West Valley City Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in West Valley City, UT for residential and commercial properties across the west Salt Lake Valley. A chimney is the tallest thing on most roofs, which makes it both an obstruction that concentrates airflow and the place where two materials that move differently have to stay watertight against each other for twenty years. Both of those problems get solved with metal, not with a tube.
Correct flashing is two separate pieces. Step flashing goes up the sides, one piece per course, tucked under the shingle above and lapped over the one below, never face-nailed through its exposed leg. Counter flashing is a separate metal that laps over the step legs and is set into a cut groove in the mortar joint, then wedged and sealed. Metal caulked flat to the brick is not counter flashing. It is a two-year repair sold as permanent.
The cricket is where most local chimney leaks actually begin. Any chimney wider than about thirty inches needs a small framed saddle on its uphill face so water and debris split and run around instead of piling against the brick. We build them out of framing and metal rather than out of sealant, and we add them during reroofs even where the original builder skipped it.
Wind changes the counter flashing detail. On an exposed plane a groove cut into the mortar bed joint holds far better than one cut into the vertical head joints, and a continuous piece with mechanical wedges every foot resists being peeled the way a sealant-only termination cannot. It is a slower cut and it is the reason our chimney work outlives the neighbor's.
Masonry gets assessed at the same time because flashing cannot fix a chimney that is drinking through its own crown. A cracked crown, spalled brick from repeated freezing, or an open flue top will produce interior stains that look exactly like a flashing leak. If that is what we find, we will tell you the roof is not the problem, which is not the answer that sells a flashing job.
Chase covers on framed chimneys are their own subject. The flat galvanized pan most builders install rusts through and then acts like a funnel aimed at your firebox. Stainless or copper with a cross break to shed water and a proper drip edge costs more once and stops the cycle. We size the pan to the chase with a hem, since a cover that fits loosely rattles itself apart in a season.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ring-shank deck fasteners, factory starter course, hemmed drip edge, self-adhered underlayment, laminated asphalt shingles, 24-gauge standing seam steel — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Valley City and nearby communities including Taylorsville, Kearns, Magna, Copperton.

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 ring-shank deck fasteners, factory starter course, hemmed drip edge, self-adhered underlayment, 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 West Valley City 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 west Salt Lake Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
