Tallahassee Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Tallahassee, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Big Bend and Red Hills. A chimney is a hole in your roof with a wall around it, and it leaks for reasons that have nothing to do with shingle age. In this city it is also a rigid mass sitting where limbs land, which adds a failure mode most roofers do not check for.
Correct flashing is four pieces working together, not one. Step flashing woven into each shingle course up both sides, a base or apron flashing across the downslope face, a head flashing at the top, and counterflashing let into a mortar-joint reglet and sealed with a compatible sealant. Anything relying on a bead of caulk against brick is a temporary measure being sold as a repair. Sealant is a wear item and gets renewed, not relied upon.
The cricket is the piece people skip and the one that matters most here. Any chimney wider than about thirty inches across the slope needs a saddle framed behind it to divert water around the stack. Without one, the upslope face becomes a shelf, and in Tallahassee that shelf collects oak leaves and pine straw that hold water against the masonry for days after the rain stops.
Impact is the local addition. A limb landing near a chimney does not usually crack the masonry, but it can shift the counterflashing out of the reglet or crush the chase cover on a framed chase. We check both after any tree event, and we check the chase cover's crown and seams because a flat cover that has been dented now ponds and rusts through. A dented chase cover is a fifteen-minute check from a ladder.
Masonry itself has to be sound before flashing means anything. Deteriorated mortar joints and a cracked or missing crown will pass water down the flue and into the ceiling below regardless of what we do at the roof line. When that is the problem we say so and bring in a mason rather than sell you flashing that cannot fix it.
Our practice on a reroof is to replace all four flashing components rather than reuse any of them. Old step flashing has nail holes in the wrong places for the new course layout, and reusing it is the single most common cause of a leak that shows up three months after a new roof. We photograph each piece as it goes in, in order.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — plank decking, self-adhered ice-and-water membrane, ring-shank roofing nails, laminated architectural shingles, 24-gauge standing seam panel, closed-cut valley — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tallahassee and nearby communities including Quincy, Midway, Chattahoochee, Gretna.

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 plank decking, self-adhered ice-and-water membrane, ring-shank roofing nails, laminated architectural shingles, 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 Tallahassee 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 the Big Bend and Red Hills means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
