Chimney flashing details that matter in Wyndham Lakes
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Wyndham Lakes.
Chimney flashing during a new roof
A roof replacement is the natural time to renew chimney flashing, because the roofing around the chimney is coming off anyway. Reusing tired step flashing under a new roof puts old metal at the new roof's weakest point.
Tell us your roofing schedule early. We can inspect the chimney before tear-off, replace the counter flashing and repair the masonry it anchors into, then let the roofer set the base and step pieces to the new covering, or handle them ourselves where agreed. The sequence is written down so nobody assumes the other trade has it covered.
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.
When the mortar holding the flashing gives up
Counter flashing is only as secure as the joint it sits in. When that mortar crumbles, the metal loosens, lifts at its top edge and lets water run straight down behind it.
Re-sealing the edge without repairing the joint rarely lasts. We rake out the failed mortar, reset or replace the counter flashing and repoint the joint so it grips the metal again. If mortar across the rest of the chimney is failing too, we tell you and quote that masonry work on its own line.
Flashing bent to fit your chimney
Chimney flashing is usually formed from flat sheet on a brake, bent to the angles and widths each face needs. Stock pieces can work on the sides, but aprons, corners and back pans often have to be shaped to the chimney in front of us.
We measure each face and form the pieces to fit instead of forcing stock parts into place. A close fit at the corners and bends means less reliance on sealant to close gaps, and a cleaner look from the ground.

Before your flashing job in Wyndham Lakes
Questions we hear on flashing visits in Wyndham Lakes, answered plainly.
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.
How do you decide between a repair and a full reflash?
Flashing usually wears out gradually, with spreading rust, cracked sealant, lifted counter flashing edges and opening corners. One sign alone may not leak yet. When several show on one chimney, we explain whether a repair buys real time or a full reflash makes more sense, and both options go in writing.
