Parma Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Parma, OH for residential and commercial properties across Cleveland's southwest suburbs. Most chimneys we are asked to flash around here are no longer connected to anything. The furnace went high-efficiency and vents through plastic pipe out a side wall, the water heater followed, and the masonry stack has stood there since doing nothing but making a hole in the roof.
That changes the right recommendation, and it changes it substantially. If the chimney is live, we flash it properly and that is the job. If it is dead, the question genuinely worth asking is whether you want to keep paying to keep water out of a structure you no longer use, or take it down below the roof line and frame the opening closed for good.
Removal below the deck is usually cheaper than a rebuild and a reflash together, and it eliminates the leak permanently instead of resetting the clock on it for another decade. The stack comes down to below the sheathing, the framing is filled in to match what is around it, the deck is patched and the slope is roofed as though the chimney had never been there. Interior masonry below can stay exactly where it is.
When the chimney stays, that flashing gets built and not sealed. Step pieces go in against the brick one per shingle course, interleaved rather than laid over the top. The counterflashing above them is ground into a mortar joint, folded back into that reglet, fastened, and sealed last. Counterflashing simply caulked to the face of the brick is what we find most often, and it is why most chimneys around here leak.
On the upslope side, anything wider than roughly thirty inches wants a cricket: a small framed saddle that splits the water and sends it around the stack rather than letting it pile against the brick and sit there through a thaw. Plenty of chimneys in this city that are easily wide enough to need one have never had one built.
Masonry condition is a separate trade with a separate crew, and we will say so plainly rather than take the work. If the crown is cracked, the joints are open or the brick face is spalling, that is tuckpointing work, and no flashing detail ever devised will keep water out of a chimney that is drinking it from the top down.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, kickout flashing at the foot of a roof-to-wall run, attic bypass sealing at top plates, flue chases and fixture penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Parma and nearby communities including Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn, Broadview Heights.

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 self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, 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 Parma 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 Cleveland's southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Parma Chooses Parma Premium Roofing
- ✓We specify the ice barrier from the Residential Code of Ohio and the shape of your roof, not from a regional sales template written for Geauga County snowfall.
- ✓Every quote starts in the attic. If warm air is reaching your deck, no membrane we could sell you would fix the problem you actually called us about.
- ✓Deck repair is billed as boards actually replaced, counted in front of you, rather than as a padded allowance that quietly disappears if we do not need it.
- ✓We hand-seal any shingle installed onto a cold deck the same day, because an unsealed tab in November is a creased tab after the first February gust.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Parma 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.
