Muncie Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Muncie, IN for residential and commercial properties across East Central Indiana. Chimneys cause more roof leaks in Muncie than any other single detail, and the reason is historical. These houses were built with masonry flues for coal and then for gas, and a great many of those flues have been out of service since the furnace was replaced decades ago.
A correct chimney detail is two pieces of metal, not one. Step flashing is woven into each shingle course against the masonry, and separate counterflashing is cut into a raked mortar joint higher up, then folded down over the step flashing and wedged home. Caulk holds nothing on brick over time. If you can see a continuous bead of sealant where the roof meets the chimney, that joint is already failing on a schedule.
Any stack wider than roughly thirty inches on the slope needs a cricket built in behind it — a small framed saddle that divides the water and sends it past the chimney rather than letting it pile against the back face. A great many Muncie chimneys have none, and the evidence is a rotted deck in a two-foot square directly upslope that only appears when the roof comes off.
This is the page where we most often recommend spending less. If the flue is abandoned, the honest answer is usually to take the chimney down to below the roof line, frame and deck the opening, and shingle straight across. It removes the leak permanently, it removes a masonry maintenance liability, and it costs less than rebuilding a crown, repointing and reflashing a stack nothing is connected to.
That is not the answer for every building. A chimney still serving an appliance has to stay and has to be flashed properly, and on a house in one of the older neighborhoods a prominent chimney is part of the elevation and worth keeping for that reason alone. We will lay out both prices and the reasoning rather than deciding for you.
Where we do reflash, the counterflashing goes into a saw-cut reglet in the mortar rather than a surface-mounted strip screwed to the face, the corners are soldered or folded rather than sealed with a tube, and the crown and the cap both get inspected while the staging is already up. Doing the metalwork properly once costs less than the three service calls that follow doing it quickly.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — board decking re-sheathed in 7/16-inch panel over the original planks, self-adhered membrane run up from the eave past the heated wall, laminate shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six fasteners per shingle in the common bond area, aluminum drip edge at the eave and the rake, counterflashing cut into a saw-cut reglet in brick — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Muncie and nearby communities including Yorktown, Selma, Eaton, Albany.

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 board decking re-sheathed in 7/16-inch panel over the original planks, self-adhered membrane run up from the eave past the heated wall, laminate shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six fasteners per shingle in the common bond area, 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 Muncie 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 East Central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Muncie Chooses Muncie Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the ownership horizon as well as the roof, because a house you intend to keep and a house you intend to rent for five more years deserve different specifications and a printed price difference between them
- ✓Inspections are written in the language of Muncie Code section 155.26, so the report works in front of the Building Commissioner, a lender, a tenant or a landlord who has not been answering the phone
- ✓Every proposal names the underlayment, the flashing metal, the fastener pattern and the intake-to-exhaust ventilation split, so two bids can actually be compared rather than guessed at
- ✓Indiana licenses no roofers and Muncie registers four trades that do not include roofing, so we lead with the permit number, the carrier's certificate and the photographs instead of a card

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
