Oceanside Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing & counterflashing in Oceanside, CA for residential and commercial properties across north San Diego County. A chimney is four flashings and a lot of opportunities. Front apron, step flashing up both sides, a back pan or cricket, and counterflashing covering the top edge of all of them. Skip one and you have a chase problem dressed up as a roof problem.
The version specific to the houses here is a chimney or a stucco chase that lands right at the break between a pitched run and a flat section. Water coming down the slope arrives at the chase, the flat membrane comes up the chase wall, and the two details have to interlock rather than merely touch. We run the membrane up first, terminate it, then bring the slope's step flashing and counterflashing over that termination.
Counterflashing is where most repairs live. Done right the metal is let into a reglet cut into the mortar joint or stucco, folded, and sealed with a polyurethane rather than a silicone so it stays paintable and stays flexible. Surface-mounted metal glued to stucco with a bead of caulk is a two-year detail, and we replace a lot of it. Reglets get cut with a grinder and a dust shroud.
Crickets are not optional above about thirty inches of chimney width. Without one, the back pan collects debris, holds water against the masonry, and the mortar joints there fail first. We frame the cricket, sheathe it, apply self-adhered membrane, then flash it into the chase and the field. That sheathing gets the same treatment as a valley, because a cricket is a valley with a shorter run.
Kick-out flashing at the bottom of a step run is the smallest part of this job and causes some of the worst damage when it is missing. Without it water runs off the roof edge and straight into the wall cavity behind the stucco, and the first sign is often a stain on an interior wall a floor below. It costs a piece of metal and ten minutes to do right.
Masonry work gets called out separately when it is what actually needs doing. A cracked crown, an open head joint, or a spalled brick face lets water in above every flashing we could install, and sealing the roof will not fix any of it. We say so plainly and refer the masonry rather than caulk over it and hand you a warranty.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — torch-applied APP modified bitumen, two-ply SBS granulated cap sheet, sixty-mil hot-air-welded PVC membrane, tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, hot-mop built-up roofing with gravel surface, mineral-surfaced rolled roofing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Oceanside and nearby communities including Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Encinitas.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing & counterflashing
The difference between chimney flashing & counterflashing that lasts and chimney flashing & counterflashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with torch-applied APP modified bitumen, two-ply SBS granulated cap sheet, sixty-mil hot-air-welded PVC membrane, tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, 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 Oceanside 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 north San Diego County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
