Our Flashing Process
On existing stone chimneys, Long Island Roofing & Siding’s flashing process beings by wrapping the base of the chimney in ice shield. We then install copper step flashing on every shingle, making the chimney waterproof from the roof level. Then we install a cap piece of copper. To do this we take a masonry grinder to cut a slit in the chimney, where we then slip our cap piece into. The existing slit then gets sealed with a masonry adhesive. This makes the step flashing water proof from "above", while also giving a beautiful finished look.
For Chimney Housing Units
For Chimney Housing Units Long Island Roofing & Siding removes your old chimney housing, seam out all the shingles around your chimney. Next, we install ice shield around the chimney perimeter. Then we are ready to install the new chimney kit.
The first step is the base flashing, which is the most important as this is where most leaks occur. The base flashing is made of stainless steel. Once the flashing is secured to the roof decking, we reinstall shingles around your chimney. At that point we are ready to finish your chimney with the base kit as well as the stainless steel top.
