Little Rock Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Little Rock, AR for residential and commercial properties across Central Arkansas. Chimneys interrupt the field of the roof, and the instruction has a great deal to say about how that interruption is closed. Step flashing interleaved one piece per course, a separate counter piece cut into the masonry above it, and a cricket behind any chimney wider than thirty inches.
Thirty inches is a real threshold rather than a rule of thumb, and it is the one most often ignored on Little Rock houses. A wide chimney with no cricket dams water and debris on its upslope side. Loblolly needles pack in against the brick, hold moisture there through a humid summer, and the deck behind the chimney rots while the rest of the roof stays sound.
Counterflashing is the other habitual shortcut. Surface-mounted metal caulked to brick is not counterflashing. It is a bead of sealant with a metal backing, and Central Arkansas mortar joints, with fifty inches of rain a year and a real freeze cycle working on them, will open that joint inside a few seasons, no matter what the tube of sealant claimed on the label.
We cut a reglet into the mortar joint, set the counter piece into it with lead wedges and repoint the joint afterwards. It takes longer, it costs more, and it is the whole difference between a flashing repair that lasts as long as the roof does and one that lasts as long as a tube of sealant, which in this climate is not very long.
Prefabricated chases get their own treatment. The framed chases on houses built here since the eighties are usually capped in thin galvanized sheet with a flat top and no cross break, which ponds, rusts through at the low point, then feeds water down inside the chase itself where no one will ever see it. A stainless cap with a break and a proper drip edge ends that permanently.
We will also tell you when the leak is masonry rather than roofing. A cracked crown, spalled brick faces or an unlined flue will carry water down inside the stack and deliver it to a ceiling, and no amount of flashing work will stop that. In those cases you want a mason first and us afterwards, in that order, and we will happily wait rather than flash over a problem we cannot fix and cannot warrant.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — the covering maker's printed application instruction, the reinforced nailing band stamped across the shingle face, purpose-made rake starter instead of a cut field shingle, accessory pairing required before a system warranty issues, the one-in-150 net free ventilating area and its one-in-300 exception, two-ply underlayment on planes under four in twelve — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Little Rock and nearby communities including North Little Rock, Conway, Benton, Sherwood.

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 the covering maker's printed application instruction, the reinforced nailing band stamped across the shingle face, purpose-made rake starter instead of a cut field shingle, accessory pairing required before a system warranty issues, 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 Little Rock 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 Central Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Little Rock Chooses Little Rock Premium Roofing
- ✓We build to the covering maker's printed application instruction and name the revision on the proposal, because the residential code adopts that document by reference.
- ✓Nail placement inside the printed band, count per shingle and fastener depth are photographed plane by plane, while they are still visible.
- ✓Ventilation is priced before shingle grade, because the shingle warranty depends on net free area and most roofs in this market are short of intake.
- ✓We inspect from the attic first, since fastener rust, plank delamination and daylight at the eave predict the next five years better than the surface does.
