How we handle chimney flashing repair in Mariners Village
Before you approve flashing work in Mariners Village, these points are worth knowing.
The uphill face collects the most water
Rain running down the roof meets the back of the chimney head on. On a narrow chimney, a back pan of flashing turns that water around the sides. On a wide one, water can pond behind the chimney, which is the reason crickets exist.
Leaks that show up only in hard rain often trace to this uphill face, where leaves and grit also gather and hold moisture against the metal. We clear what has collected, read the back pan's seams and laps, and check how the side flashing picks up the water the back pan sends around.
Step flashing or a continuous L along the sides
For the chimney sides on a shingle roof, FBC-R Section R905.2.8.3 allows the step-flashing method or a continuous L flashing method. The two go in differently and fail differently, so the choice is worth understanding.
Step pieces weave into each course and can be replaced one at a time. A continuous L is a long piece that relies on its laps and fastening. We look at what your roof has now, how it has held up and what the shingle maker calls for, then recommend a method in writing.
When the flashing is not the source
Water at a chimney can come from several places. A cracked crown, a missing cap, thirsty brick or open mortar above the roofline can all put water inside the chimney, and it may appear right at the roofline where the flashing takes the blame.
We check those paths before recommending flashing work. If the flashing is sound and the water is coming from higher up, we tell you so and point you to the repair that addresses it. If both need work, each gets its own line so you can see what each repair is expected to fix.
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.

Chimney flashing questions from Mariners Village
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Mariners Village is free.
Does my chimney need a cricket?
The Florida Building Code, Residential, calls for a cricket on the ridge side of a chimney more than 30 inches wide. We measure your chimney and tell you whether the rule applies. Cricket work is quoted on its own line.
My roof is metal. Can you still reflash the chimney?
Yes. Metal roofs need flashing shaped to the panel profile and fastened to suit the panel maker's details. We coordinate with your roofer where matching trim is needed.
