Midland Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Midland, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Permian Basin. Almost every chimney leak we open up in Midland comes down to the same thing: a sealant joint that was asked to be a permanent detail in a climate where no sealant is permanent. The fix is metal, cut into the masonry.
The common installation is surface-mounted counterflashing with a bead of caulk along its top edge against the brick. In moderate weather that lasts. Here the joint gets full sun, forty-degree daily swings, and air dry enough to pull plasticizer out of the sealant, so the bead shrinks, checks and releases from one face. Water then runs behind the flashing into the wall while the roof around it stays perfectly dry, which is why people blame the shingles.
The durable version is a two-piece system. Step flashing is woven into the shingle courses on each side, then counterflashing drops into a reglet cut through the mortar joint, gets mechanically fastened, and is sealed as a secondary line of defense rather than the primary one. If the sealant fails in ten years the metal is still doing its job, which is the entire point.
Crowns need attention on the same visit. A thin mortar wash cracks under thermal movement and lets water into the top of the masonry, where it does damage no flashing can prevent. We rebuild crowns with a reinforced cap that overhangs the brick and carries a drip edge, and we fit a flue cap where one is missing. An open flue takes in blowing sand all year and drops it onto the damper.
On the upslope face of any chimney wider than about thirty inches, a cricket belongs there. Skip it and the back wall works as a dam, catching whatever sand and debris the wind delivers all year, and that pile holds moisture against the masonry every time it does rain. A framed and flashed saddle sheds both.
Chase covers on framed chimneys get the same scrutiny. A flat galvanized cover ponds, rusts through, and drips into the chase, and we replace them with a sloped stainless or aluminum cover carrying proper drip edges and a cricketed high side. Chases are framed, so water getting in there reaches sheathing and studs rather than masonry. It is worth doing while a crew is already up on the roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, granule embedment and mineral surfacing, synthetic underlayment with plastic cap nails, high-temperature self-adhered valley membrane, 24-gauge striated standing seam with concealed clips, fluoropolymer paint finishes on metal panels — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Midland and nearby communities including Odessa, West Odessa, Big Spring, Andrews.

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 SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, granule embedment and mineral surfacing, synthetic underlayment with plastic cap nails, high-temperature self-adhered valley 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 Midland 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 Permian Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
