Springdale Roof Pros provides professional chimney & flashing in Springdale, AR for residential and commercial properties across Northwest Arkansas. Flashing causes more leaks in Springdale than shingles do, and chimneys cause more flashing leaks than anything else. The reason is almost always that the original installation used sealant where it should have used geometry. Sealant is a gap filler, not a flashing detail.
Correct step flashing is a separate L-shaped piece woven into every shingle course as it climbs the wall, each one lapping the one below, with counterflashing cut into a mortar joint above it to cover the vertical legs. What we routinely find instead is one long piece of bent metal laid against the brick and buried in roof cement. That works for a few years while the cement is flexible.
Counterflashing surface-mounted to the face of the brick with caulk is the other frequent finding. Caulk has a service life measured in single-digit years on a south-facing masonry wall. We grind a reglet into the mortar bed, seat the counterflashing inside it, and close the reveal with a compatible sealant so that the metal is doing the work and the sealant is only closing the reveal.
Chimneys wider than about thirty inches on the upslope side need a cricket, a small framed saddle built to divide water around the stack instead of letting it bank up on the upslope face. Many nineties chimneys here were built without one. Snow and debris collect on the upslope face, hold water against the masonry and the flashing, and eventually get in. We build and flash crickets as a retrofit and it usually solves the problem permanently.
Kick-out diverters at the bottom of a roof-to-wall run are small, cheap and missing on most older houses. Without one, water running down the step flashing exits behind the siding at the wall base rather than into the gutter. That leak shows up as interior damage well below the roof, gets diagnosed as a window or siding problem, and can rot a stud bay quietly for years.
We photograph every flashing detail before the covering goes back down. Flashing is the part of a roof nobody can inspect afterwards without tearing something apart, so the photographs are the only record you will ever have of whether it was done properly or done quickly. Roof cement cracks precisely where the roof plane and the masonry wall move against one another, which is the one place it was asked to hold.

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 net free intake area at the eave, continuous perforated soffit intake, eave insulation baffles, 7/16-inch panel roof sheathing, 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 Springdale 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. Serving Washington County since 2009 years of roofing work in Northwest Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Springdale Chooses Springdale Roof Pros
- ✓We diagnose from the attic side first. A moisture meter on the sheathing seams tells us in ten minutes whether you have a roof leak or a condensation problem, and those two things have completely different price tags.
- ✓We count net free intake area before we sell exhaust. Cutting a ridge on a house whose soffit vents are buried under blown insulation makes the attic worse, and we will not do it without opening the eave first.
- ✓We pull a test square down to the deck before quoting. Springdale's nineties housing is frequently on its second covering, and finding that out during demolition instead of during the estimate is how change orders happen.
- ✓We quote deck replacement in sheets, not as a vague allowance. You get a per-sheet price up front so the number on the final invoice is arithmetic you can check rather than a surprise.

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