Anderson Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Anderson, IN for residential and commercial properties across Madison County and east central Indiana. The chimney is the leakiest object on most Anderson roofs, and it leaks for a boring reason. Somebody sealed the joint with roofing cement instead of building a flashing, and roofing cement has a service life measured in a few seasons rather than a few decades.
Chimney flashing done right is two systems overlapping. Step pieces are laid in with each shingle course up both sides of the stack, and counterflashing gets cut into a reglet in the brickwork, then folded down to cover the step legs. That arrangement lets masonry and roof deck move independently, which they will, without ever opening a path for water. A bead of caulk cannot do it and never could.
The uphill side needs a cricket once a chimney gets wide. A cricket is a small framed peak behind the stack that splits water around it instead of letting it pile against the masonry and sit there. Without one, the back pan corrodes, the mortar stays saturated through every freeze cycle, and the wall inside starts showing a stain that nobody connects to the chimney.
There is masonry work here too, and we will tell you when it is beyond our scope. A cracked crown, spalled brick faces from years of freeze and thaw, and missing mortar joints all admit water above any flashing we can build. We can install perfect metal underneath a chimney that is still soaking through its own brick, and it will still leak. That is a mason's job and we will say so.
A great many chimneys in this city no longer do anything. The furnace was replaced with a direct-vent unit, the fireplace was closed off, and the stack has stood unused for twenty years while continuing to admit water and cost money. Removing it to below the roof line, framing over, decking and shingling across is often the least expensive permanent answer, and we bring it up every time.
If your roof is coming off, all of this should happen then rather than later. Flashing is woven into the shingle courses, so doing it correctly afterward means cutting into a roof you have only just paid for. Any estimate saying the existing chimney flashing will be reused deserves a direct question about what exactly is being reused, and why it is still good.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — board-sheathed decking, peel-and-stick ice barrier, six-nail fastening patterns, reglet-set counterflashing, continuous ridge venting, closed-cut valley detailing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anderson and nearby communities including Pendleton, Elwood, Alexandria, Chesterfield.

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 board-sheathed decking, peel-and-stick ice barrier, six-nail fastening patterns, reglet-set counterflashing, 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 Anderson 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 Madison County and east central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Anderson Chooses Anderson Roof Pros
- ✓We put a cost per year on both options so you can compare a repair and a tear-off with real arithmetic instead of a feeling.
- ✓We inspect and grade each plane separately, because one slope is usually years ahead of the rest and that changes what you should spend.
- ✓Six nails per shingle in the nailing zone as standard, plus starter course at rakes, which is the omission we find most often on older roofs here.
- ✓We charge a flat fee for inspections and do not credit it toward work, so our opinion is allowed to be that your roof is fine.
