Rome Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Rome, GA for residential and commercial properties across the Coosa Valley. More water gets into houses here at the chimney than at any other point on the roof. A chimney is masonry left standing in a climate that crosses freezing sixty-odd times a year, with water already sitting in its joints when it does.
Older houses on Jackson Hill and around the Between the Rivers area were built with soft brick and lime mortar, which is the correct material for those walls and also the material that gives up its face when it is saturated and then frozen. Crowns craze and shed, joints open, and the counterflashing that was let into a joint eighty years ago is now sitting in a slot with nothing solid around it.
Which is why we will not flash a chimney we have not repointed. Cutting a fresh reglet into crumbling mortar buys you two seasons at best. The order of work is crown first, repoint the top several courses, then let it cure, then cut the reglet and set the counterflashing into it with a lead wedge and sealant behind rather than a bead of caulk smeared across the face.
The base detail is step flashing, one piece per shingle course, woven up the sides and never substituted with a single L-shaped run of metal or a strip of self-adhered tape. On the uphill side, a chimney much past two and a half feet across gets a framed cricket clad in metal, because a flat back on a chimney in a debris-heavy town collects leaves, holds water and rots the deck behind it.
For metal we prefer lead or heavy copper on masonry rather than aluminum. Aluminum reacts with fresh mortar and it fatigues at the bend when it is worked by thermal movement, and thermal movement is precisely what this valley provides in quantity between a frozen dawn and a fifty-degree afternoon. Lead costs more per foot and it outlives three sets of aluminum.
If your chimney is decorative and no longer serving an appliance, ask us about removing it below the roof line and framing over. On a number of houses that has been the cheapest permanent answer we could offer, and it removes the single most reliable source of water in the building. It is not the answer for a chimney you still burn, and it is worth asking about for one you do not.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — high-temperature self-adhered underlayment on cold valley decks, concealed-clip standing seam over a vented deck, freeze-thaw Grade 1 tile graded to ASTM C1167, reglet-cut counterflashing set with lead wedges, hand-sealed shingle tabs on shaded winter installs, tapered polyiso with crickets framed behind curbs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Rome and nearby communities including Lindale, Shannon, Cave Spring, Kingston.

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 high-temperature self-adhered underlayment on cold valley decks, concealed-clip standing seam over a vented deck, freeze-thaw Grade 1 tile graded to ASTM C1167, reglet-cut counterflashing set with lead wedges, 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 Rome 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 Coosa Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Rome Chooses Rome Roof Pros
- ✓We price the carpentry separately and show you the rotted sheathing before it is covered, so a deck surprise never becomes a mid-job renegotiation on your driveway.
- ✓We diagnose condensation before we sell roofing. Roughly half the ceiling stains in this valley are attic moisture, and that is an air-sealing job rather than a roof job.
- ✓We refuse residential shingle coatings outright. A film over a roof that condenses most clear nights traps water, lifts in sheets and makes the next replacement more expensive.
- ✓Winter shingle work on shaded slopes gets hand-sealed with asphalt cement, every tab, because adhesive strips will not bond on a cold valley-floor roof under canopy.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Rome 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 Rome 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.
