Tampa Roof Co provides professional chimney flashing in Tampa, FL for residential and commercial properties across the north Hillsborough and central Pasco corridor. Tampa has thousands of chimneys and almost no working fireplaces. They were built for a heating problem this city stopped having decades ago, and what is left is a masonry stack sitting in the middle of a roof plane doing nothing except providing four separate opportunities to leak.
That is not a rhetorical flourish, it is the actual recommendation we make more often than any other on this page: if the flue is abandoned, drop the stack below the roof plane, frame and sheath the opening, and roof straight over it. The leak is gone for good, the price is under what a proper reflash on a tall stack runs, and a maintenance item leaves your house permanently. Most people have never been offered it.
When the chimney stays, flashing it correctly is a two-part assembly and always has been. Step flashing woven through the shingle courses on each slope, plus separate counterflashing set into a reglet ground into the brick itself. A single bent piece caulked against masonry is not flashing. It is a countdown, and Tampa's daily thermal cycling makes it a short one.
The uphill side needs a cricket. A stack wider than about thirty inches with no saddle behind it dams water and debris against the masonry, and on the older belt that debris is oak litter that holds moisture against the brick for weeks. A framed and metal-clad cricket is a couple of hours of work and it removes the single worst detail on most old Tampa roofs.
The masonry itself is usually the other half of the problem. Unmaintained brick in this climate takes water through the crown, through open joints, and straight down the flue into the attic, which looks exactly like a flashing leak and is not one. A cast crown with a real overhang and a proper cap solves it, and we will name that as the fix when it is the fix. We cut the reglet and point the masonry properly afterward.
Reflashing during a reroof costs a fraction of doing it as its own visit, because the courses are already open. Reusing old chimney flashing on a new roof is the worst value in roofing. If a chimney is staying, it gets new step flashing, new counterflashing let into a fresh reglet, and a cricket if the width calls for one. It is the whole assembly or none of it, because a new roof around old metal fails there.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — bay-sequenced tear-off sized to one day of dry-in, cap-nailed dry-in membrane at nine inches on center, unit-priced sheathing replacement measured by the sheet, solar tube mounted between rafters with no header cut, site-formed 24-gauge standing seam from a portable roll former, abandoned masonry chimney taken down below the roof plane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tampa and nearby communities including Town 'n' Country, University, Egypt Lake-Leto, Carrollwood.

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 bay-sequenced tear-off sized to one day of dry-in, cap-nailed dry-in membrane at nine inches on center, unit-priced sheathing replacement measured by the sheet, solar tube mounted between rafters with no header cut, 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 Tampa 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 the north Hillsborough and central Pasco corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tampa Chooses Tampa Roof Co
- ✓We settle who performs your code inspection at contract signing, because in this city that decision controls the schedule more than the covering you pick does.
- ✓Sheathing and sub-fascia are quoted as unit rates agreed before the tear-off, so a bad discovery on Tampa's older stock produces a number you already approved.
- ✓No bay gets opened that cannot be stripped, decked and dried in before the crew leaves the property, regardless of what the forecast says that morning.
- ✓We check the perimeter by hand rather than pricing uplift damage from a drone image, because a broken sealant strip looks identical to a healthy one from above.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Tampa 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 Tampa 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.
