Flashing repair explained for Parramore homeowners
Here is how our local team thinks through a flashing repair at your Parramore home.
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.
Metal chimney pipe that passes through the roof
Some factory-built fireplaces run a metal chimney pipe straight through the roof instead of up a framed chase. Where the pipe exits, a roof flashing boot and a storm collar shed water, and both are parts of that chimney system rather than generic roofing parts.
Replacement parts need to match the chimney maker's system and installation instructions. We identify the system from its labels where they can still be read, check the boot and collar, and propose matching listed parts. If the labels are gone, we explain how that limits what can be confirmed.
Water can travel before it shows inside
A stain on the ceiling a few feet from the chimney does not mean the water entered above that spot. Water that gets past flashing can run along the roof deck, a rafter or the chimney's outer face before it drips onto drywall.
We trace the path from the outside in, beginning at the flashing and following the likely route. Where attic access allows, we look at the decking and framing around the chimney for water marks. The written findings explain how the entry point and the stain connect, or where that link is still uncertain.
Loose masonry above the roofline comes first
Counter flashing anchors into the masonry. If the brick courses at the roofline are loose or the mortar has failed, new flashing has nothing solid to hold on to. Resetting metal in a crumbling joint only moves the leak a few inches.
In that case the masonry repair comes before the flashing, or as part of the same visit. We explain the order and list each part separately, so you can see what the masonry work involves next to the flashing itself.

Flashing repair answers for Parramore homeowners
If your question is not here, our Parramore team is a phone call away.
Do you repair flashing on tile roofs?
Yes. Tile flashing follows the tile maker's instructions and the FRSA/TRI tile installation manual that the Florida code references. We lift and reset tile by hand and tell you in writing how any breakage is handled.
Can you work around my solar panels?
Often, yes. We check the clearance around the chimney during the inspection. If panels need to be moved for access, we tell you up front so the solar installer can be scheduled.
