Burlington Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Burlington, NC for residential and commercial properties across Alamance County and the central Piedmont. Chimneys leak more than anything else on a roof, and in Burlington the specific reason is nearly always that the counter-flashing was caulked onto the face of the brick instead of being cut into it. Sealant on masonry has a service life measured in seasons.
Done properly, a reglet is ground into a mortar joint, the counter-flashing is bent and let into that groove, wedged in place with lead, and sealed only along its top edge. Step flashing goes underneath, one piece per shingle course, woven with the courses as they are laid rather than run up the side as one long continuous bent strip of coil stock.
The winter version of this failure is worth understanding before you pay to fix it twice. Meltwater running down a cold masonry face refreezes at the shingle line and works into any joint that has opened. Brick and metal move at different rates through a freeze cycle, and that differential movement is exactly what tears a caulk joint and leaves flashing standing proud of the wall.
Wide chimneys on a back slope need a cricket. Anything much over thirty inches across collects debris and ice on its uphill side and holds it there all winter, and a saddle framed and flashed behind it moves water and slush around both sides instead of letting it pond against the brick. Code has required them at that width for a very long time and we build them from framing rather than bending one out of flat stock.
The framed chase chimneys common on houses built here in the seventies and eighties are a different animal entirely. Those are wood boxes with a sheet metal cap on top, and the usual failure is the cap seam or the siding termination rather than anything happening at the roof line. We check the cap and the chase corners first on those before touching the flashing.
We do flashing work, not chimney rebuilding, and we are clear about the boundary. Where a crown has split, the brick face is shedding badly, or the liner is finished, we say so plainly and recommend a mason you can call, because reflashing sound metal to a chimney that is coming apart is money spent in entirely the wrong order. We will happily come back and flash it once the masonry work is finished.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — spike-and-ferrule hangers pulled through by glaze weight, hidden hangers screwed on twenty-four inch centers, five-quarter primed fascia stock back-primed on six faces, 0.032 aluminum drip edge lapped over the underlayment, eave protection membrane run well up the deck at the overhang, ring-shank nails set flush in the marked nail zone — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Burlington and nearby communities including Graham, Mebane, Elon, Gibsonville.

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 spike-and-ferrule hangers pulled through by glaze weight, hidden hangers screwed on twenty-four inch centers, five-quarter primed fascia stock back-primed on six faces, 0.032 aluminum drip edge lapped over the underlayment, 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 Burlington 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 Alamance County and the central Piedmont means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
