Norman Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Norman, OK for residential and commercial properties across central Oklahoma. No other penetration on a Norman roof produces as many leaks as a chimney, and the cause is nearly always the same: whoever worked on it last reached for a caulk gun instead of a grinder.
Done properly, the detail uses two independent metal layers, each with its own job. Step flashing climbs each side in individual pieces, one interleaved with every course as the shingles go on. Counter flashing is cut into a mortar joint above it, bent down over the step flashing, and mechanically held. Water that gets behind the counter lands on the step and leaves the way it came. Neither layer works without the other.
What we find instead is a single piece of bent metal laid against the brick with a bead of sealant across the top. Sealant is a maintenance item that fails in about five to seven years in this climate, and faster on a south-facing masonry surface cycling between hot and cold. When it fails the water goes behind everything and appears on a ceiling a room away. Caulk is a finish, not a flashing.
The cricket is the other half. Past roughly thirty inches of width, a chimney wants a framed saddle on its uphill side so runoff parts and passes either way. Skip it and that face collects leaves and granules, holds water against the masonry, and in a climate cycling through freeze and thaw does slow, expensive damage to brick and mortar. A cricket is framing and metal, and it is done once.
We cut counter flashing into the joint with a grinder and a diamond blade, bed it in sealant as a secondary defense rather than as the seal itself, and hold it with lead wedges. On stone, or on a chimney that cannot be cut, we use a surface-mounted termination bar with a proper reglet detail, and we say up front that it carries a maintenance interval. The grinder is the difference between a detail and a patch.
The crown and the cap get inspected on the same trip. A cracked crown routes water down inside the flue and produces a ceiling stain indistinguishable from a flashing leak. Chasing flashing on a chimney whose crown is failing is a repair that will not hold, and it is worth ten extra minutes to know which problem you actually have. We photograph both so you can see what you are paying for.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS-modified rubberized asphalt shingles, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminates, thirty-six-inch self-adhered valley membrane, ring-shank fasteners in the six-nail zone, 24-gauge standing seam steel with concealed clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Norman and nearby communities including Moore, Noble, Lexington, Slaughterville.

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, SBS-modified rubberized asphalt shingles, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminates, thirty-six-inch self-adhered valley membrane, 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 Norman 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 Oklahoma means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
