Flashing repair explained for Stoneybrook East homeowners
Our team in Stoneybrook East walks every homeowner through points like these.
Layers of old roofing tar around the base
Black tar smeared up the brick and across the shingles tells you someone has fought a leak here before. Tar can buy time, but it also traps moisture against metal and masonry, hides rust and slows the next repair because it all has to come off first.
When the tar layer is thick, we explain what removing it involves before quoting the flashing. Sometimes the metal under it is sound and needs only cleaning and correct sealing. Sometimes it has rusted through where the tar held water against it. The estimate reflects which one we found, not a guess.
Chimneys on low-slope and flat roof sections
Low-slope roof sections keep water around a chimney longer after every storm. Membrane roofs use their own flashing methods, often the membrane turned up the chimney and covered by metal counter flashing anchored in the masonry.
Our part at that junction is usually the chimney side, meaning the counter flashing and the masonry it anchors into. Where the membrane itself needs work, we say so and explain how the two scopes meet, so neither trade leaves an open edge at the top of the other's work.
Who handles which layer at the chimney
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roofer owns the roof covering and often the base and step pieces woven into it. The chimney side owns the masonry, the mortar joints that hold counter flashing and everything above the roofline.
Leaks often live in the gap between those two responsibilities. When both trades are involved, we write down which layer each one handles, in what order, and who seals the final laps. Clear boundaries keep your repair from ending up as two partial fixes with one open seam between them.
When opening the roof reveals more
Some damage becomes visible only once the old flashing comes off. Rusted metal under tar, soft decking or loose brick at the base can change what the repair needs. A course of brick that crumbles when the old counter flashing comes out is a typical example.
When that happens, we pause, show you what we found and explain the options before continuing. Any change is written and approved first. The price you agreed to stays the price you pay unless you choose to add something.

Before your flashing job in Stoneybrook East
Our family-owned team in Stoneybrook East answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
Should the flashing be replaced when I get a new roof?
In most cases, yes. The roofing around the chimney is already coming off, and reusing worn flashing puts old metal at the weakest point of a new roof. We can coordinate the chimney side with your roofer.
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.
