Elk Grove Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Elk Grove, CA for residential and commercial properties across south Sacramento County. Most chimney leaks we see in Elk Grove are not chimney leaks. They are wall leaks at a stucco chase, and they were caused by somebody caulking a flashing onto the stucco instead of cutting it into it.
Tract houses here mostly have a framed and stuccoed chase rather than a masonry stack, and that changes the detail entirely. Stucco is not waterproof and it is not a flashing substrate. Water landing on the chase runs down inside the stucco plane, and if the counterflashing is a bead of sealant on the surface, that water passes behind the step flashing and straight onto the deck.
The correct detail takes longer and lasts decades. Two-piece flashing: step flashing woven course by course into the roof covering, then a separate counterflashing with a hemmed leg let into a cut reglet in the stucco or tucked under the weep screed, sealed with butyl behind the metal rather than smeared along the front of it. Cut the metal into the wall and the joint stops depending on a bead of anything.
The other half of the job is the kickout. Where a chase or a wall dies into a roof slope, the bottom of that flashing has to divert water out into the gutter, and on a surprising number of houses here it simply stops. Water runs behind the stucco at that corner for years, and the first sign is dark sheathing or a ceiling stain well away from the chimney itself.
On a real masonry chimney we rebuild the pan and cricket instead of patching them. A cricket behind any chimney wider than roughly thirty inches on a shallow Valley slope, a soldered or riveted-and-sealed pan at the upslope side, and a crown that is a properly sloped cap with a drip edge rather than the thin mortar wash that cracks within a few years. A cracked crown feeds water into the chase all winter.
We will tell you when the fix is not roofing. A leak that shows only in a driving south rain and never in a slow one is usually a stucco or crown problem, and reflashing will not solve it. In that case we do the roof side correctly, tell you what the wall needs, and do not charge you for a second flashing job to find that out.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, high-temperature synthetic underlayment, self-adhered modified-bitumen membrane, concrete S-tile and flat-profile tile, 24-gauge standing-seam steel on concealed clips, two-piece step and counterflashing cut into a reglet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Elk Grove and nearby communities including Sacramento, Florin, Vineyard, Galt.

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 SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, high-temperature synthetic underlayment, self-adhered modified-bitumen membrane, concrete S-tile and flat-profile tile, 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 Elk Grove 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 south Sacramento County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
