Brandon Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Brandon, FL for residential and commercial properties across eastern Hillsborough County. Chimneys are uncommon in Brandon, and that is precisely the problem. On a house whose roof has already been replaced twice, the chimney flashing is frequently the one detail nobody rebuilt properly either time, because the crew on site that day had simply never seen one before.
What we find instead is a bead of sealant where step flashing belongs. Sealant used on its own at a masonry-to-shingle transition has a service life measured in a couple of years at the very best, and every one of those roofs is leaking into the framing beside the chimney long before anything appears on a ceiling below. By the time it shows, the damage is structural rather than cosmetic.
Done correctly it is four separate pieces of metal working together. Step flashing woven into the shingle courses up both sides, a pan at the front, a saddle or cricket at the back, and counterflashing let into a cut reglet in the masonry and sealed there. Counterflashing surface-mounted to brick with caulk is not counterflashing at all. It is a caulk joint on a wall that moves seasonally.
A cricket is needed behind any chimney wide enough to hold water against it, and thirty inches is the common threshold used in practice. Without one, debris and standing water sit against the back wall through every storm season we get. We build crickets in framing and sheathe them rather than forming them out of metal, because a framed cricket keeps its slope and a formed one flattens.
This detail matters to your insurance file out of all proportion to its physical size. Chimney leaks produce interior water damage claims, and interior water damage claims get read by underwriters as maintenance failures rather than as storm losses. One properly rebuilt flashing detail costs considerably less than one denied interior claim followed a few months later by a non-renewal letter you cannot appeal.
We also flash the other things people call chimneys: gas appliance flues, B-vents, and fireplace chases framed in wood and clad in siding. A chase is not masonry and does not get masonry detailing. It needs a proper cap with a drip edge and a kick to throw water clear of the cladding, and the cap is where very nearly all of them eventually fail.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered polymer-modified bitumen deck seam tape, ASTM D226 Type II No. 30 felt underlayment, plastic cap-nailed synthetic underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing, six-nail architectural shingle fastening, 26-gauge aluminum drip edge and rake metal — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Brandon and nearby communities including Valrico, Bloomingdale, Seffner, Riverview.

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 self-adhered polymer-modified bitumen deck seam tape, ASTM D226 Type II No. 30 felt underlayment, plastic cap-nailed synthetic underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing, 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 Brandon 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 eastern Hillsborough County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

- ✓We walk every slope and lift tabs by hand at rakes and hips — no roof is assessed from the driveway or from a drone alone.
