Working with us in Baldwin
Flashing is the metal that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof around it, and it is one of the first places we test when water shows up nearby. A proper detail has two layers.
Step flashing is woven into the roof covering one piece per course and turns up the side of the chimney, and counter flashing is let into a cut joint in the masonry and folded down over the step flashing, so water sheds from one layer to the other while the roof and the chimney move independently.
The front and the back of the stack get their own formed pieces. Failure shows up as counter flashing pulled out of its joint, sealant used in place of a cut joint, rusted or split metal, or flashing nailed through into the brick. Sealant alone can hide a leak for a while, but it cracks as the metal heats and moves, and the leak returns.
The details differ by roof. Shingles take step flashing woven course by course, tile roofs need a formed pan or a flexible flashing shaped to the profile, metal roofs follow the panel maker's details, and a low-slope roof needs its membrane turned up the chimney and counter-flashed. We work on the flashing itself and leave the roof covering to a roofer when the covering has failed, and the estimate says which part is whose.
It also names each side of the stack, what is wrong with it, and the metal and method for the repair. On a roof that is being replaced, the right time to renew flashing is while the roofer has the covering open around the chimney, and we can coordinate that timing with them. Where just the top-edge sealant has dried out on sound flashing, resealing can do for now.
Each roof type gets its own flashing detail, and our flashing specialists name it on the estimate if your Baldwin house has a stain near the stack. Book your free inspection in Baldwin at (904) 920-5495, or send the short form.

FAQ
Questions from Baldwin
What can safely wait, and what cannot?
Anything that lets water in, lets smoke or exhaust into the house, or puts heat near wood framing goes at the top of the estimate. Cosmetic items, such as surface stains with no water behind them or a worn but working damper handle, go lower and are marked as able to wait. We write both lists so you can plan the work across more than one visit if that suits your budget.
Do chimney repairs need a permit?
Some do and some do not, and the local building department makes that call. Rebuilding a chimney, adding a fireplace or installing a new gas appliance is the kind of work that goes through a permit and a final inspection by the building department. Like-for-like repairs such as a new cap or repointing may not. When a permit applies, the estimate says so and names who applies for it.
Will the work make a mess inside the house?
We protect the room before any work at the fireplace. That means drop cloths from the hearth to the door, the opening sealed off while the flue is brushed, and a sealed, filtered vacuum running during the sweep. Soot and mortar dust stay in the work zone, and we clean the hearth area before we leave.
