Metal panels and their curb details
Metal panels grow and shrink noticeably through a hot day, and each panel maker issues curb and wall details for anything that pierces the roof, chimneys included. Those details use formed flashings, foam closures and specific fasteners in specific places.
With a metal roof on your Orange Park house, we follow the panel maker's detail and keep the flashing metal compatible with the panels, so neither corrodes the other. Where the detail needs panels cut or replaced, that part is roofing work and is named as such. Fasteners through the panels are placed where the detail puts them, even when another spot would be easier. Our flashing pros check Orange Park roof lines for free; the number is (904) 920-5495.
Counted as a direct line, Jacksonville and Orange Park are roughly 10 miles apart. Orange Park is part of Clay County.

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
Metal roof panels around chimneys in Orange Park
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 Orange Park, we follow the panel maker's trim and fastener details at the chimney.

One step flashing piece for each course of shingle
Step flashing is a set of small bent pieces, one per shingle course, each turned up the chimney and laid on the roof under the shingle above it. Each piece overlaps the one below it, so water on any piece is carried out onto the face of the shingle underneath.
The pieces have to be long enough to overlap properly and tall enough up the brick to sit under the counter flashing. Undersized pieces, missing pieces, or one long strip bent to follow the slope all leave paths for water. The Florida Building Code, Residential sends chimney flashing on a shingle roof to the shingle maker's instructions, which set those dimensions.
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.
Membrane base flashing on a low-slope roof
Low-slope roofs covered with a membrane use a strip of the membrane itself as the base flashing at the chimney, turned up the brick and adhered to it per the membrane maker's instructions. The top edge of that strip is where these joints fail: it peels from the masonry and water runs behind it.
Our part is the counter flashing that covers that top edge, let into the brick and lapping down over the membrane. The membrane work belongs to the roofer. When both are done together, the membrane goes up first and the counter flashing follows. A membrane edge that has already peeled is noted for the roofer before our metal goes over it.

FAQ
Before your chimney is reflashed
How do I know the flashing is the problem and not the roof?
Stains close to the chimney on the rafters or ceiling point to flashing, while stains farther away can be the roof itself. When it is not clear, a water test on the flashing alone settles it, and the written finding reports what the test showed.
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.
