When a small flashing repair will do
A full reflash is not the answer to every flashing problem. A counter flashing that has pulled out of its joint on one side can be reset and resealed. One rusted step piece can sometimes be replaced when the roofing around it lifts cleanly.
When a small repair will work, the Murray Hill proposal offers it and says what it leaves in place. When the rest of the flashing is close behind, it says that too, so you can weigh a small repair now against doing the whole joint once. Either way, the pieces that stay are checked and listed by side. Send the short form or call (904) 920-5495, and a flashing specialist will come out to your Murray Hill home.
Murray Hill lies within Duval County. The coast is more than about six miles from Murray Hill.

How It Works
From attic check to sealed reglet in Murray Hill
-
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
Metal roof panels around chimneys in Murray Hill
Metal roof panels move with heat, and each panel maker publishes its own details for walls and chimneys. Step flashing screwed through the flat of a panel can leak at every screw.
On metal roofs in Murray Hill, we follow the panel maker's trim and fastener details at the chimney.

Cutting a reglet for the counter flashing
A reglet is a slot sawn into a mortar joint to take the top edge of the counter flashing. It is cut along the joint rather than into the face of the brick, deep enough to hold the bent edge of the metal firmly, and cleaned of dust so sealant can grip the sides.
The counter flashing's top edge is bent to fit into the slot, pushed in, wedged tight and sealed. On a sloped roof the counter flashing is stepped, each piece set into the joint at its own height, so it follows the slope while each top edge stays in a horizontal joint.
Surface-mounted termination bars and their limits
Some counter flashing is not set into the brick at all. It is screwed to the face of the chimney through a metal termination bar, with sealant along the top edge. That detail turns up on quick repairs because it avoids cutting the masonry.
The weakness is that everything depends on that sealant. Brick is porous and uneven, water runs behind the bar as the sealant ages, and every screw is another hole. We use surface-mounted bars only where a reglet cannot be cut, such as some stone faces, and we flag the maintenance it will need.
Hemmed edges on the flashing
The exposed lower edge of counter flashing is folded back on itself, a hem, rather than left as a raw cut edge. The hem stiffens the metal so it lies flat against the base flashing instead of curling, and it gives water a clean edge to drip from.
A raw edge can ripple, lift in wind and let water wick back underneath. On aprons and counter flashing we hem the exposed edges where the metal allows it. It is a small thing that makes the joint last longer and look finished from the ground. Hems are formed on the bench before the piece goes up.

What decides the flashing detail
- Repointing along the flashing line before the new metal goes in
- Sealant type and joint preparation where the detail calls for sealant
- Coordination with a planned re-roof, if one is scheduled
- Temporary cover for the joint if weather interrupts the work
FAQ
Flashing questions from Murray Hill
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. The 10% off your first service covers flashing repair too. Mention it when you book.
