Waco Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Waco, TX for residential and commercial properties across Central Texas. Chimneys leak more often than any other part of a Waco roof, and the reason is a shortcut that appears in almost every claim scope. The estimate says reflash chimney. What that usually buys is caulk over the old metal, and caulk is not a flashing system.
A chimney needs three separate pieces working together. Step flashing woven into each shingle course up both sides, an apron at the front, and counterflashing that is cut into a mortar joint and folded down over the step flashing. That reglet cut is the part that gets skipped, because grinding a groove into masonry takes time and a line item nobody wrote. That groove is the difference between a repair and a delay.
Face-sealed flashing is the failure we open up most. Someone bedded the metal in sealant against the brick and called it done, and three Texas summers later the sealant has shrunk and cracked and water runs behind the metal into the framing. It looks fine from the ground for years while the deck around the chimney quietly turns dark and soft. By the time it shows inside, the framing is usually involved.
Crickets are the other omission. Any chimney wide enough to hold water on its uphill side needs a small framed saddle to divert runoff around it, and code sets that threshold by width. Without a cricket, debris and water pile against the back of the masonry and the flashing fails at the one point where it is hardest to inspect and most expensive to repair.
So we scope what the repair actually requires, and we back it up. Photographs of the sealant joint, the missing cricket and the staining on the sheathing, the code reference for the saddle, and a written line item for grinding and setting counterflashing rather than a lump allowance. Supplemented that way, carriers pay it; described as reflash, it gets paid at a fraction and done badly.
While the flashing is open we look at everything else on the stack. A rusted chase cover on a framed chimney, cracked crown mortar, a missing storm collar, or a rain cap that has blown off all put water into the same place, and none of them are roof problems in the scope sense. We will tell you which ones we handle and which need a mason.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at valleys, 26-gauge standing seam panels, modified bitumen cap sheet, TPO single-ply membrane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Waco and nearby communities including Hewitt, Robinson, Bellmead, Woodway.

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 architectural laminate shingles, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at valleys, 26-gauge standing seam panels, 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 Waco 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 Central Texas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
