What goes into a flashing job in Lawsona/Fern Creek
What our pros check and why, on flashing jobs across Lawsona/Fern Creek.
Water that gets behind the counter flashing from above
Brick and mortar absorb water. When the masonry above the roofline is saturated, water can move down inside the chimney wall and come out behind the counter flashing, where no amount of work on the outside metal will stop it.
Clues include dampness on the chimney inside the attic, above the roof deck, and wet spots that continue after new flashing is in. We look for those signs and, when they show up, recommend the masonry or crown repair that deals with water entering higher up.
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.
Painting flashing to match the chimney
Some homeowners want the flashing painted to match the brick, the stucco or the roof. Paint can protect certain steels and make the junction less noticeable from the street, but it must suit the metal and go on a clean, prepared surface.
We tell you which flashing metals take paint well and which are better left bare. If you choose paint, the product and color are recorded in your scope so the finish can be matched later.
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.
