Dalton Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Dalton, GA for residential and commercial properties across northwest Georgia. Nearly every cottage in the old Dalton mill villages has a brick chimney coming up through a roof plane, and a large share of them no longer serve anything at all.
The house was built with coal or wood heat, converted to gas at some point in the fifties, then converted again to a heat pump twenty years later. The flue was capped or simply forgotten about. What remains is masonry standing in the middle of a roof, collecting water at every course, dropping mortar into the gutter and demanding flashing maintenance forever for the benefit of nobody living in the building.
When we find one that is genuinely dead, meaning no appliance vented into it, no water heater, no fireplace anybody has used since the Carter administration, we recommend taking it down below the deck line, framing and sheathing the hole and roofing straight across the plane. That removes the detail permanently. It is normally cheaper than a correct reflash, and it is the last time anyone has to think about that chimney.
Where the chimney stays, the flashing gets done properly or it does not get done. Step flashing on both sides, a separate piece woven into every course, never one long L. A soldered or one-piece pan across the front. Anything much past thirty inches wide earns a cricket behind it, splitting water instead of parking it against masonry. Counterflashing seated into a reglet ground out along a mortar joint, never caulked flat against brick face.
What we find instead, almost invariably, is a bed of black roof cement troweled around the entire base and painted silver, sometimes an inch thick, sitting on top of three earlier generations of the identical repair. That compound is rigid, the brick and the roof deck move at different rates and at different times of year, and it cracks every season without fail. Scraping it all off is half the labor of the reflash.
We flash chimneys. We do not rebuild them, and we will not pretend to. If the crown is broken, the top courses are spalling or the clay liner has failed, call a mason. We will hand over a name instead of troweling across somebody else's structural problem. Putting fresh metal around brick that is failing three courses higher wastes your money and our morning.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — eave intake vent set behind the drip edge, boxed-cornice fascia spliced and milled to profile, twenty-nine-gauge exposed-fastener panel on purlin roof-overs, high-temperature self-adhered membrane under relaid barrel tile, saw-cut reglet counterflashing bedded in the mortar joint, self-adhered SBS cap sheet on rear-addition shed roofs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Dalton and nearby communities including Varnell, Tunnel Hill, Cohutta, Chatsworth.

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 eave intake vent set behind the drip edge, boxed-cornice fascia spliced and milled to profile, twenty-nine-gauge exposed-fastener panel on purlin roof-overs, high-temperature self-adhered membrane under relaid barrel tile, 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 Dalton 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 northwest Georgia means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Dalton Chooses Dalton Roof Pros
- ✓We put the roof's square count on the estimate, because on the small planes common here it decides repair against replacement more than any product choice does.
- ✓We price a repair and compare it against your deductible before anyone mentions filing a claim, and we tell you plainly when the arithmetic says do not file.
- ✓Boxed-cornice houses get a ventilation answer built for them, using eave intake at the drip edge or gable cross-flow rather than a soffit vent that cannot be cut.
- ✓Manufactured-home roofing is ordinary work here, not an exception, and a framed metal roof-over on purlins gets quoted properly instead of being waved away.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Dalton 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.
