Fort Lauderdale Chimney Flashing Residential & Commercial

Chimney Flashing in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Fort Lauderdale Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. Flashing is the one detail a city inspector can actually see. It goes in before the covering and gets looked at at dry-in, which makes it the honest test of whether a roof was built or merely finished. It is also where most Fort Lauderdale roof leaks start.

Done properly, a chimney gets step flashing woven course by course into the roof on the sloped sides, an apron at the low side, and counterflashing let into a cut reglet in the masonry so water running down the wall is thrown out over the step flashing. Done cheaply, it gets a bead of sealant where the two materials meet, which is not flashing at all — it is a maintenance item pretending to be a detail.

We do not reuse old flashing on a reroof, and we will not quote it that way. Metal that has spent twenty years in salt air and ultraviolet has thinned at the folds even where it looks intact, and the whole point of tearing off is to rebuild the parts nobody can reach afterwards. Reusing flashing saves a few hundred dollars and puts the failure back exactly where it was.

A wide chimney on the upslope side needs a cricket — a small framed and flashed ridge that splits water around the stack rather than letting it pond against masonry. On anything over roughly thirty inches of upslope width, code expects one, and on tile roofs the cricket has to be built high enough to work under the covering rather than tucked beneath it as an afterthought.

Almost everything above applies to any wall-to-roof junction, not just chimneys: a second-story wall landing on a lower roof, a parapet, a chase around a flue, a skylight curb. Add a kickout at the bottom of every such junction so water is thrown into the gutter instead of behind the cladding, because that missing piece of metal rots more walls here than anything else.

If your only symptom is a stain near a chimney, get it flashed rather than sealed. A reflash is a day's work on a sound roof and it lasts as long as the covering; sealant will bring you back next summer, and the summer after that, and by the third visit you will have paid for the flashing twice over without ever having had it.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Miami-Dade NOA-approved assemblies, ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing, TAS 100(A) rated ridge vents, 26-gauge Galvalume standing seam panels, stainless steel tile fasteners — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Lauderdale and nearby communities including Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Miramar.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing

The difference between chimney flashing that lasts and chimney flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Miami-Dade NOA-approved assemblies, ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing, TAS 100(A) rated ridge vents, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.

Every Fort Lauderdale job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Chimney Flashing in Fort Lauderdale: Common Questions

How much does chimney flashing cost in Fort Lauderdale, FL?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — Miami-Dade NOA-approved assemblies, ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing. We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess. We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How long does a chimney flashing job take?

Most residential chimney flashing work in Fort Lauderdale runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Larger commercial jobs get phased so the property keeps operating. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Fort Lauderdale building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Fort Lauderdale Roof Pros licensed and insured?

Licensed and insured Florida roofing contractor. Fully insured and bonded. Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association member. Every chimney flashing job carries a written workmanship warranty. Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial roofing work as well as residential?

Both. Fort Lauderdale Roof Pros runs residential chimney flashing across Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods and commercial work for offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA properties throughout Broward County. Commercial jobs get phased scheduling and off-hours crews so tenants and customers are not shut out while the work happens.
