New Braunfels Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in New Braunfels, TX for residential and commercial properties across the southern Hill Country. More of our leak calls trace back to a chimney than to anything else on a roof, usually because somebody sealed a joint instead of flashing it. Caulk spans a gap. Flashing sheds water. On a masonry chimney moving against a roof, the two have nothing in common.
A correct assembly has three parts. Base flashing across the front, step flashing woven up both sides one piece per course, and counterflashing cut into a mortar joint, folded and locked over the top of the base. The counterflashing is what lets chimney and roof travel independently without opening a path for water. Skip any one of the three and the assembly is decorative. Aluminum, lead-coated copper and galvanized all work; the geometry is what matters.
Limestone chimneys on the older homes here make that harder and more worth doing. Irregular stone offers no straight mortar joint to cut, so we step the reglet, use soft metal that can be dressed into the face of the stone, and take our time. A surface-mounted counterflashing screwed to rock and caulked will not survive five summers. Lime mortar on the oldest chimneys needs a gentler reglet than a diamond blade at full depth.
A cricket goes behind any chimney wider than thirty inches. Without one the upslope side collects water, leaves and cedar debris in a pocket that stays damp, and that is where mortar and flashing both give out first. We frame the cricket, sheath it and treat it as a small roof in its own right, instead of bending one sheet over the whole thing. Cedar debris in that pocket is the local variable, and it arrives every winter.
On a metal roof the entire detail is fabricated. There is no step flashing on a panel roof; the chimney gets a pan formed from the roof coil, the upslope leg carried high with a diverter, and the panel cut and hemmed around it. Nobody stocks that part, which is why chimney details on panel roofs are so often improvised badly. Sealant belongs inside a fold in that detail, never as the outermost layer.
We look at the masonry while we are up there, because roofing will not fix it. Crown cracks, a missing chase cover, a rain cap rusted through, or open mortar joints let water into the chimney itself and it shows at the ceiling exactly like a flashing leak. We tell you which one you have before quoting either. A chase cover in the wrong metal will streak your stone within two seasons.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, butyl tape sidelap sealant — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Braunfels and nearby communities including Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Schertz.

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 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, 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 New Braunfels 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 southern Hill Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
