team from inspection to cleanup
Our family-owned team does the inspection, writes the estimate and carries out the work. The person who explains the repair to you is part of the crew that stands behind it afterward. You deal with the same people from the first call to the final walkthrough.

What people in Harlem Heights ask about chimney flashing
Short answers from our chimney team in Harlem Heights. Call for anything not covered here.
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.
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.
