Amarillo Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Amarillo, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Texas Panhandle. Chimneys leak more often than any other penetration on a roof, and rarely because the flashing rusted through. They leak because the flashing was surface-mounted and held on with sealant, which has a service life of a few years in this climate rather than the life of the roof.
Done correctly the flashing is two separate pieces. Step flashing is woven into the shingle courses up each side, one piece per course, so water always crosses a lap in the right direction. Counterflashing is then let into a mortar joint, bent down over the step, and the joint sealed with a compatible sealant. The masonry holds the metal, not the caulk. Reglet-cut counterflashing is better still where the brick allows it.
Behind a wide chimney you need a cricket, a small framed peak that splits water and snow around the stack instead of letting it dam against the back wall. The residential code requires one on any chimney wider than thirty inches, and it gets skipped constantly. A back-pan with a bead of sealant across a four-foot chimney is a leak with a date on it.
Wind matters here as much as water volume. Driven rain arrives at a chimney sideways, so counterflashing relying on a surface bead has pressure behind it rather than gravity alone, and a saddle detail that would shed a vertical soaker will pass a squall line straight through. We build head and cricket details for driven rain, not for drizzle. That means a wider counterflashing lap and a sealed head joint rather than an open hem.
The flashing is often not the leak at all. A cracked concrete crown, an open mortar joint, a missing rain cap or spalled brick will each put water into a chase and out at a ceiling, and no amount of flashing work fixes any of them. We check the crown, the cap and the joints before quoting metal, and say plainly when the problem is masonry.
A good number of Amarillo houses have chimneys nobody uses. If yours is decommissioned, removing it to the roof line and sheathing over the opening permanently ends the leak, the maintenance and the uplift target, and it usually costs less than rebuilding a crown and reflashing around it. We will price both and let you choose. Most people who hear the two numbers choose removal.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, ASTM D7158 Class H wind ratings, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, 24-gauge standing-seam steel with concealed clips, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, six-nail enhanced fastening patterns — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Amarillo and nearby communities including Pampa, Hereford, Canyon, Dumas.

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 UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, ASTM D7158 Class H wind ratings, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, 24-gauge standing-seam steel with concealed clips, 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 Amarillo 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 Texas Panhandle means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
