Flashing repair explained for Lake Butler homeowners
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Lake Butler.
Tile roofs have their own flashing manual
On clay and concrete tile roofs, Section R905.3.8 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, wants flashing and counterflashing wherever the roof meets a vertical surface, done to that code chapter, to the tile maker's instructions and to the FRSA/TRI Florida high wind manual for concrete and clay roof tile.
Tile flashing is shaped and layered differently from shingle work, often with pans and closures that sit under the tile itself. We follow the manual's details at the chimney junction and tell you plainly which tiles must come up, how they are reset and what happens if an old tile breaks.
Leaks that come only with blowing rain
If the chimney leaks only when rain blows from one direction, the entry point is often on the face that direction strikes. Wind pushes water up and sideways, past laps that shed straight-down rain with no trouble at all.
Note which way the storm came from when the stain grew. That detail can narrow the search to one or two faces. Short laps, lifted counter flashing and open corners are the usual suspects, and we check each one on the face your notes point to.
Restoring the shingles around new flashing
When shingles come up for flashing work, some may crack or tear, especially older ones that have gone brittle. Matching replacements are not always available, and a patch of new shingles beside a weathered roof can stand out.
Before starting, we tell you how many shingles we expect to disturb and what happens if they cannot be reused. You decide how much appearance matters before the work begins, not after the roof is already open. Keeping a few spare shingles from the original roof, if you have any in the garage, makes matching far easier.
Plumbing and roof vents near the chimney
Vent pipes and roof vents close to the chimney have their own boots and flashing. A cracked rubber boot a foot away can make a leak look like it is coming from the chimney junction.
We check any vents within reach of the chimney during the inspection. If a vent boot is the problem, we say so, and you avoid paying for chimney flashing that was never the source. Replacing a cracked boot is a small roofing task, and we tell you who can handle it.

Flashing repair answers for Lake Butler homeowners
Questions we hear on flashing visits in Lake Butler, answered plainly.
Can you repair the flashing on just one side?
Sometimes. If the other faces are sound and the new piece can lap correctly into the old, a one-side repair can work. When a full reflash is worth considering, we price both options in writing.
What should I look for after a big storm?
From the yard, look for metal standing away from the masonry, bent edges or pieces that are gone. A leak that starts right after a storm usually traces to a piece that was already weak. If you see anything, book a free inspection before the next heavy rain and keep the ladder in the garage.
