How we stop water at the roofline in Markham

Counter flashing that covers the steps

Step or base flashing alone would leave its top edge open to water running down the brick. Counter flashing covers that edge. The Brick Industry Association's detail laps the counter flashing at least 3 inches over the base flashing and carries it into the chimney wall, so water draining down the masonry is turned out over the joint instead of behind it.

When counter flashing is loose, short or missing, we reset or replace it into the brick. Book a free flashing inspection for your Markham home, and remember that work confirmed in the 72 hours after it is 10% off.

Metal thickness the code sets

Florida's residential code requires flashing at wall and roof intersections and around roof openings, in section R903.2.1, and Table R903.2.1 sets minimum thicknesses for each flashing metal, from copper and aluminum to stainless and galvanized steel. Thin, soft offcuts bent by hand may not meet it.

We use flashing stock that meets the table for the metal chosen, and we will tell you what it is. Book a free flashing inspection for your Markham home and see the material on the estimate.

Flashing that runs unbroken

On this point the Brick Industry Association is blunt. Flashing that stops short is little better than none, and flashing must be continuous, with any bends or breaks completely sealed. A single missing step piece or an unsealed splice creates a path for water that the rest of the flashing cannot close.

We follow the flashing all the way around the chimney and repair every break we find. Call (645) 465-4122 to book a free inspection in Markham with our family-owned team.

Timing flashing work with a new roof

Reroofing is the easiest moment to redo chimney flashing, since the shingles around the chimney are already being stripped. Settle beforehand who replaces the step and counter flashing, whether any old metal is reused and who seals the finished junction.

We can coordinate directly with your roofer so the sequence works. Tell our family-owned team your roofing date in Markham and we will plan around it, starting with a free inspection.

What a full reflash involves

A full chimney reflash usually means lifting the roofing around the chimney, removing the old apron, steps, back flashing and counter flashing, cleaning and cutting the reglet, then installing new base flashing, steps and counter flashing in order before the roofing goes back down.

Every step and its price is on the written estimate before we begin. Book with our local team within 72 hours of your Markham inspection and 10% comes off, with our 100% satisfaction guarantee on the finished flashing.
