Tigard Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Tigard, OR for residential and commercial properties across Washington County. Chimney flashing is the most common leak source we find on Tigard houses after pipe boots, and it is nearly always the same failure. Somebody sealed the joint instead of flashing it. Sealant is a maintenance item doing duty as a building assembly, and it always loses.
A chimney that is genuinely watertight has four separate components. Step flashing up both sides, woven into every shingle course. An apron at the downhill face. A back pan or a cricket at the uphill face. And counterflashing let into a mortar joint or a cut reglet, lapping over all of it. Caulk is not on that list, and neither is roof cement.
The uphill side is where most of them fail. Any chimney wider than about thirty inches wants a cricket behind it, which is a small framed saddle that parts the water and sends it around the stack, and on the low-pitch roofs common in this housing stock a chimney without one becomes a dam holding water and fir debris against masonry all winter long. Adding a cricket is real carpentry, and it is the actual fix.
Masonry brings its own water problem, which is not a roofing problem but arrives looking exactly like one. Unsealed brick and mortar absorb an enormous amount of rain across a wet winter, and a crown that has cracked lets water into the stack from above. If the flashing is sound and your ceiling is still staining, the crown and the masonry are where we look next, and we will say so even though it is somebody else's trade.
The other frequent finding is a chimney nobody uses. Plenty of fireplaces around here have been out of service for a decade, and an abandoned masonry stack is still four flashing joints and a permanent maintenance obligation sitting on your roof. Removing it below the roofline during a tear-off costs less than most owners assume and takes the problem away for good.
We will not re-caulk a chimney and call it repaired. If somebody has already run a bead of sealant along the counterflashing, that bead is the reason the joint is failing now, because it held water inside the reglet through an entire wet season. The repair is to cut the reglet properly, set new counterflashing, and let the joint shed. We would rather do it once.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — mechanically seamed 24-gauge steel roof panels, self-adhered bituminous membrane at valleys and penetrations, 1x skip sheathing and half-inch plywood decks, continuous ridge venting paired with clear soffit intake, baffles that keep blown-in insulation off the eave vents, step flashing and counterflashing at sidewall terminations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tigard and nearby communities including Beaverton, Tualatin, Sherwood, King 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 mechanically seamed 24-gauge steel roof panels, self-adhered bituminous membrane at valleys and penetrations, 1x skip sheathing and half-inch plywood decks, continuous ridge venting paired with clear soffit intake, 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 Tigard 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 Washington County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tigard Chooses Tigard Roof Pros
- ✓We tell you which side of Oregon's permit-exemption line your roof sits on, in writing, before we price it. That single distinction is where most of the spread between competing bids actually comes from.
- ✓A permit-exempt re-roof is never seen by a building inspector, so we photograph the bare deck the moment the tear-off is done and send it to you before any underlayment covers it up.
- ✓We quote access as its own line. Skinny-lot infill, shared flag drives and second dwellings have taken the boom-truck approach away from a lot of older lots here, and hand-carrying material is real labor that belongs on paper.
- ✓We do not chase weather events, and nobody from this company is going to knock on your door. Damaging hail is close to absent west of the Cascades, and any roofer who tells you otherwise after a thunderstorm is selling something.
