Overland Park Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Overland Park, KS for residential and commercial properties across the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro. If a roofer's answer to your chimney leak is a tube of sealant, you're looking at the signature move of a company that doesn't plan to be around when it fails. Caulk on a chimney buys about two years, and two years is a comfortable distance.
A chimney is the most demanding detail on a house roof, because it's a rigid masonry mass sitting in a roof plane that moves, and water arrives at it from three directions. Done properly it's a two-part system. Step flashing goes in woven course by course with the shingles, each piece lapped under the one above. Counterflashing then cuts into a mortar joint, folds down over the step flashing, and is sealed into the joint.
The point of that arrangement is that the two layers move independently. The roof can shift, the masonry can settle, and neither one tears the other's seal. What you get from the fast version is a single piece of metal, or no metal at all, sealed to the face of the brick with caulk. Brick face is porous and the sealant bond fails, so water runs behind it and into your ceiling.
The other detail that gets skipped is the cricket. A chimney measuring more than roughly thirty inches across the slope needs a small framed saddle on the uphill side to split water around it. Without one, the back of the chimney is a dam. Snowmelt and debris collect there, sit against the flashing, and work in. On the older Overland Park two-stories with wide masonry chimneys, this is the most common thing we find missing entirely.
We also want to be clear about the boundary of our work. We flash chimneys. We're not masons. If your leak is actually a failed crown, spalling brick, or open mortar joints in the stack above the roof line, flashing won't fix it, and we'll tell you that rather than selling you flashing that can't win. That's a call for a chimney and masonry contractor, and we'll say so on the spot.
When you get a quote, the specific question worth asking is whether the counterflashing is being cut into the mortar joints or surface-mounted. It's one question, it takes ten seconds, and the answer sorts contractors faster than anything else on this page.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment with a slip-resistant walking surface, six ring-shank nails set in the manufacturer's nailing zone, hemmed drip edge lapped over the eave membrane, step flashing woven course by course at sidewalls, counterflashing cut into chimney mortar joints — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Overland Park and nearby communities including Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood.

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 self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment with a slip-resistant walking surface, six ring-shank nails set in the manufacturer's nailing zone, hemmed drip edge lapped over the eave membrane, 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 Overland Park 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 Kansas side of the Kansas City metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Overland Park Chooses Overland Park Roof Pros
- ✓We hand you both numbers up front. The Kansas Attorney General registration certificate and the Johnson County Class DR roofing license are on the first page of every estimate, so you can look us up before you talk price.
- ✓We pull the permit. Kansas writes a roofer's registration number onto every permit issued, which makes the permit the one record of your roof that a third party created and that outlives any company.
- ✓We take payment on delivery, not on signature. Abandoning a job after taking a deposit is named in Kansas statute as grounds for revoking a registration, and we would rather not ask you to trust us on that point.
- ✓We turn down coatings on shingle roofs. It is the fastest, least verifiable job in roofing and the one a departing crew most wants to sell, so we decline it and explain why.
