Del Rio Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Del Rio, TX for residential and commercial properties across Val Verde County and the Lower Pecos. A great many chimneys in this town have not had a fire in them since the Carter administration. They are decorative masonry now, nobody has swept one in decades, and that is exactly why their flashing is so often the oldest untouched detail on the whole building.
Nobody is up there. Nobody looks at the crown, and because a chimney leak drains down inside the chase and into an exterior wall cavity, it can run for years without ever marking a ceiling. The chase is a sealed box with no way to look inside, and by the time anything appears on drywall it has usually ruined a stud bay first.
The failure is usually a bead of sealant doing structural work. Face-caulked counterflashing looks perfectly correct for about four summers. Then the sealant hardens, pulls away from the brick, and opens a gap along the top edge that fills first with dust and afterward with water. Sealant is a maintenance item, and no maintenance schedule exists for a chimney nobody uses. Four summers is roughly the service life of a caulk joint in this sun.
The right detail is a reglet cut into the mortar joint with the counterflashing let into it, wedged, and sealed only as a secondary measure. Step flashing woven into the courses on the sides, and a cricket on the uphill face of anything wider than thirty inches. The cricket is not optional on a wide chimney, because without one that uphill side becomes a dam that collects debris.
The crown gets attention as well, since a cracked crown admits water into the masonry itself and then into the flashing from behind, which no amount of good roofing above will correct. Most crowns in this town were poured flush to the brick face, when a proper one throws water clear of the masonry below it. Water then gets in behind the flashing, and no roofer working above it can stop that.
On a chimney that is never going to be used again, we will price the honest alternative alongside the repair: take it down below the roof line, sheathe over the opening, and delete the penetration permanently. On a decorative chase that has leaked for a decade that is frequently the cheaper number. If the chimney carries structure, that is another discussion and we will raise it. Deleting a penetration is the only repair that lasts forever.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — counterflashing let into the mortar joint, self-adhered membrane at valley terminations, concealed-fastener standing seam, tapered insulation falls toward the drains, two-ply modified bitumen cap sheet, mechanically attached thermoplastic membrane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Del Rio and nearby communities including Cienegas Terrace, Val Verde Park, Laughlin AFB, Lake View.

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 counterflashing let into the mortar joint, self-adhered membrane at valley terminations, concealed-fastener standing seam, tapered insulation falls toward the drains, 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 Del Rio 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 Val Verde County and the Lower Pecos means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Del Rio Chooses Del Rio Roof Pros
- ✓We water-test every repair before calling it finished, because in a county with sixty rain days a year nothing else actually proves the detail holds.
- ✓We specify roofing you can still buy nine years from now, not the line with the handsomest brochure and the thinnest distribution west of San Antonio.
- ✓We open the roof and the attic before quoting a replacement, so the number you receive already accounts for whatever the sheathing turns out to be.
- ✓We will write you a letter confirming there is no hail damage, and in this county we end up writing that letter more often than we file a claim.
