Plainview Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Plainview, TX for residential and commercial properties across the northern Llano Estacado. A chimney is a heavy masonry column standing on ground that moves, passing through a roof that does not move with it. That fact sits behind most chimney leaks in this town, and it is why flashing here is a movement detail rather than a waterproofing one.
The soil does the work. Clay under a slab swells and shrinks with each wetting cycle, and a chimney footing rarely sits on exactly the same conditions as the rest of the house, particularly when a downspout has been emptying nearby for twenty years. The stack tips a fraction of a degree, the roof stays where it is, and any flashing that was bedded rigidly in mastic tears open along its top edge.
So we build the joint to tolerate a little movement. Step flashing woven into the shingle courses, and separate counterflashing let into a cut in the mortar joint above it, wedged and sealed rather than nailed through the face of the brick. Two pieces that overlap can slide a little against each other. One piece glued to both surfaces cannot, and it is the version we take off most often.
The upslope face needs a cricket once the stack is wider than about thirty inches, and plenty of chimneys around here never got one. Without it the back of the chimney is a dam across the slope, catching water and everything the wind brings with it, and the debris that collects there holds moisture against the masonry long after the roof has dried.
Often the masonry is the actual fault. A split crown, spalled face brick or open joints let water into the stack from above; it runs down inside and shows at the ceiling in a way nobody can tell apart from bad metal. So the crown and the mortar get inspected first. Replacing flashing under a chimney that leaks through its own top is money burned.
Metal chimney chases on newer houses get a different treatment: a chase cover with a cross break and hemmed edges, not the flat pan that came with it, since a flat pan holds water and rusts through at the seam. That is a short job on a ladder, worth doing before the ceiling tells you about it, and we fabricate the cover rather than ordering a stock pan that nearly fits.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — tapered polyisocyanurate crickets between roof drains, overflow scuppers set two inches above the low point, standing water measured forty-eight hours after rainfall, silicone restoration membrane over ponding areas, sumped drain bowls with clamping rings and strainers, butyl seam tape closing exposed-fastener side laps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Plainview and nearby communities including Hale Center, Abernathy, Petersburg, Seth Ward.

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 tapered polyisocyanurate crickets between roof drains, overflow scuppers set two inches above the low point, standing water measured forty-eight hours after rainfall, silicone restoration membrane over ponding areas, 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 Plainview 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 northern Llano Estacado means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Plainview Chooses Plainview Roof Pros
- ✓We price a roof around where its water ends up, because in a county with no creeks the runoff stays on your lot until it soaks in or evaporates
- ✓Every low-slope quote reports standing water measured forty-eight hours after rain, not a guess made on a dry afternoon with a tape measure
- ✓We will not put acrylic coating anywhere water stands, and we say so before you ask, because the product simply does not survive immersion
- ✓Tile gets argued against on almost every house in town, since the framing here was sized for shingles and the underlayment is doing the waterproofing anyway
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Plainview follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
