Chimney flashing fails fast in Dallas because summer heat pushes metal to expand then contract during mild winters. This cracks the sealant around the base every few years. We see it most on older homes in East Dallas and Lake Highlands where original lead flashing has thinned from decades of UV and rain.
Cheap crews often skip the counter flashing and just slap on sealant. That leaks again inside two seasons. We always cut a reglet into the masonry, slip in new step flashing, and counter it properly so water sheds away from the chimney stack.
Dallas code requires permits for any roof work that touches the deck. We pull those permits and schedule inspections so your repair stays legal. In Uptown Dallas and Deep Ellum, tight access on older brick homes adds time but we plan for it.
