Kokomo Chimney Flashing — Residential & Commercial

Chimney Flashing in Kokomo, IN

Kokomo Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Kokomo, IN for residential and commercial properties across Howard County and north central Indiana. More jobs die on this page than on any other page we write. A large share of the brick chimneys we are called to reflash in Kokomo are not connected to anything at all, and reflashing them is money spent renewing a problem rather than removing it.

When the furnace went to a sealed condensing unit venting through a sidewall in plastic pipe, the chimney it used to serve became a decorative masonry column with a hole in your roof at the bottom of it. An orphaned stack still needs counterflashing cut into the mortar, a crown that has not cracked, brick that has survived thirty Indiana freeze-thaw cycles, and a cap. That is a maintenance obligation in perpetuity on a structure doing no work.

So the first question we ask is what the chimney serves. If the answer is nothing, or only a water heater due for replacement anyway, our recommendation is to take the stack down below the sheathing plane, frame and deck the opening solid, and shingle across it. Done at a tear-off, while the roof is open and the crew is there, that costs less than a proper reflash and deletes the problem.

If the chimney is live, then it gets done properly and there is no shortcut. Two-piece flashing, and both pieces earn their keep. Step pieces laced in course by course on both cheeks, then counterflashing wedged into a saw-cut reglet in the mortar joint rather than surface-mounted with sealant across the brick face. Surface caulk on brick is the defect we find on most leaking chimneys in this county.

Masonry condition decides whether flashing is even worth doing. A crown with an open crack, or spalled brick in the top three courses, will pass water down the inside of the stack no matter how good the roof detail is, and the stain on your ceiling will look identical. That work belongs to a mason and we will tell you so plainly rather than flashing around it and taking your money for a result we know will disappoint.

Where a chimney passes through mid-slope, water needs somewhere to go above it. That detail exists, it is not optional on a wide stack, and it is left out constantly on quick storm work because the roof looks finished either way and nobody is coming to check.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, one-piece lead pipe flashings instead of thermoplastic boots, penetration counts recorded per square at tear-off — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Kokomo and nearby communities including Greentown, Russiaville, Sharpsville, Windfall City.

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 orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, 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 Kokomo 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 Howard County and north central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

  • ✓We count the roof penetrations before we price the job and tell you which ones are dead and can simply be closed and decked over.
  • ✓We will read a 2016 storm roof honestly, including the times the answer is that it has years left in it and you should wait.
  • ✓Deck replacement is quoted at a published per-sheet rate rather than buried inside an allowance you have no way to check afterwards.

The standards behind chimney flashing

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Kokomo follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.

Chimney Flashing in Kokomo: Common Questions

How much does chimney flashing cost in Kokomo, IN?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over. We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess.

We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How long does a chimney flashing job take?

Most residential chimney flashing work in Kokomo runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Larger commercial jobs get phased so the property keeps operating. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections in Kokomo?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Kokomo building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Kokomo Roof Pros licensed and insured?

There is no roofing license to hold in this state, and Kokomo goes further than most Indiana cities: its own building permits page states that the city does not require general contractors to be licensed. The permit menu runs to building, electrical, sewer tap, demolition, street cut and driveway work, with no roofing category anywhere on it.

So we wave no card at you. We show you the deck on the day it is open and put the photographs in your file..

General liability and Indiana workers' compensation, both current and both checkable: carrier name, policy number and expiration date print on page one of your proposal, and the certificate reaches you from the agency rather than out of our folder. Where nothing else is verified, that is the one credential you can confirm yourself in a phone call..

Rather than claim a badge in a market where nobody verifies one, we work to the printed application instructions packed with the shingle we are installing, and we leave that sheet with you so our nail placement can be read against what the maker requires..

Every chimney flashing job carries A written workmanship warranty that names the penetrations we closed and the ones we left standing, with the count on it, because a roof carrying fourteen holes and a roof carrying six are not the same roof and your paperwork should say which one you bought..

Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial roofing work as well as residential?

Both. Kokomo Roof Pros runs residential chimney flashing across Kokomo neighborhoods and commercial work for offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA properties throughout Howard County and north central Indiana. Commercial jobs get phased scheduling and off-hours crews so tenants and customers are not shut out while the work happens.
