Mobile Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Mobile, AL for residential and commercial properties across the central Gulf Coast. A chimney is a masonry wall standing in the middle of a roof, and masonry holds water. On the Gulf Coast that combination produces more chronic, hard-to-find leaks than any other single feature on a house.
Correct flashing is four separate pieces working together: an apron at the downslope face, step flashing interleaved course by course up both sides, counterflashing let into a cut reglet in the mortar joint, and a saddle at the upslope side. One bent sheet of aluminum caulked against the brick is not flashing, whatever the last invoice called it, and we see that exact detail on perhaps a third of the chimneys we inspect.
Look at the upslope face of a wide chimney after a wet September and you can read what happened. Pine straw banks against the brick, runoff backs up behind it, and the masonry sits in standing water for hours until it wicks through to the inside face. A framed cricket behind the stack divides that flow before it ever arrives, which is why we build one on any chimney past roughly two and a half feet of width.
We cut counterflashing into the mortar joint rather than face-sealing it to the brick. Surface-applied counterflashing relies entirely on a sealant bead adhering to a porous, moving masonry face through fifteen years of thermal cycling. It always lets go eventually, and when it does the water is already inside the wall before it ever reaches the roof plane.
The masonry itself gets checked on the same visit. An open crown, a missing rain cap, spalled brick or a failed mortar joint will feed water down the flue and out through a ceiling several feet away from the chimney, and no amount of flashing work above the roofline will fix any of it. We will tell you when the leak is the chimney rather than the roof.
On a reroof, chimney flashing is replaced, never reused. Old step flashing has holes where the previous nails were, the metal is fatigued at the bends, and reusing it to save an hour is exactly how a new roof develops an old leak. It is a small line item on the estimate and not one we let customers decline, because the callback lands on our warranty rather than on the previous roofer's.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, sealed roof decks with taped panel seams, open 26-gauge W-valley metal, kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall terminations, six-inch K-style aluminum gutter with three-by-four downspouts, ring-shank fasteners at six and twelve inch spacing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Mobile and nearby communities including Prichard, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, Daphne.

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 ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, sealed roof decks with taped panel seams, open 26-gauge W-valley metal, kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall terminations, 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 Mobile 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 central Gulf Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Mobile Chooses Mobile Roof Pros
- ✓Gutters and downspouts are sized from the roof's drainage area, not copied from what was on the house before
- ✓Open 26-gauge metal valleys are standard, because a closed-cut valley asks a shingle lap to carry two planes of runoff
- ✓Every proposal names the underlayment by ASTM standard and coverage area, not just the shingle brand
- ✓Kick-out flashing goes on at every roof-to-wall termination, including the ones a previous roofer sealed over
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Mobile 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.
Every chimney flashing project in Mobile gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
