Santa Clarita Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Santa Clarita, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Santa Clarita Valley. A chimney is the hardest thing on a roof to keep watertight and, in fire country, one of the few places embers can travel in either direction. Both problems get solved with metal, on the same visit, because the crew and the access are the same.
The flashing side is a system of four parts and it fails whenever one is missing. Step flashing woven course by course up both sides. A soldered or well-lapped front apron. A saddle or cricket behind any chimney wider than about thirty inches, so water and debris shed around it rather than damming behind it and sitting there all winter. Behind a wide chimney, debris dams as reliably as water does.
And counterflashing let into a cut reglet in the masonry, folded and sealed, not surface-caulked to the brick. Surface-caulked counterflashing is the single most common thing we find on roofs here and it is a five-year answer at best in this ultraviolet, which is why it keeps getting redone by whoever owns the house next. Caulk is not a flashing material, whatever the tube says on the label.
The ember side is the crown and the arrestor. A spark arrestor with corrosion-resistant mesh keeps sparks from leaving your flue on a windy night, which is a courtesy to the neighborhood, and a proper cap keeps embers and rain from coming down it, which is a courtesy to yourself and your insurer. Both are inexpensive parts that get skipped precisely because nobody sees them from the ground.
On prefabricated metal chimneys the chase cap is the item that matters. A flat galvanised cap ponds, rusts through in a decade and drips down the chase, so we replace it with a sloped stainless or coated cap with a drip edge and a proper collar. Tile roofs need their own approach: a raised pan with a formed edge, and tile cut to the flashing rather than mortared to it.
If the masonry itself is spalling and the crown is broken, flashing is the wrong first job. We will tell you to get a mason to rebuild the top courses and pour a crown with a drip kerf, then come back and flash into sound material, because doing it the other way round means paying twice. Unused fireplaces still deserve a cap, since an open flue is an ember chute straight into the house.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class A rated roof assemblies tested to ASTM E108, listed ember-resistant attic vents with eighth-inch corrosion-resistant mesh, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminated shingles, 24-gauge Kynar 500 standing seam panels on concealed clips, two-ply SBS modified bitumen with mineral-surfaced cap sheet, mechanical tile clips and screws at eave, rake, hip and ridge — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Santa Clarita and nearby communities including Castaic, Stevenson Ranch, Val Verde, Agua Dulce.

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 Class A rated roof assemblies tested to ASTM E108, listed ember-resistant attic vents with eighth-inch corrosion-resistant mesh, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminated shingles, 24-gauge Kynar 500 standing seam panels on 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 Santa Clarita 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 Santa Clarita Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
