How we handle chimney flashing repair in Lockhart
Practical points from our chimney flashing crew in Lockhart.
Downspouts that empty beside the chimney
An upper-roof downspout that empties onto the roof near a chimney sends a concentrated stream across one flashing face. Even well-made flashing can be overwhelmed when a whole roof section drains onto it.
We look at where upper downspouts discharge and whether that water crosses the chimney junction. Sometimes extending or redirecting the downspout matters as much as the flashing itself. We point it out and leave the gutter work to you or your gutter contractor unless we agree otherwise.
Crown, cap and flashing are three different repairs
The crown is the masonry top of the chimney, the cap is the metal cover over the flue and the flashing is the metal at the roofline. All three keep water out, but each fails in its own way and each is repaired differently.
When a leak is traced to the chimney, we tell you which of the three is involved. If more than one needs work, each appears as its own item. That keeps the flashing repair focused and shows you what every line of the estimate is expected to fix.
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.
A second roof layer laid over the first
Some roofs carry a new layer of shingles laid over an old one. At the chimney, that often means the old flashing was left in place and new pieces were tucked in or sealed over it, with two sets of laps working against each other.
We check how many layers meet the chimney and how the flashing relates to each. The cleanest repair usually removes both layers around the chimney so the new metal laps a single roof surface. We explain what that involves before recommending it.

What people in Lockhart ask about chimney flashing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Lockhart 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.
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.
