What a flashing day looks like

One day on the roof can cover a flashing repair, weather permitting, though a large chimney or a tile roof can stretch it. The morning goes on removing the old joint and repointing the mortar line; the metal work follows once the joints can take it.

Little happens inside the house during a flashing job in Middleburg: the crew is on the roof, and the real noise is the saw when the reglet is cut. Before we leave, you see what was replaced and point out anything the roofer still has to finish. Anything left for another trade is written on the same sheet. Send the short form or call (904) 920-5495, and a flashing specialist will come out to your Middleburg home.

Middleburg is part of Clay County. Middleburg had 12,881 residents at the 2020 Census.

How It Works

How chimney flashing repair runs

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

Hurricane season wind on Middleburg flashing

Atlantic storms keep coming from June through November, and inland roofs in Middleburg still see strong gusts. A lifted flashing edge is enough for the next storm to find the gap.

After a storm, a stain near the chimney or a bent piece seen from the yard is the time to call. We check all four sides.

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.

Stepped counter flashing along a sloped roof

Mortar joints run level, but a roof runs at a slope. Counter flashing along the side of a chimney has to bridge that difference, and it is cut in steps to do that: each piece set into a level joint, with its lower edge angled to follow the roof and lap over the step flashing beneath it.

Each step laps the one below it so water runs from piece to piece down the slope. The laps between steps have to point downhill. A counter flashing cut as one long diagonal strip, set into the brick at an angle across several courses, leaves open slots through the face of the brick where water can enter.

Chimney flashing on metal roof panels

Metal roof panels move with heat, and each panel maker publishes details for penetrations and walls: which trim, which closures, which fasteners, and where they go. A generic piece of step flashing screwed through the flat of a panel can leak at every screw as the panel moves.

We work to the panel maker's detail for the chimney, with counter flashing let into the masonry above. The flashing metal is chosen to be compatible with the panel coating. Cutting or replacing panels is roofing work, listed apart from ours. Sealant tapes and closures come from the panel maker's system where it has them.

FAQ

Before your chimney is reflashed

Who replaces chimney flashing in Middleburg?

Our flashing crew does. For homes in Middleburg we start in the attic, take the old joint apart, repoint where needed and fit new base and counter flashing. Call (904) 920-5495 to book.

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.
