Farmington Hills Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Farmington Hills, MI for residential and commercial properties across southwest Oakland County. The chimney is where the ownership line runs straight through the middle of a single repair, and it is the detail we get called about more than any other on attached buildings.
In most Michigan master deeds the chimney serving one unit is a limited common element belonging to that co-owner, while the roof deck it passes through is a general common element belonging to everyone. The flashing sits on the boundary. We write it as one scope with two payers identified, which is the only version a managing agent can actually process.
The physics are the same regardless of who pays. A masonry chimney wants step flashing laced in course by course up each side, an apron across the low face, a saddle above, and counterflashing cut into a mortar joint and sealed. Not surface-mounted to the brick face with a bead of caulk, which is what we find perhaps three times out of four. Caulk is a maintenance material and it is being asked to do a metal's job.
Anything measuring more than about thirty inches across needs a cricket framed behind it. Without one the chimney acts as a dam, snow piles against the upslope face and stays there for weeks, and water works sideways under the shingles. A properly built saddle framed and metal-clad costs a few hundred dollars during a re-roof and prevents the leak that otherwise arrives every March. Snow against a chimney face lasts far longer than snow elsewhere.
Half of what gets called a flashing leak is not one. An open crown, a missing rain cap, a spalled brick face or unfilled mortar joints will all put water into a ceiling below and none of them are on the roof. We check the crown and the joints before quoting metal, and if the masonry is the problem we say so and stay out of it.
The rule we hold to is simple: flashing gets replaced during a re-roof, never reused. Bending old aluminum back into place and sealing it saves a couple of hundred dollars on a twenty-thousand-dollar job and it is the single most common corner cut we find under otherwise decent roofs in this county. A managing agent can process a split scope, but only if somebody writes it as one to begin with.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, draftstopped attic partition above a party wall, cricket saddle framed behind a wide chimney — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington Hills and nearby communities including Farmington, Livonia, Northville, Plymouth.

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-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, 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 Farmington Hills 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 southwest Oakland County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Farmington Hills Chooses Farmington Hills Roof Pros
- ✓We ask for the master deed and the bylaws before we measure anything, because the article listing general common elements decides who is legally allowed to buy this roof.
- ✓On a detached site condominium the home and its roof are yours, and we say so plainly instead of sending you to a board with no authority over either.
- ✓Association quotes arrive per building with a remaining-life column, so twelve roofs can be phased across three budget years rather than funded by one special assessment.
- ✓Gutters and chimneys get their own document when the deed assigns them to the co-owner and the deck to the association, because a single invoice cannot cross that line.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Farmington Hills 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.
