Tyler Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Tyler, TX for residential and commercial properties across Northeast Texas. A chimney causes more roof leaks in Tyler than any other single detail, and the fix is almost never sealant. Flashing is a mechanical assembly of overlapping metal, and once somebody has replaced it with a tube of caulk, you are on an annual maintenance plan nobody told you about.
A correct chimney flashing has four parts. Step flashing laces up each side, one piece per shingle course, tucked under the course above. A base or apron piece handles the downhill face. A back pan handles the uphill face. Then counterflashing let into a saw-cut reglet in the mortar joint laps over all of it and is wedged and sealed, so the water plane is metal over metal rather than caulk over brick.
The cricket is the piece most often missing. The residential code requires a saddle or cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than thirty inches measured across the slope, and on a wide masonry chimney in East Texas without one, water and pine litter pile against the back and sit there. Every chimney leak we open on a wide stack in this region has a rotted back pan, and usually rotted decking behind it.
Masonry itself leaks more often than people expect. A cracked crown, missing cap, spalling brick from freeze cycles, or open mortar joints will let water into the chase and it will appear in the ceiling exactly like a flashing failure. We check the crown and the joints before we touch the flashing, because replacing metal under a leaking crown fixes nothing and bills you anyway.
Prefabricated metal chimney chases have their own version of this. The chase cover is usually galvanized steel that rusts through in fifteen to twenty years and then ponds water at the seams. A stainless or aluminum replacement with a proper cross-break to shed water and a drip edge is a one-time repair rather than a recurring one.
This is also a job where reroof sequencing saves you real money. New flashing goes in with the new shingles. Reusing old step flashing to save two hundred dollars on a full replacement is the most common false economy in the trade, and since Texas requires no license and inspects no residential reroof outside a city limit, nobody but your contractor will ever mention it.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — synthetic underlayment fastened with capped ring-shank nails, six-nail high-wind shingle fastening patterns, pre-formed W-style open valley metal, step flashing woven course by course into the sidewall, counterflashing let into a saw-cut reglet, kick-out diverters at the roof-to-wall termination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tyler and nearby communities including Whitehouse, Lindale, Bullard, Hideaway.

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 synthetic underlayment fastened with capped ring-shank nails, six-nail high-wind shingle fastening patterns, pre-formed W-style open valley metal, step flashing woven course by course into the sidewall, 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 Tyler 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 Northeast Texas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tyler Chooses Tyler Roof Pros
- ✓We put the two numbers that cause every mid-job argument into the contract up front: dollars per sheet of replaced decking and dollars per linear foot of replaced fascia.
- ✓Our inspections are paid and the report is yours, because a free inspection is a sales call and the person who finds damage is the person who sells the roof.
- ✓We will not offer to cover your deductible, and we will tell you why: Texas Business and Commerce Code 27.02 makes that a Class B misdemeanor.
- ✓We do not touch your claim negotiation. Texas Insurance Code 4102.163 forbids it for any contractor doing the work, so we give you evidence and you keep control.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
