Flashing repair explained for Millenia homeowners
How the job runs in Millenia, and where your choices come in.
Who handles which layer at the chimney
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roofer owns the roof covering and often the base and step pieces woven into it. The chimney side owns the masonry, the mortar joints that hold counter flashing and everything above the roofline.
Leaks often live in the gap between those two responsibilities. When both trades are involved, we write down which layer each one handles, in what order, and who seals the final laps. Clear boundaries keep your repair from ending up as two partial fixes with one open seam between them.
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.
Watching the ceiling after the repair
After the repair, an old stain can take a while to dry out. A stain that stays the same size means the water has stopped. One that grows or darkens after rain means something is still getting in.
Mark the edge of the stain lightly in pencil once the job is done. If it spreads past that line, call us and note the weather when it happened. We then review the repair and the other paths into the chimney together, at no charge for the return look.
A safe way to check your flashing from the yard
A pair of binoculars from the yard or an upstairs window shows a lot. Look for gaps between metal and masonry, rust streaks below the chimney, metal that has lifted and dark patches of tar or sealant around the base.
Write down what you see and on which side. That is useful information when you call, and it helps us bring the right materials to the first visit. We handle the climbing so you never need to.

Before your flashing job in Millenia
Questions we hear on flashing visits in Millenia, answered plainly.
Can you fix chimney flashing without replacing my roof?
Usually, yes. We lift only the roofing around the chimney, replace the flashing and restore the shingles or tile we moved. A full roof replacement comes into it only when the roof itself is worn out.
Do you stand behind the flashing work?
Yes. Flashing we install comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if anything is off, our crew returns to correct it.
