Burleson Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Burleson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the I-35W corridor south of Fort Worth. A chimney on a steep roof needs a cricket. IRC R1003.20 is blunt about it. Measure the width across the slope, and past thirty inches the uphill face takes a saddle. On a 6:12 field that is the difference between water going around and water pooling.
The steeper the roof, the taller the cricket has to be to move water outboard of the chimney, and the more often it gets built undersized or skipped by whoever reroofed the house last. We see a lot of chimneys here where a strip of self-adhered membrane was run up the back wall in place of a framed and metal-clad saddle. That works for a few years and then the wall behind the chimney becomes the problem.
Flashing is two pieces and this is the part homeowners are never told. Step flashing interleaves with the courses and is part of the roof. Counterflashing is let into a mortar joint or a reglet and belongs to the masonry. They overlap and they move independently. A single piece of metal caulked to brick is not flashing, it is a sealant joint with a short life, and it is what we remove most often.
Chase covers on framed chimneys are the equivalent failure on the manufactured side. A flat galvanized cover ponds, rusts through at the low point, and drains straight into the chase where nobody can see it. The replacement is stainless or aluminum with a cross break and a proper drip, and it is not expensive relative to the framing it protects. Water inside a chase stays invisible until the framing under it goes.
On the shallow side of the house, a chimney or a flue penetrating a 3:12 porch roof gets a self-adhered base and a taller upstand than the field detail, because there is no gravity assist. The standard boot that came off the truck is rated for the field, not for a low slope. A cross break costs almost nothing at fabrication and everything to retrofit.
If the leak is at a chimney and the roof is under ten years old, this is a flashing job, not a roof job. Anyone quoting a full replacement off a chimney stain should be asked why. A stain at a chimney is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Flashing is a day of work, not a roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 6:12 minimum dwelling pitch, 3:12 front porch allowance, doubled underlayment below four in twelve, porch-to-field transition flashing, pitch-multiplier labor takeoff, roof jack and plank staging — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Burleson and nearby communities including Cleburne, Joshua, Crowley, Benbrook.

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 6:12 minimum dwelling pitch, 3:12 front porch allowance, doubled underlayment below four in twelve, porch-to-field transition flashing, 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 Burleson 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 I-35W corridor south of Fort Worth means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Burleson Chooses Burleson Roof Pros
- ✓Every proposal carries a pitch schedule. Each plane is listed with its slope, its squares and the underlayment specified for that slope, so a shallow porch cannot be buried inside one roof price.
- ✓We treat the porch and patio cover as a service in their own right rather than an afterthought, because in this city that shallow surface causes most of the interior damage while the steep field takes the blame.
- ✓Our reports state which planes were reached on foot and which were assessed from a drone or a ladder. Above seven in twelve nobody walks a roof safely without staging, and pretending otherwise is where bad reports begin.
- ✓We refuse work we think is wrong. Coatings do not go on asphalt fields, tile does not go on tract framing built for shingle load, and a roof with years left does not get replaced because a storm passed overhead.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Burleson 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 Burleson 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.
