Jackson Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Jackson, MS for residential and commercial properties across central Mississippi. Think of a masonry chimney as a small separate building that happens to share your roof. It has its own footing and its own weight, and on this clay it moves on its own schedule. Every good detail follows from that.
A brick stack is a dense column of masonry resting on a comparatively small footing, while the house around it spreads its load across a slab or a run of piers. Those two things answer the same wet spring in different ways and by different amounts. The gap between chimney and roof deck is therefore a moving joint by design, not by accident or by poor workmanship.
Which means anything rigid bridging that gap is going to fail. Mortar packed down against the shingles, a smear of roof cement worked around the base, a one-piece flashing nailed into both the deck and the brickwork. We find all three most weeks and every one of them ends the same way. Roof cement is a two-year repair material and it gets sold as a permanent one.
The detail that survives is two independent pieces. Base and step flashing fastened only to the roof deck and woven in course by course up both sides, then counterflashing let into a raked and repointed mortar joint, fastened only to the chimney, lapping over the base with a free lower edge. The halves slide past each other and the joint stays shut through the cycle.
Any stack wider than roughly thirty inches gets a framed and sheathed cricket behind it, metal-clad, so water and leaf debris divide around the masonry instead of piling against the uphill face and sitting there. Crickets get skipped constantly on tract houses in this metro, and their absence is the single most common reason a chimney leaks at all. A cricket is half a day of carpentry and it outlasts everything else on that slope.
If the stack is visibly out of plumb or its joints are opening, we will tarp it and tell you to call a mason first, and depending on what the mason finds, a foundation engineer after that. Flashing a chimney that is going somewhere is work we would be charging you to do a second time, and we would rather not. We will put that recommendation in writing so you have it for the mason.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat architectural shingles, shingles carrying an ASTM D7158 Class H wind rating, laminates that pass the UL 2218 Class 4 impact test, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment run over the ridge, twenty-four gauge Galvalume standing seam with concealed clips, sixty and eighty mil induction-welded TPO membrane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jackson and nearby communities including Clinton, Madison, Pearl, Brandon.

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 ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat architectural shingles, shingles carrying an ASTM D7158 Class H wind rating, laminates that pass the UL 2218 Class 4 impact test, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment run over the ridge, 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 Jackson 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 central Mississippi means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jackson Chooses Jackson Roof Pros

- ✓Downspout discharge is measured and balanced on all four elevations rather than extended heroically on the wet side only
- ✓Reference points are scribed at the eave corners on the first visit so the second visit measures against something real
- ✓Ridge and roof-to-wall re-sets are priced as their own line item instead of being folded into a shingle number

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
