Getting the flashing right on Rose Isle chimneys
How the job runs in Rose Isle, and where your choices come in.
When a new roof came just before the leak
Leaks that begin soon after a roofing job often point to the junction. Old flashing may have been reused, bent during tear-off or simply covered with fresh sealant instead of replaced.
Share the roofer's paperwork if you have it, because it shows what was supposed to be replaced. We still check the current condition, since paperwork shows what was planned rather than what was finished. If the problem traces to the roofing work, we describe what we found so you can raise it with the roofer, and we quote our own part separately.
Rust at the lower bends
Water lingers longest where flashing turns from the chimney face onto the roof. On painted or galvanized steel, that bend is where rust usually breaks through first, sometimes behind a coat of paint that still looks fine from the driveway.
We probe the bends along each face and at the corners. Surface rust may need only cleaning and coating, while pinholes or thinned metal mean replacement. You learn which applies to each face, so you are not paying to replace good metal or to paint over bad metal.
When the flashing is not the source
Water at a chimney can come from several places. A cracked crown, a missing cap, thirsty brick or open mortar above the roofline can all put water inside the chimney, and it may appear right at the roofline where the flashing takes the blame.
We check those paths before recommending flashing work. If the flashing is sound and the water is coming from higher up, we tell you so and point you to the repair that addresses it. If both need work, each gets its own line so you can see what each repair is expected to fix.
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.

Before your flashing job in Rose Isle
Our family-owned team in Rose Isle answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
Can you repair the flashing on just one side?
Sometimes. If the other faces are sound and the new piece can lap correctly into the old, a one-side repair can work. When a full reflash is worth considering, we price both options in writing.
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.
