Redding Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Redding, CA for residential and commercial properties across Shasta County and the northern Sacramento Valley. Chimneys leak more often than any other penetration because they are four separate flashing details pretending to be one. Base apron at the front, step flashing up both sides, counterflashing cut into the masonry, and a saddle behind anything wide. Skip one and the roof leaks.
Caulk is not counterflashing. We regularly see Redding chimneys sealed with a bead of mastic where let-in metal should be, and it lasts about three summers before the joint opens up under thermal movement. Proper work means grinding a reglet groove into the mortar, folding the metal into it, then wedging and sealing it in place so it cannot pull out. Grind the reglet, fold the metal, wedge it, seal it. Four steps.
The cricket behind the chimney stops being optional above roughly 30 inches of width. Without one, water and debris stack against the uphill face, stay damp, and quietly rot the deck behind the masonry. In Redding the debris matters as much as the water does, because a wedge of pine needles held against a warm stack all through August is the wrong thing in the wrong place. Measure the uphill face before you agree to skip it.
Which brings in the one rule that applies to your house today regardless of when it was built. Public Resources Code 4291 requires an owner in the state responsibility area to remove the portion of any tree extending within ten feet of a chimney or stovepipe outlet. That is in force right now, it is easy to check from the ground, and most people have never heard of it. Ten feet, measured from the outlet itself.
Spark arrestors belong in the same visit. A screened cap keeps embers in and keeps birds, needles and squirrels out of the flue, and fitting one while we already have safe access to the stack costs a fraction of what a separate trip would. Check that the mesh is metal and that the cap is actually fastened rather than resting on the flue, because one that lifts in a north wind is doing nothing.
If your chimney is a decorative shell over a metal flue that no longer serves any appliance, ask us about taking it down to the roof line. Deleting the penetration entirely solves the leak, the cricket and the debris trap in one move, and it is frequently cheaper than doing all three of those things properly. We will price it both ways and show you the two numbers.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — granule-surfaced cap sheet at the eave, bird stop eave closure, one-eighth-inch corrosion-resistant vent mesh, noncombustible metal gutter cover, 26-gauge galvanized valley flashing, fire-rated roof underlayment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Redding and nearby communities including Anderson, Shasta Lake, Cottonwood, Happy Valley.

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 granule-surfaced cap sheet at the eave, bird stop eave closure, one-eighth-inch corrosion-resistant vent mesh, noncombustible metal gutter cover, 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 Redding 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 Shasta County and the northern Sacramento Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Redding Chooses Redding Roof Pros
- ✓We look up your CAL FIRE zone before we quote, because it sets the covering class you legally need and it changes the price in both directions.
- ✓We tell you plainly that Chapter 7A exempts remodels of pre-2008 buildings, so you are never sold a vent or eave upgrade as a legal requirement.
- ✓We will not sell a roof coating as fire protection on a composition roof, because a field-applied coating does not change a tested assembly class.
- ✓We price the eave closure, vent upgrades and gutter covers as separate strikeable lines rather than burying them in a square-foot number.
