Garland Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Garland, TX for residential and commercial properties across the East Fork corridor. Most chimney leaks in this city are not the chimney. They are counterflashing smeared onto the face of the brick with mastic, and mastic on brick has a life expectancy of about four Texas summers. It is the most misdiagnosed leak in this housing stock.
The detail that lasts is metal, not glue. Step flashing goes in course by course on both sides and turns up behind the veneer, then a separate counterflashing set into the mortar joint and folded down over it. Two pieces of metal free to move against each other as the masonry expands, not one piece of metal glued to something that never stops moving. Masonry moves and the metal has to move with it.
A stack more than roughly thirty inches across on its uphill face needs a cricket, framed and clad in metal, so water splits around the stack instead of parking behind it and soaking into the deck. A wide chimney with no cricket and soft sheathing behind it is one of the most common findings on this whole street pattern. Deck rot behind a stack is slow and expensive.
On a lot of these houses the stack has company. The furnace flue and the electric service mast come through within a few feet of the chimney on the same slope, which puts three separate penetrations in one drainage path. We detail them as a group, keep the fastest water lane between them clear, and flash each one on its own terms. Getting the order of laps right between three of them is most of the skill.
We do not repoint brick or rebuild crowns, and we will say so rather than improvise with a bag of mortar. Cracked crowns and spalling brick are masonry work with a different skill behind it. What we do is flash, cap and tell you honestly whether the masonry has to be repaired first so the flashing has something sound to sit against. Improvising masonry with roofing products turns a small problem into a rebuild.
If the chimney is abandoned, seriously consider taking it off. A flue nobody has used since the house switched to central heat is a permanent leak risk and a maintenance line item forever. Cut it below the roof line, frame and sheathe the opening, and your roof gets simpler and cheaper for the rest of its life. It also removes a penetration permanently, which is worth real money.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — galvanized service mast with two-inch riser conduit, rubber-collared roof jack at a mast penetration, point of attachment lagged into a rafter tail, spaced plank decking re-sheeted with structural panels, granulated cap sheet over two-ply SBS modified bitumen, walk pads set under rooftop conduit racks — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Garland and nearby communities including Rowlett, Sachse, Rockwall, Heath.

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 galvanized service mast with two-inch riser conduit, rubber-collared roof jack at a mast penetration, point of attachment lagged into a rafter tail, spaced plank decking re-sheeted with structural panels, 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 Garland 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 East Fork corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Garland Chooses Garland Premium Roofing
- ✓We photograph the mast, weatherhead and point of attachment on the first visit, because on a Garland ranch the service entrance is part of the roof whether or not anyone puts it in the estimate.
- ✓Riser and mast repairs are handed to a licensed electrician on their own city permit instead of being quietly worked around, since electrical is regulated trade work in Texas and roofing is not.
- ✓We measure the clearance between the conductors and the roof plane before you buy, because new decking and a thicker covering both raise that plane and shrink the gap.
- ✓Utility work orders are booked with Garland Power and Light at the start of a job rather than the week the material is delivered, so nobody sits waiting on a truck.
