Nacogdoches Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Nacogdoches, TX for residential and commercial properties across Deep East Texas. Chimneys leak more than any other penetration on an East Texas roof, and never where the homeowner thinks. It starts above the chimney, on the uphill side, where nothing moves the water around it. That is a design problem rather than a maintenance one.
Measure the stack across the slope. Past thirty inches the code has wanted a saddle behind it for years, a little framed peak that divides the water and runs it off to either side. Most houses in this county never got one, so what sits behind the brick is a flat apron of shingles holding a puddle against the mortar. Mortar loses that argument.
Doing it right takes two layers of metal with two separate jobs. The step pieces go in as the courses go on, one to a course, climbing the sides. Above them a second layer is cut into a brick joint and turned down over the steps, so water coming down the wall gets handed onto the roof and not behind it. What we find instead is a tube of sealant.
The repair we get called for is a chimney that has been sealed and resealed. Somebody ran a bead of mastic where the brick meets the shingle, it held for two summers, and it now hides the fact that the sheathing under the shelf has gone soft. So we open it. The framing around a chimney opening is the first thing to rot on these houses, and it is the most expensive framing on the roof to replace.
Masonry itself gets a look while we are there. A split crown, open joints in the last few courses, or no cap at all will keep the stack soaking from the top down, and no flashing job fixes that. We do the metal work; for rebuilding a crown or repointing brick we will tell you what needs doing and who does that work properly. Quoting trades we do not perform is how people get hurt.
Every other penetration gets the same treatment on our jobs: pipe boots replaced rather than reused, because the collar is the part that splits and it costs almost nothing; furnace and water heater flues fitted with proper storm collars; and satellite mounts that were lagged straight through the deck taken off and patched. We photograph each one on the way off the roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — back-primed fascia board sealed on all six faces including the cut ends, rafter tail ends cut back to sound wood and sistered, hidden gutter hangers screwed through the trough into solid sub-fascia, vented soffit panel carrying a published net free area figure, hemmed eave drip edge run under the first course of underlayment, awl-probe soundings taken along the full length of the eave — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Nacogdoches and nearby communities including Lufkin, Crockett, Center, Hudson.

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 back-primed fascia board sealed on all six faces including the cut ends, rafter tail ends cut back to sound wood and sistered, hidden gutter hangers screwed through the trough into solid sub-fascia, vented soffit panel carrying a published net free area figure, 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 Nacogdoches 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 Deep East Texas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Nacogdoches Chooses Nacogdoches Roof Pros
- ✓We open the eave before we quote. Every proposal carries a per-foot rate for fascia and rafter-tail repair with a written cap, so the wood is never a surprise.
- ✓We will not wrap aluminum coil over a fascia board we have not probed, which happens to be the most profitable single thing a roofer can sell in this county.
- ✓Moisture scan and a core cut before any coating or recover. If the deck reads wet we tear off, explain why, and give you the sample to look at.
- ✓Maintenance and storm damage go onto separate documents, so a claim file never mixes five years of decay with fifteen minutes of wind and loses both.
