Dothan Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Dothan, AL for residential and commercial properties across the Wiregrass. A chimney is the tallest obstruction on most roofs and the wind knows it. Air separates around the stack and reattaches downslope, which is why the shingles just behind a chimney are often the most beaten-up field on an otherwise sound Dothan roof.
The leak itself is nearly always the flashing rather than the brick. Two pieces, always: step flashing woven in course by course as the shingles go down, and counterflashing cut into a raked mortar joint above it. One piece of metal bedded in a bead of sealant is a two-year repair, and we find a great many of them out here on houses that have changed hands once or twice.
A stack measuring more than roughly thirty inches across its upslope face needs a cricket built in behind it. Skip it and the upslope face turns into a dam, trapping water, pine straw and grit against the brick through every summer storm, and no quantity of sealant has ever solved a drainage problem. Crickets get framed, sheathed and flashed the way a small roof would be, and they belong in the base scope.
We check the crown while we are up there because looking costs nothing. A crown with cracks in it feeds water into the brick from the top down, and that eventually surfaces as a stain inside which reads exactly like a flashing leak to anybody standing in the hallway. Telling those two apart before anybody buys anything saves a completely wasted repair and a second round of scaffolding.
Where we hand off is honest and firm. If the stack needs rebuilding, repointing or a fresh crown poured, that is masonry work and a mason should do it rather than a roofer with a bag of mortar. If there is a live gas appliance venting through it, the fuel question gets settled by a licensed mechanical contractor before we touch the top of that chimney at all.
What we will do is the roof side, done properly, and we will time it around the mason rather than flashing into brick that is about to be torn down and rebuilt. Sequencing that badly is how people end up paying for the same flashing twice, and it takes exactly one phone call between the two trades to avoid it. We make that call ourselves rather than leaving it to you.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hemmed edge metal locked to a continuous cleat, nails driven through the common bond of every shingle, gable-end deck re-nailing at four inches on center, soffit panels clipped into a fastened receiver channel, starter course carried up both rakes, standing-seam panels on floating clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Dothan and nearby communities including Rehobeth, Cowarts, Taylor, Kinsey.

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 hemmed edge metal locked to a continuous cleat, nails driven through the common bond of every shingle, gable-end deck re-nailing at four inches on center, soffit panels clipped into a fastened receiver channel, 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 Dothan 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 Wiregrass means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Dothan Chooses Dothan Premium Roofing
- ✓Houston County sits in the federal wind zone that asks the least, sixteen miles from Florida counties that ask far more, and we detail for the storm rather than the zone
- ✓Every proposal lists an edge-metal profile, a fastener count and a deck-nailing schedule before it lists a shingle brand
- ✓We decline to sell impact-rated glazing and Class 4 shingles here, because neither the debris region nor the local hail record supports the premium
- ✓Gable-end and corner sheathing gets re-nailed at four inches on center, since that is where a hurricane eighty miles inland begins taking a deck apart
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Dothan follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
