Flashing repair explained for Holden Heights homeowners
Straight answers about flashing work in Holden Heights, from the people who do it.
Shingle roofs follow the shingle maker's instructions
On an asphalt shingle roof, Section R905.2.8.4 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, says chimney flashing is applied in accordance with the shingle manufacturer's instructions. Those printed instructions describe how flashing meets that maker's shingles and what the roof covering needs to stay within its terms.
Before we reflash a chimney on a shingle roof, we identify the shingle product where we can and follow its published details. If the brand cannot be identified, we explain the detail we propose and how it lines up with the code's sidewall and base flashing options.
Lifting tile around a chimney without collateral damage
Old clay and concrete tiles can crack when they are stepped on or pried loose. Reaching chimney flashing on a tile roof means removing tiles around the base, stacking them where they will not slide and resetting them once the new metal is in.
We walk tile roofs only where the load can be spread, and we plan the route before anyone climbs. Your estimate lists how many tiles we expect to lift and how breakage is handled, including whether matching replacements can be found. That keeps a flashing repair from turning into a patchwork of mismatched tile.
Roof pitch, height and access
How the crew reaches the chimney affects the time, equipment and care the job needs. A steep pitch, a two-story eave or a chimney tucked between rooflines calls for more setup than a low, gentle roof.
We assess access during the free inspection and explain what equipment will be used and where ladders will stand. If plantings, screen enclosures, solar panels or skylights sit near the work, tell us so the plan protects them from the start.
Fastening step flashing to the roof, not the chimney
The roof and the chimney move independently. The chimney stands on its own foundation, while the roof framing shifts with heat and moisture. Flashing that is nailed to both can tear as they move.
That is why step and base pieces are fastened to the roof deck and covered by counter flashing that is fixed to the chimney. The two layers overlap without being tied together. We check how the existing pieces were fastened and correct any that pin the roof and chimney to each other.

Before your flashing job in Holden Heights
Our family-owned team in Holden Heights answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
Will another coat of caulk stop my flashing leak?
Rarely for long. Sealant belongs inside a proper flashing detail, but spread over an open gap it hardens and pulls away from the masonry. We repair the metal and the joint that holds it.
Should the flashing be replaced when I get a new roof?
In most cases, yes. The roofing around the chimney is already coming off, and reusing worn flashing puts old metal at the weakest point of a new roof. We can coordinate the chimney side with your roofer.
