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 Northside 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
From attic check to sealed reglet in Northside
-
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
Tile roofs and chimney flashing in Northside
Concrete and clay tile stand tall off the roof deck, so flashing at a chimney in Northside has to follow the tile's profile. Tiles next to the chimney come up to reach the base flashing and go back afterward.
We say before the job which tiles we lift, and a broken tile is noted for matching.

Soldered corners and sealed laps
Where flashing turns a corner or two pieces overlap, the joint has to be closed. With copper, corners and laps can be soldered into a single piece of metal. Stainless steel can also be soldered with the right flux and technique, and laps can be sealed with a sealant suited to the metal.
Soldering removes the seam entirely, which is why we favor it wherever the metal allows. Sealed laps work when the lap is long enough and runs downhill. How corners and laps are joined on your chimney depends on which metal allows which method. Whichever method is used, the corner is checked with water before the counter flashing closes over it.
Copper flashing and the staining below it
Copper is a durable flashing metal for chimneys. It handles the temperatures, it can be set into fresh mortar, and it solders into clean corners. The Brick Industry Association lists one drawback: runoff from copper can stain the crown or the brick below it.
That stain is a greenish or dark streak, and on light brick or stucco it can be visible from the ground. Where staining would be a problem, stainless steel is the alternative. If you choose copper, that possibility is mentioned up front, so staining does not come as a surprise a year later. Copper also darkens as it weathers, which some owners like and some do not.
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.

What decides the flashing detail
- Roof covering type, and the maker's or manual's flashing detail
- Flashing metal and thickness, matched to the roof and its fasteners
- Decking damage found at the chimney, noted for the roofer
- Coordination with a planned re-roof, if one is scheduled
FAQ
Flashing questions from Northside
Will the new flashing match my roof?
The flashing is detailed to your roof type, and the roofing around it goes back as it was where it can be lifted and reset. Broken tile or discontinued shingle may need close matches, and we flag that before any roofing comes up.
Is flashing work eligible for the 10% off?
Yes. The 10% off your first service covers flashing repair too. Mention it when you book.
