Sanford Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Sanford, FL for residential and commercial properties across Seminole County and the north Orlando metro. A masonry chimney is the tallest, wettest, most isolated object on a house, which makes it the classic strike point and the classic leak point at the same time. On a Sanford roof it is the first thing we look at and usually the first thing we find fault with.
The leak is nearly always the flashing, not the brickwork. One piece of step flashing per shingle course, woven in and turned up the masonry, with a separate counterflashing let into a cut reglet and sealed over it. What turns up instead, again and again, is a bead of roof cement smeared across the joint by somebody in a hurry, and here that lasts about three summers.
On the up-slope side of a wide chimney we build a cricket rather than relying on flashing to hold back a river. Anything wider than about thirty inches across the slope collects water and debris behind it, and a framed and sheathed saddle sends that water around the stack instead of into the joint. Anything narrower gets a properly soldered or riveted back pan instead, which is a smaller detail but no less deliberate.
Strike damage on a chimney is distinctive and we photograph it carefully. Current entering masonry flashes any moisture in the brick and mortar to steam, which spalls faces off bricks and cracks the crown outward from the flue. That is a mason's repair rather than a roofer's, but it changes the flashing scope because everything we tie into has moved.
Crowns and caps are the maintenance items nobody looks at. A concrete crown that has hairline-cracked will feed water down inside the stack where no flashing can reach it, and a missing spark cap lets rain straight into the flue. Both are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore. We check both from the roof on every inspection and photograph them, because from the ground a cracked crown and a sound one look the same.
If the chimney is decommissioned and you have no intention of using it, say so early. Taking a dead stack down below the roof line and framing a proper infill is often less money than reflashing and rebuilding it, and it removes the leak and the strike target in one job. We will price both options side by side and let you choose rather than steering you toward the larger one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — fused strike entry point in a laminated shingle field, bonding of roof metal to the building grounding electrode system, NFPA 780 three-sixteenths-inch metal thickness threshold, detach and reset of a certified lightning protection system, 8d ring-shank roof deck re-nailing, high-temperature self-adhered tile underlayment over an eave riser — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Sanford and nearby communities including Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs, Oviedo.

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 fused strike entry point in a laminated shingle field, bonding of roof metal to the building grounding electrode system, NFPA 780 three-sixteenths-inch metal thickness threshold, detach and reset of a certified lightning protection system, 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 Sanford 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 Seminole County and the north Orlando metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
