What goes into a flashing job in Meadow Woods
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Meadow Woods, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Upper pieces lap over lower ones
When flashing goes on in sections, the direction of each lap matters as much as its length. BIA Technical Note 19B says a piece higher up the roofline should lap over the lower piece by at least 2 inches, so water flowing down is always carried onto the next piece and never under it.
A reversed lap, where a lower piece was slipped over an upper one during an old repair, works like a funnel. It is easy to miss from the ground and hard to cure with sealant. We read each seam's direction and correct any lap that runs backwards.
Chimney flashing on a metal roof
Metal panels grow and shrink with temperature, and their ribs change how water moves around a chimney. Flashing on these roofs usually involves a formed back piece, side pieces shaped to the panel profile and closures that seal the open ends of the ribs.
We follow the panel maker's published penetration details wherever they exist, since the wrong fastener or sealant can cause leaks at the ribs or conflict with the maker's terms. If the roofer who installed the panels offers matching trim, we coordinate with them so the chimney junction matches the rest of the roof.
When a roof valley runs into the chimney
A chimney placed where two slopes meet in a valley takes water from both directions. The valley metal and the chimney flashing have to overlap in a specific order, and that joint is one of the trickiest on any roof.
We check how the valley ends at the chimney and whether its water is carried past the flashing or under it. This detail may involve both trades, so we write down which part we handle and leave no gap between the two scopes.
What finished flashing looks like from the ground
After a proper reflash, counter flashing runs in clean lines along the mortar joints or the chimney face, the apron sits flat across the front and the step pieces disappear beneath the roofing along the sides.
There should be no smeared tar, no exposed nail heads and no loose metal edges. If you look from the yard with binoculars after a repair, those are the details to check. Before we leave, we walk you through what was done so you know what good work looks like on your own roof.

What people in Meadow Woods ask about chimney flashing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Meadow Woods is free.
Should the flashing be replaced when I get a new roof?
In most cases, yes. The roofing around the chimney is already coming off, and reusing worn flashing puts old metal at the weakest point of a new roof. We can coordinate the chimney side with your roofer.
Why does the chimney leak only when rain blows from one direction?
Wind drives water sideways and upward, past laps that handle straight-down rain without trouble, so the entry point is often on the face that takes the storm. Note which way the weather came from when the stain grew, and we start with short laps, lifted counter flashing and open corners on that side.
