Who does what at the roof line
Flashing sits between two trades. Our side is the metal joint at the chimney and the brick that holds its counter flashing. Any roofing past the strip we lift, plus the underlayment and rotten decking, is a roofer's job.
For each Keystone Heights house, the estimate draws that line explicitly, item by item, so you know who is responsible for each part and nothing falls between contractors. Where both trades are needed on the same day, we can sequence the work with your roofer. If the roofer and we disagree about where a leak starts, the water test on the flashing settles it.

How It Works
How our flashing pros reflash a chimney in Keystone Heights
-
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
Reflashing during a re-roof in Keystone Heights
A re-roof is the easiest time to replace chimney flashing, because the roofing around the stack is already off. Reusing old counter flashing over a new roof often shortens the life of both.
When a new roof is going on in Keystone Heights, we time our part to the roofer's schedule and put the split of work in writing.

Through-wall flashing when brick is being relaid
The detail the Brick Industry Association draws for chimneys runs the counter flashing through the full thickness of the chimney wall and turns it up into the air space inside, so water soaking into the brick above is collected and sent back out. Its guidance says flashing that stops short of going through a wythe is little better than none.
That detail can only be built while the brick is being laid. When a chimney is being rebuilt above the roof, it is the better option and we plan it into the rebuild. On an existing chimney that is staying, a reglet in a mortar joint is the practical repair.
The underlayment behind the flashing
Under the shingles or tile, the roof has an underlayment, a membrane that is the roof's second line of defense. At a chimney, good practice turns the underlayment up the brick a short way under the flashing, so water that gets past the flashing still meets a barrier.
Underlayment is roofing, and when it is torn, missing or rotted at the chimney, that is the roofer's part. We note its condition when the roofing around the chimney is lifted, and where new underlayment is needed, we sequence our flashing work with the roofer so both layers go back correctly. Whatever we find under the roofing is written down before it is covered again.
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.

FAQ
Before your chimney is reflashed
Can you reflash my chimney without a roofer?
On a shingle roof in good condition, that is possible, because the shingles right along the chimney are lifted and reset as part of the flashing detail. Tile, metal and membrane roofs can need a roofer for the roofing itself. The estimate names who does what.
Is flashing work eligible for the 10% off?
Yes. The 10% off your first service covers flashing repair too. Mention it when you book.
