What goes into a flashing job in Lake Nona
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Lake Nona, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
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.
Surface-mounted counter flashing and its limits
Some counter flashing is screwed flat to the chimney face with a bead of sealant along its top edge. That approach depends on the bead staying stuck fast to the masonry, which is a lot to ask of a joint that bakes in the sun and takes every storm.
It can be the right answer on certain finishes when it is installed carefully and checked now and then. On brick with sound mortar joints, setting the metal into a joint is usually the more durable choice. We explain both and recommend the one that suits your chimney face.
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.
One step piece for every course
Step flashing works because each piece matches one course of roofing. A piece set too long or too short can end up exposed or miss the course above, leaving a slot where water walks in.
We fit each piece to the course it sits in and check the exposure of the shingle above it. When the existing side flashing was installed in long runs rather than individual steps, we explain why that detail tends to leak and what replacing it involves.

What people in Lake Nona ask about chimney flashing
Answers from our specialists in Lake Nona, with no sales pressure.
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.
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.
