Flashing Details Our Specialists Get Right
Flashing repairs booked within 72 hours of the free inspection are 10% off. Here is how we keep water out at the roof line.
Copper flashing and brick staining
Copper is a traditional flashing metal that weathers from bright to brown and then green, a look some homeowners like on a brick chimney. The same Brick Industry Association brief points out that copper can stain the masonry that its runoff crosses.
If a copper look matters to you, our pros talk through where the runoff will go and what that means for light brick or painted stucco. If it does not, another corrosion-resistant metal may be the simpler choice. Both are priced upfront, so the decision is easy to make.
Stainless steel for flashing in masonry
For flashing built into masonry, the Brick Industry Association brief recommends stainless steel conforming to ASTM A240, Type 304, and does not recommend galvanized steel. Stainless is stiff, so its bends and corner pieces take more care to form than softer metals do.
Our specialists quote stainless where it fits the job and your budget, and they say plainly when another corrosion-resistant metal will serve your chimney well. The metal, the method and the price all appear in writing before any work is scheduled.
Agreeing who does each side of the junction
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roof side ties into the roof covering, and the chimney side ties into the masonry. When two crews each assume the other is handling the joint, it can be left half done under a new roof.
Before work starts, our team puts in writing which pieces we install, which ones your roofer installs and in what order. That keeps the base flashing, the counter flashing and any cricket work in one sequence, and it gives you one clear record of who did what.
What the attic can tell you
If you can reach the attic safely, look at the framing beside the chimney after a rain. Dark or damp wood, water lines on the rafters or a wet patch of insulation next to the masonry help show where water is coming in.
Tell us what you saw when you arrange the visit, even if it is only a darker patch of wood. Our team combines it with what we find on the roof, and the inspection costs you nothing either way.
