How we handle chimney flashing repair in Richmond Estates
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Richmond Estates, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Base flashing needs height on the chimney and reach on the roof
Base flashing turns up the chimney face and runs out across the roof. BIA Technical Note 19B recommends that it extend at least 4 inches up the face of the chimney and along the roof, which gives water room to drain before it can find an edge.
Base pieces that barely clear the roofing are a frequent cause of leaks during a downpour, when the sheet of water on the roof gets deeper. We check the height of the existing base flashing on every face and recommend taller pieces when the old ones leave too little margin.
Chimney flashing during a new roof
A roof replacement is the natural time to renew chimney flashing, because the roofing around the chimney is coming off anyway. Reusing tired step flashing under a new roof puts old metal at the new roof's weakest point.
Tell us your roofing schedule early. We can inspect the chimney before tear-off, replace the counter flashing and repair the masonry it anchors into, then let the roofer set the base and step pieces to the new covering, or handle them ourselves where agreed. The sequence is written down so nobody assumes the other trade has it covered.
Satellite dishes and antenna straps on the chimney
Mounting a dish or antenna to a chimney puts fastener holes in the masonry and sometimes through the flashing. Straps wrapped around the chimney can also trap debris and hold water against the brick near the roofline.
If a mount is no longer used, removing it and filling the holes properly usually belongs in the flashing job. If it is still in service, we work around it and note any holes near the flashing that need sealing.
Branches over the chimney
Branches over the roof drop leaves onto the chimney junction and can rub against flashing and counter flashing in the wind. Both wear the metal and its seals faster than weather alone.
If limbs hang over or touch the chimney, we mention it in the findings. Trimming is your call, but it keeps the junction clearer and spares the new flashing from scraping. We also note any limb that would make the roof work unsafe on the day.

Chimney flashing questions from Richmond Estates
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Richmond Estates is free.
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.
How do you know the leak is the flashing and not the chimney itself?
During the free inspection we check the crown, cap, brick and flashing and trace how water reaches the stain. If the flashing is not the source, we tell you and point to the repair that is.
