What goes into a flashing job in Lake Davis/Greenwood
Before you approve flashing work in Lake Davis/Greenwood, these points are worth knowing.
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.
Nails driven through exposed flashing
Fasteners belong where the next layer covers them. Nails driven through the face of exposed flashing, a common shortcut in patch repairs, leave holes that depend entirely on a dab of sealant and often rust out around the head.
We look for exposed heads along the apron, the counter flashing and any patch metal. Where they appear, the lasting fix is usually new metal fastened in the covered zone rather than more sealant over each nail. The count and location of exposed fasteners go into our written notes.
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.
The written record you keep after the job
After the repair you receive a written summary of the work, including the faces flashed, the metal and the method used for the counter flashing. That record helps the next roofer, chimney crew or buyer understand what is on your roof.
It helps us too if you call again. We can see what was done and compare any new symptom with the original scope instead of starting from zero. The record lists the date of the work as well, which helps anyone judging later whether a new stain is part of the old story or something new.

What people in Lake Davis/Greenwood ask about chimney flashing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Lake Davis/Greenwood is free.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
It depends on the roof covering and the chimney face. We commonly work with aluminum, coated steel, stainless and copper, and the Florida code requires the metal to be corrosion resistant. The metal and its thickness are written into your estimate.
Can I check the flashing myself?
From the ground, yes. Binoculars show lifted metal, rust and tar patches without the risk of climbing. Tell us what you see, and we handle the roof work.
