Everett Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Everett, WA for residential and commercial properties across Snohomish County. A chimney is a dam set in the middle of a river. Everything draining from the roof above has to split around it, and the back pan takes the full weight of whatever the plane above sends down. That is why chimneys leak here, and why sealant never holds.
The controlling detail is the cricket. Code triggers a saddle above a certain width, but the trigger is a minimum rather than a design, and on a long plane feeding a narrow chimney we will frame one well below the width where anyone would require it. A cricket does not just divide the flow, it gives the water somewhere to go that is not a horizontal pan.
Below that, the sequence matters more than the materials. Self-adhered membrane over the deck and up the masonry first, then step flashing woven course by course, then two-piece counterflashing let into a ground-out reglet with the upper leg mechanically fixed. Surface-mounted counterflashing bedded in mastic is a repair with a shelf life, and we will tell you what that shelf life is before we quote it. It is usually about five years.
We also look above the flashing, because a real share of chimney leaks are not flashing leaks at all. A cracked crown, open head joints in the top courses, missing cap, or a rusted chase cover on a framed chase all let water in above everything we install. Flashing a chimney that is drinking through its crown is money spent on the wrong course. So the crown gets looked at before the flashing gets quoted.
When a chimney is disused, we will offer to remove it. Taking a dead flue down to below the roofline and re-decking the opening removes a permanent maintenance item, a permanent leak risk and an obstruction in the drainage path, and it usually costs less than a full rebuild of the flashing and crown. The opening is decked, underlaid and shingled as part of the same job.
Every chimney we touch gets photographed at each stage, membrane, step, counter and finished, because none of it is visible afterward and you are entitled to see what you paid for. If we found a crown or masonry defect we could not repair, that goes in the report with a recommendation to a mason rather than being quietly shingled over. You get those photographs whether or not you ask for them.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 26-gauge open W-valley metal with a raised center rib, three-by-four downspout outlets punched oversize through the trough bottom, through-wall overflow outlets set two inches above the membrane surface, externally baffled ridge vent with an integral weather filter, gutter apron run behind the drip edge and over the back of the trough, a drain sump recessed a full inch below the surrounding roof field — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Everett and nearby communities including Marysville, Mukilteo, Lake Stevens, Edmonds.

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 26-gauge open W-valley metal with a raised center rib, three-by-four downspout outlets punched oversize through the trough bottom, through-wall overflow outlets set two inches above the membrane surface, externally baffled ridge vent with an integral weather filter, 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 Everett 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 Snohomish County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Everett Chooses Everett Roof Pros
- ✓We count outlets and downspouts before we count squares, because in this city the covering is rarely the part that fails first. The path the water takes off it is.
- ✓We will not confirm hail damage in Everett. What falls out of a convergence cell here is graupel, and we would rather show you why it cannot bruise an asphalt mat than write you into a claim.
- ✓Any valley longer than eight feet gets open 26-gauge metal instead of a closed cut. A closed cut is a friction detail, and friction is what backs water up under the courses when it arrives all at once.
- ✓We will tell you a coating cannot fix a drainage problem, and we would rather lose the low-slope job than sell a film over a deck that ponds.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Everett 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.
Every chimney flashing project in Everett gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
