Lakewood Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Lakewood, CO for residential and commercial properties across the west Denver metro. If our climate has a signature failure, this is it. A chimney is masonry moving on one schedule, meeting a roof deck moving on another, and the joint between the two is where most Lakewood roofs eventually give up and let water in.
The wrong way to build that joint is with sealant across the face of the brick. It looks finished on the day and holds for two or three years, then the daily cycle breaks the bond on the masonry side, because sealant on a porous surface has the weaker of its two grips there. Every spring somebody reapplies it. That is a subscription rather than a repair.
The right way to build it is geometry. Step flashing woven into every shingle course up both sides, an apron at the front, a proper back pan, and counterflashing whose top edge is cut into a groove in the mortar joint, folded in, and locked with lead wedges before anything is sealed. Water reaching that assembly meets metal turned uphill into solid masonry. Nothing depends on adhesion to survive.
A cricket belongs behind any chimney wide enough to hold snow against its uphill face, which in this city is most of them. Without one, snow piles against the back pan, sits for weeks in shade and freezes into the detail least able to shed it. A site-built cricket in hemmed metal costs a fraction of the damage it prevents, and we quote it as part of the job.
Masonry condition is part of the same conversation. Freezing works on mortar joints and on a chimney crown as hard as it works on flashing, and a cracked crown or spalled brick feeds water into a chase no flashing can stop. Sometimes the honest answer is that you need a mason before you need a roofer, and we would rather delay our own work than flash over failing brick.
Metal chases get their own treatment. A rusted or dead-flat chase cover ponds meltwater, so we replace it with a sloped, cross-broken cover in stainless or a heavier gauge, with a proper drip edge and a rain collar at the flue rather than a bead of sealant. It is the cheapest permanent fix available on a chimney, it takes an afternoon, and almost nobody offers it unprompted because it does not sound like much on a proposal.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — counterflashing cut into a mortar reglet, lead pipe-boot flashings with fastened storm collars, ASTM C920 Class 50 polyurethane joint sealant, 24-gauge hemmed valley pans, concealed-clip standing seam steel panels, heat-welded TPO target patches at penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Lakewood and nearby communities including Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Edgewater.

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 counterflashing cut into a mortar reglet, lead pipe-boot flashings with fastened storm collars, ASTM C920 Class 50 polyurethane joint sealant, 24-gauge hemmed valley pans, 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 Lakewood 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 west Denver metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Lakewood Chooses Lakewood Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal itemizes flashing, pipe boots, valley metal and edge metal as separate lines, so a low bid cannot hide what it left out
- ✓We inspect the attic on every call, because a large share of Lakewood ceiling stains are winter condensation rather than a roof leak
- ✓Cold-weather work is mechanically fastened and hand-sealed by design, and we say so in writing instead of trusting adhesive that will not bond
- ✓We quote the smaller repair when the field does not need replacing, and put the reasoning in the estimate rather than in a conversation
