We replace chimney caps, stucco, wood, stone or brick on roof chimneys. Florida weather allows for extreme expansion and contraction resulting in material cracks and damage. Stucco, mortar or wood expands and contracts, causing it to chip, pop or loosen.
If there are cracks in the chimney, rain can seep in to your home and create wet spots that produce an environment perfect for the spores that cause rot and mold to grow as well as an inviting habitat for termites.
If there are holes or tears in the flashing or chunks of the masonry are missing, it requires a chimney repair, call CERTIFIED QUALITY ROOFING to repair the damage before it become a major costly repair.
Roof leaks can cause significant damage to your home over time especially if not addressed. Water can damage the roof decking (attic ceiling) below the roof. Leaks around chimneys are one of the most common types of roof leaks that homeowners face. Florida weather allows for extreme expansion and contraction resulting in material cracks and damage. Stucco, mortar or wood expands and contracts, causing it to chip, pop, crack or separate. Flashing that waterproofs a chimney can loosen permitting water to enter.
