Concrete and clay tile around the chimney

Tile changes the method. Concrete and clay tiles stand tall off the deck on battens or adhesive, so the flashing has to deal with the shape of the tile as well as the roof deck. For those details, the code defers to the FRSA/TRI manual written for tile.

Tiles around the chimney on a roof in Green Cove Springs have to come up to reach the base flashing and go back afterward. Tile can break when lifted, and some profiles are hard to match, so we list which tiles come up, whether spares exist, and who resets them. Water showing at the roof line in Green Cove Springs?

Wide chimneys and crickets in Green Cove Springs

Water running down the roof piles up against the uphill face of a wide chimney. The residential code calls for a cricket there, a small ridge that splits the flow around the stack.

We check the width of your chimney in Green Cove Springs and say on the estimate whether a cricket is needed and who builds it.

Continuous L flashing and why we prefer steps at a chimney

Section R905.2.8.3 of the Florida Building Code, Residential allows sidewall flashing on shingle roofs to be done by the step-flashing method or with a continuous L flashing, a single bent strip running the length of the wall. Both are allowed methods for a sidewall.

At a chimney, we prefer steps. The chimney and the roof move separately, and individual pieces let the roof move without dragging the flashing with it. A single strip fastened along its length has to be sealed at every shingle, and it lets water that gets under one course travel the full length.

The apron across the downslope face

On the downslope face of the chimney, water runs away from the brick, so the flashing there is a single apron: a piece that lies over the shingles or tile below and turns up the face of the chimney. Its lower edge sits on top of the roofing so water runs off it and down the roof.

At each end, the apron wraps around the corner of the chimney and tucks under the first step flashing piece on each side, and an apron cut short of that tuck leaves the corner open to water. A counter flashing over the apron's upturned edge finishes the face. On tile, the apron has to be formed over the tile profile rather than lying flat.

When existing step flashing can stay

Some step flashing can stay in place. If the step flashing is the right size, sound metal with no holes, and correctly lapped under the roofing, it can stay while the counter flashing above it is rebuilt. That keeps the roofing undisturbed.

We check a few step pieces by lifting the counter flashing and the roofing edge. Rusted, short or face-nailed pieces mean the whole run is replaced. Either way you hear which way we went on your chimney and why, so a partial repair is a decision you make with us. Pieces that stay are recorded by side, so the next person knows what is original.

Flashing questions from Green Cove Springs

Is copper or stainless steel better for chimney flashing?

Both are durable around masonry. Copper solders neatly but can stain light brick below it; stainless steel does not stain but is stiffer to form. The choice also depends on your roof's metal, and the estimate explains which we recommend.

Is flashing work eligible for the 10% off?

Yes. Book the flashing work in the 72 hours after your free inspection and it comes 10% off, like any other service. Mention it when you book.
