Farmington Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Farmington, NM for residential and commercial properties across the San Juan Basin. There is a striking split in this county. Inside Farmington's city limits only about two percent of homes heat with wood, but across San Juan County as a whole it is closer to thirteen percent, and every one of those is a live flue passing through a roof.
Chimneys leak more than any other penetration we deal with, and the reason is structural. A chimney is a heavy masonry mass on its own footing while the roof framing is a lighter wood structure on a different one. They settle at different rates and in different directions, which means the joint between them is permanently working. Wood stoves are common in Blanco, Cedar Hill and out along the river where gas service never reached.
Sealant alone across that joint is guaranteed to fail, usually within three or four seasons. The correct assembly has two independent parts. Base and step flashing woven into the shingle courses and turned up the masonry, and a counter-flashing of its own, set into a reglet cut through the mortar joint, lapping over that upturn without being fastened to it. Freeze cycles make that movement worse, because the masonry and the framing respond at different rates.
The other chronic failure is a missing cricket. Masonry more than roughly two and a half feet wide, measured across the slope, has to have a framed saddle built behind it. That saddle divides runoff before either grit or snowmelt can pile against the brick. Skip it and the uphill face packs solid, then works water in behind the flashing each winter. Counter-flashing that is merely surface-sealed to the brick will pull loose within a few seasons here.
Metal flues have their own list. The storm collar wants a fresh bead of high-temperature sealant every few years and almost never gets one, the flashing cone cracks around the pipe, and the required clearance to combustibles gets quietly filled in by somebody insulating an attic. We check all three every time we are up there. A cricket also keeps blowing sand from packing into the joint, which is the local variation on the problem.
We also handle crowns and caps. A split crown admits water straight into the head of the stack, where freezing pushes the face off the brick from within, and an open flue without a rain cap simply pours down the liner. Both are small, cheap items that outlast almost anything else we could sell you. Flue clearance is a fire issue as much as a water issue, and we photograph what we find either way.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, SBS-modified bitumen cap sheet, heat-welded TPO seams — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington and nearby communities including Aztec, Bloomfield, Shiprock, Crouch Mesa.

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 high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, 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 Farmington 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 San Juan Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
