Valdosta Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing and crickets in Valdosta, GA for residential and commercial properties across south central Georgia. The ceiling stain that reappears in an upstairs corner every third or fourth storm almost always traces back to masonry. On the hip roofs common in this county the chimney sits mid-slope with roof above it, which is the hardest position on a house to keep dry.
Open one of these and you nearly always find trowel-grade roof cement smeared into the joint between brick and shingle where metal belongs. It holds through two summers, maybe three. Then it splits, because masonry and asphalt expand at different rates and a south Georgia slope travels from the mid thirties on a January morning to surface temperatures well past a hundred and forty by a July afternoon.
Done correctly the joint is three overlapping pieces of metal, and no adhesive anywhere in it is load bearing. Individual step pieces woven in course by course along both sides of the stack. An apron spanning the downslope face. And a counterflashing let into the brickwork above, ground in, bent and hooked down over the steps, so that anything shedding off the masonry is thrown clear onto the roof surface instead of behind it.
Wide chimneys need a saddle behind them. Once the masonry measures much more than two and a half feet across the slope, the upslope face becomes a dam that catches runoff and pine litter and holds both against the deck. Framing a small diverting saddle there costs a few hundred dollars and prevents the most expensive rot we find on this housing stock.
That rot is the reason we treat chimney work as urgent rather than cosmetic. Sheathing trapped under a wet debris pile, in a place where wood-eating fungi get no dormant season, does not last. By the time the stain shows on the ceiling below, the plywood around the masonry has usually already gone soft and belongs in the tear-off.
We fabricate in 26-gauge galvalume, or in copper where the house warrants the expense, and we grind the reglet properly rather than face-nailing metal flat to the brick and running a bead of caulk along the top edge. It is dusty, slow, unglamorous work that nobody enjoys. It is also the reason one of these repairs lasts thirty years instead of four, and we would rather charge you for it once.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 7/16-inch OSB and half-inch CDX roof sheathing, ring shank roofing nails at six-inch edge spacing, self-adhered polymer modified bitumen valley membrane, 26-gauge galvalume drip edge and gutter apron, synthetic underlayment with printed nail lines, pin-type moisture meter readings on bare sheathing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Valdosta and nearby communities including Hahira, Lake Park, Dasher, Remerton.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing and crickets
The difference between chimney flashing and crickets that lasts and chimney flashing and crickets that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 7/16-inch OSB and half-inch CDX roof sheathing, ring shank roofing nails at six-inch edge spacing, self-adhered polymer modified bitumen valley membrane, 26-gauge galvalume drip edge and gutter apron, 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 Valdosta 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 central Georgia means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
