How the flashing estimate is laid out

The flashing estimate lists each side of the chimney separately: the apron, the two sides and the back pan, with what failed on each and what we propose. It names the counter flashing method, the flashing metal, and any mortar joints that are repointed first.

It also lists roofing that must be lifted and who resets it, whether the chimney needs a cricket and who would build it, and anything we noticed that belongs to a roofer. If you are comparing proposals for your Jacksonville Beach house, those lines make the jobs easy to set side by side. Each line carries its own price, so nothing is bundled.

How It Works

How our flashing pros reflash a chimney in Jacksonville Beach

Roof line checked, tar stripped
We look at every piece around the chimney, and old tar or caulk comes off so the metal under it can be judged.
Roofing lifted around the chimney
Shingles, tile or panels next to the chimney come up just far enough to reach the base flashing.
Base and counter flashing rebuilt
New step or base pieces go in under the roofing, and the counter flashing is set into a sawn joint in the brick and sealed.
Roofing reset over new metal
The roofing goes back down over the new flashing, and you see each piece that was replaced before we leave.

Local Conditions

Flashing metal at the coast in Jacksonville Beach

Jacksonville Beach fronts the ocean, and salt settling on flashing holds moisture against it. Galvanized steel loses its zinc sooner there, and a fastener that does not match the flashing metal corrodes where the two touch.

For chimneys in Jacksonville Beach we quote stainless steel or copper flashing, with fasteners of a matching metal, and the choice is written on the estimate.

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.

Base flashing on concrete and clay tile

Tile sits above the roof deck on battens or adhesive and has a high profile, so step flashing woven between courses does not work the way it does with shingle. The Florida Building Code, Residential section R905.3.8 wants flashing and counterflashing wherever a tile roof meets a wall or a chimney, in line with the manufacturer's instructions and the FRSA/TRI tile installation manual.

Those details have to deal with the tile profile and with water that travels under the tile, which a flat step piece cannot do. We follow them for the base flashing and set our counter flashing over the top. Tiles lifted to reach the flashing are reset or replaced, and who does that is agreed first.

Flashing metal on chimneys near salt water

Close to the coast, salt settles on flashing and holds moisture against it, and metals that last well inland corrode faster. Galvanized steel loses its zinc coating sooner, and fasteners that do not match the flashing metal corrode at the contact point.

For chimneys in this band we choose stainless steel or copper for flashing and fasteners of a compatible metal, following the Brick Industry Association's guidance and each maker's exposure notes. We also look harder at existing flashing along the roof line, because salt-driven corrosion can hide under the lap where the metal stays wet longest. Fasteners there are checked one by one.

FAQ

Before your chimney is reflashed

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.

Does a little rust mean the flashing has to be replaced?

Not necessarily. Light surface rust on otherwise sound metal can be watched. Holes, flaking or rust along the roof line mean the piece has failed and should be replaced.
