Flashing repair explained for Timberleaf homeowners
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Timberleaf.
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.
Restoring the shingles around new flashing
When shingles come up for flashing work, some may crack or tear, especially older ones that have gone brittle. Matching replacements are not always available, and a patch of new shingles beside a weathered roof can stand out.
Before starting, we tell you how many shingles we expect to disturb and what happens if they cannot be reused. You decide how much appearance matters before the work begins, not after the roof is already open. Keeping a few spare shingles from the original roof, if you have any in the garage, makes matching far easier.
Flashing records for a future buyer
A buyer's home inspector will usually comment on chimney flashing, especially when there is tar, sealant or staining in view. A written record of a proper repair answers those questions before they slow down a sale.
We give you a written summary of the work, the materials used and the faces repaired. Keep it with your house papers so a buyer or their inspector can see what was done and when. A tidy record often matters to a buyer as much as the repair itself.
A chimney pulling away from the house
When a chimney tilts or separates from the house, the flashing tears because the roof and the chimney are moving apart. Replacing the metal without dealing with that movement will not hold. Warning signs include a widening gap between chimney and siding, stair-step cracks in the mortar and flashing torn along one side only.
If we see signs of movement, we tell you and recommend a structural assessment before any flashing work. We would rather you spend nothing on flashing now than pay for metal that will tear again.

Before your flashing job in Timberleaf
Our family-owned team in Timberleaf 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 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.
