Getting the flashing right on Taft chimneys
How the job runs in Taft, and where your choices come in.
Counter flashing on a stucco-faced chimney
Plenty of chimneys are finished in stucco over block rather than exposed brick, which means there are no visible mortar joints to set counter flashing into. The detail has to account for the stucco layer, how it sheds water and where the metal can actually be anchored.
We look at how the existing counter flashing was attached and whether water is getting behind the stucco above it. Then we propose a detail suited to that finish, which may mean cutting a groove for the metal or a surface-mounted piece with a proper seal. The method is explained in writing before any cutting.
Flashing where a framed chase meets the roof
A framed chimney chase, clad in siding or stucco over sheathing, meets the roof like a short wall. The flashing turns up the chase wall, and its upper edge is covered by the cladding rather than set into a mortar joint.
That means the repair often involves loosening the lowest courses of siding to reach the flashing's vertical leg. We explain how much cladding is disturbed and how it is put back. If water is getting in at the top of the chase instead, we point you to the chase cover as a separate repair.
Reusing sound counter flashing
Not every flashing repair replaces every piece. Counter flashing that is well anchored in its joint, free of rust holes and long enough to lap the base properly can sometimes stay put while the base or step pieces beneath it are renewed.
We test the anchoring and look at the metal edge by edge before recommending reuse. If it stays, the estimate says so and says why we trust it. If the joint holding it has failed, we explain why reusing the metal would only move the leak a few inches.
The order of work in a full reflash
A full reflash runs in a set order. Roofing around the chimney is lifted, old flashing and patch material come off, the deck and chimney base are checked, then the apron, step pieces, back pan and counter flashing go on in that order, each lapping the one before it.
The roofing is then restored around the new metal and the counter flashing joint is mortared or sealed. We describe this sequence in your estimate so you know what the roof will look like at each stage and how long the chimney area will be open.

Flashing repair answers for Taft homeowners
If your question is not here, our Taft team is a phone call away.
Do you stand behind the flashing work?
Yes. Flashing we install comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if anything is off, our crew returns to correct it.
Why does the chimney leak only when rain blows from one direction?
Wind drives water sideways and upward, past laps that handle straight-down rain without trouble, so the entry point is often on the face that takes the storm. Note which way the weather came from when the stain grew, and we start with short laps, lifted counter flashing and open corners on that side.
