What goes into a flashing job in Robinswood
What our pros check and why, on flashing jobs across Robinswood.
The code's paths for base and counter flashing
Florida's residential code gives, in Section R905.2.8.1, more than one compliant path for base and counter flashing on shingle roofs. It accepts the manufacturer's installation instructions, compliance with RAS 111, or a prescribed continuous metal L flashing at least 4 inches by 4 inches with set fastening, laps and flashing cement.
We tell you which path your repair follows. Naming it in the estimate keeps the job specific instead of a loose promise to reseal, and it gives a buyer's inspector or a future roofer something concrete to check against.
Soft roof decking at the chimney
A leak that has run for a while can soften the roof decking around the chimney. That damage is often found only when shingles or tile come up for the flashing work.
If we find soft or broken decking, we stop and show you the area before going further. Decking repair is roofing work, so the estimate lists it separately, explains what it involves and says who handles it. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval first.
Scheduling flashing work around the weather
Flashing work opens the roof around the chimney, so it is best done in a dry spell. Sealants and fresh mortar also need time to set before they face heavy rain.
We schedule around the forecast and protect the open area if rain arrives unexpectedly. Mortar packed around new counter flashing is kept out of direct downpours while it firms up. If your chimney is actively leaking, ask about temporary protection until the full repair can be done.
A second roof layer laid over the first
Some roofs carry a new layer of shingles laid over an old one. At the chimney, that often means the old flashing was left in place and new pieces were tucked in or sealed over it, with two sets of laps working against each other.
We check how many layers meet the chimney and how the flashing relates to each. The cleanest repair usually removes both layers around the chimney so the new metal laps a single roof surface. We explain what that involves before recommending it.

Chimney flashing questions from Robinswood
Answers from our specialists in Robinswood, with no sales pressure.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
It depends on the roof covering and the chimney face. We commonly work with aluminum, coated steel, stainless and copper, and the Florida code requires the metal to be corrosion resistant. The metal and its thickness are written into your estimate.
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.
