Hampton Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Hampton, VA for residential and commercial properties across Hampton Roads. Chimneys leak more often than any other penetration on a Hampton roof, and it is almost never the chimney. It is the joint between masonry and roofing, built by two trades that were rarely on site at the same time.
Correct flashing at a chimney is four separate pieces doing four separate jobs. An apron at the low side, step flashing woven into each shingle course up both sides, a head flashing or a cricket at the high side, and counterflashing cut into a mortar joint and folded down over all of it. Miss any one and you have a leak with a season's delay built in.
Counterflashing is where local work goes wrong most often. On the brick chimneys in Phoebus, Wythe and the older blocks off King Street, the method is to grind a reglet into a mortar joint, set the metal into it, wedge it and seal. What we find instead is metal surface-nailed to the brick face with a bead of caulk along the top. That holds until the caulk shrinks, and then water runs behind everything.
Crickets are the other omission, and they matter here specifically because of how much rain arrives at once. Any chimney wider than about thirty inches needs a saddle built on the upslope side to split the water and send it around. Without one, the high side becomes a dam, debris collects behind it, and the assembly stays wet between storms instead of drying out.
We use lead or lead-coated copper on chimney work whenever the budget allows, because lead dresses into irregular old brick in a way aluminum simply cannot, and it does not react with the masonry it sits against. Galvanized steel held against damp brick and mortar starts a slow corrosion problem that will outlast our workmanship warranty and turn into somebody else's mystery leak a decade from now.
While we are up there we look at the crown and the cap as well, since a cracked crown drops water straight into the stack and produces interior staining that looks exactly like a flashing failure. We will tell you which of the two you actually have, even when the honest answer is that you need a mason and not a roofer. Sending you to the right trade costs us one job and saves you two.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — synthetic underlayment, self-adhered leak barrier, starter strip, hip and ridge cap, drip edge, woven step flashing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hampton and nearby communities including Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg, Bethel Manor.

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, self-adhered leak barrier, starter strip, hip and ridge cap, 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 Hampton 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 Hampton Roads means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
