Our approach to chimney flashing in Roosevelt Park
Practical points from our chimney flashing crew in Roosevelt Park.
Tile roofs have their own flashing manual
On clay and concrete tile roofs, Section R905.3.8 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, wants flashing and counterflashing wherever the roof meets a vertical surface, done to that code chapter, to the tile maker's instructions and to the FRSA/TRI Florida high wind manual for concrete and clay roof tile.
Tile flashing is shaped and layered differently from shingle work, often with pans and closures that sit under the tile itself. We follow the manual's details at the chimney junction and tell you plainly which tiles must come up, how they are reset and what happens if an old tile breaks.
Folded or soldered corners
Corners can be closed by folding the metal into a tab that wraps around, or by soldering a seam on metals that accept solder, such as copper. Each method has its place, and each needs care to avoid a gap at the fold or the seam.
We explain which approach suits your flashing metal and chimney shape. Folded corners are common on aluminum and coated steel, while soldered corners are common on copper. Either way, each corner is sealed and checked before the roofing goes back over it.
When a home inspection flags the flashing
Home inspection reports sometimes say only that the chimney flashing needs further evaluation. That note can mean anything from a small gap to a failed system, and it leaves buyers and sellers guessing.
We look at the flashing and give you a written description of what we found and what the repair involves. Both sides can then decide on a repair or a credit with real information instead of a worst-case guess. If the seller would rather repair than negotiate, the same written scope becomes the work order, and the finished summary goes into the closing file.
Patch metal slipped over old flashing
A common quick fix is a new piece of metal slipped over or under the old flashing and sealed at the edges. It can stop a drip for a while, but it adds another set of seams and hides what is happening underneath.
We remove patch pieces during a full repair to see the original metal and the roof beneath. If a patch has actually been working, we tell you, and we can discuss whether a smaller repair makes sense.

Chimney flashing questions from Roosevelt Park
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Roosevelt Park is free.
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.
How do you decide between a repair and a full reflash?
Flashing usually wears out gradually, with spreading rust, cracked sealant, lifted counter flashing edges and opening corners. One sign alone may not leak yet. When several show on one chimney, we explain whether a repair buys real time or a full reflash makes more sense, and both options go in writing.
