How we handle chimney flashing repair in Windhover
Three parts of the job our flashing specialists explain to homeowners in Windhover before any metal is ordered.
Base flashing needs height on the chimney and reach on the roof
Base flashing turns up the chimney face and runs out across the roof. BIA Technical Note 19B recommends that it extend at least 4 inches up the face of the chimney and along the roof, which gives water room to drain before it can find an edge.
Base pieces that barely clear the roofing are a frequent cause of leaks during a downpour, when the sheet of water on the roof gets deeper. We check the height of the existing base flashing on every face and recommend taller pieces when the old ones leave too little margin.
The layer under the roofing at the chimney
Beneath shingles or tile lies an underlayment that acts as a second line of defense. At the chimney that layer is often cut, patched or missing, especially where earlier repairs have been made.
When the roofing is opened for flashing, we check the underlayment around the chimney. If it needs repair, we tell you what it involves and whether it falls inside our scope or the roofer's. Where the underlayment is sound, we leave it alone and lap the new flashing over it as the roofing detail requires.
One local team from inspection to cleanup
Our family-owned team does the inspection, writes the estimate and carries out the work. The person who explains the repair to you is part of the crew that stands behind it afterward. You deal with the same people from the first call to the final walkthrough.
If something about the finished flashing is not right, call us. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee means we come back and make it right, and our workmanship warranty covers the flashing we install.
Sealants age faster on a roof
Sun, heat and rain age a sealant on a roof far faster than the same product indoors. A bead that looks fine from the ground can be hard, cracked or pulled away from the masonry at arm's length.
We check every sealed joint up close during the inspection. Where sealant is part of a proper flashing detail, a fresh bead can be a simple maintenance item. Where it is doing work that metal should do, we recommend the flashing repair instead.

What people in Windhover ask about chimney flashing
Short answers from our chimney team in Windhover. Call for anything not covered here.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
It depends on the roof covering and the chimney face. We commonly work with aluminum, coated steel, stainless and copper, and the Florida code requires the metal to be corrosion resistant. The metal and its thickness are written into your estimate.
Can the new flashing be painted to match?
Some metals take paint well and some are better left bare, and paint only holds on a clean, prepared surface. We tell you which is which for your flashing. If you choose paint, the product and the color go into your written scope, so the finish can be matched later.
