Stephenville Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Stephenville, TX for residential and commercial properties across Erath County and the Western Cross Timbers. This county has a lot of chimneys that no longer carry any smoke. They stand on farmhouses that moved to central heat decades ago, and an unused chimney still has to be flashed properly, because water does not care whether anybody burns wood.
On a shingle roof the correct detail comes in two parts. Step flashing set into every shingle course on each side, then counter-flashing dropped into a reglet cut in the mortar joint above. What we normally find instead is one L-shaped piece caulked against the brick. Caulk has a service life measured in a few years. A reglet has decades. One of those is a repair. The other is only a delay.
On a metal roof that same chimney needs a completely different answer. Panels move with temperature and masonry does not, so the flashing has to permit that movement: an oversized base, a formed diverter above the chimney, and counter-flashing lapping loose over the top of it. Screwing a rigid pan tight to both the sheet and the brick guarantees a tear. We have taken more than one torn pan off a roof out here.
Anything wider than about thirty inches across the slope wants a cricket behind it. Without one, water and debris pile against the upslope face, sit there and work into the joint. Around here that debris is oak leaf and cedar litter, which holds moisture for days after the rain has stopped, and that is what rots the deck at the back corner. A cricket is cheap while the roof is open and dear afterwards.
We will also tell you when the flashing is not the problem at all. Soft mortar, a cracked crown or a spalling top course on a hundred-year-old chimney means water is coming through the masonry itself, and no flashing detail anywhere fixes that. That is masonry work. Naming it costs us the job and saves you a flashing that was never going to help.
If the chimney is dead, decommissioned and structurally tired, the cheapest honest answer is often to take it down to the deck line and close the roof over the opening. You lose the look, which is a real loss. You also lose the single most reliable leak on a nineteenth-century farmhouse and stop paying for it every eight years. That is a real option, and people are often relieved to hear it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — exposed-fastener R-panel over open purlins, oversize number twelve screws with bonded washers, butyl tape worked into end laps, formed eave and ridge closure strips, painted coil systems over bare aluminum-zinc coating, anti-condensation membrane laminated to panel undersides — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Stephenville and nearby communities including Dublin, Hico, Comanche, De Leon.

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 exposed-fastener R-panel over open purlins, oversize number twelve screws with bonded washers, butyl tape worked into end laps, formed eave and ridge closure strips, 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 Stephenville 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 Erath County and the Western Cross Timbers means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Stephenville Chooses Stephenville Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the fastener schedule and edge detail as separate lines, because on open ground those decide the roof's life far more than the brand of shingle does.
- ✓We will not put bare Galvalume over animals. The mill warranty excludes animal waste and interior condensates, and we can show you the clause before you sign anything at all.
- ✓Screw change-outs are quoted before coatings on agricultural steel, because oversize fasteners with fresh bonded washers fix the actual leak for a fraction of a coating system's price.
- ✓Every hail conversation starts with your declarations page, because form HO-145 quietly removes cosmetic dents from cover on any policy taking the impact-resistant premium credit.
