Problems We Fix

How we stop water at the roofline in Woodruff Springs

Sealant that belongs in a flashing joint

Sealant has a real place in a flashing detail, at the reglet and at laps, but the type matters. The Brick Industry Association recommends a good grade of polysulfide, butyl or silicone rubber sealant in chimney joints, never an oil-based one, with proper priming and backing.

We use sealant where the detail calls for it and rely on metal everywhere else. Our local team explains the difference on site in Woodruff Springs, and the written price comes before any work, with no hidden fees.

What the attic shows

If there is attic access near the chimney, it is one of the most useful places to look. Darkened roof decking, stained rafters or wet insulation beside the chimney show where water has been getting past the flashing and how far it has spread. Dry wood there after heavy rain is useful evidence too.

With your permission we check the attic during the free inspection in Woodruff Springs. Damaged decking or framing is noted separately, so you know what is chimney work and what is roof or interior repair.

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 Woodruff Springs and we will plan around it, starting with a free inspection.

Protecting roof tiles during the work

Concrete and clay tiles can crack under a careless step, and tiles lifted to reach the flashing have to go back the way they came off. We plan a walking path, lift only the tiles the job needs and set them aside carefully. Any tile that is already broken is pointed out before work starts.

Matching replacement tiles can take time to source, so we discuss that up front. Upfront pricing and our satisfaction guarantee apply to every tile roof we work on in Woodruff Springs.

How the flashing estimate is written

The estimate separates the flashing metal, the reglet and mortar work, any roofing lifted and relaid, and any separate repairs such as the chimney top or the brick above. That makes it easy to see what stops the leak and what is optional.

If something hidden turns up once the old flashing is off, we stop and explain it before continuing. Every flashing job in Woodruff Springs gets upfront pricing from our local team, and the first visit is free.
