Jonesboro Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Jonesboro, AR for residential and commercial properties across northeast Arkansas. Chimneys leak because of how the flashing was built, not because of anything wrong with the brick. The correct assembly is two separate pieces of metal doing two different jobs, and almost every problem chimney we open up in this town has only one of them.
Base and step flashing goes under the shingles, one piece per course, turning up against the masonry. Above that, counter-flashing gets let into a mortar joint, then folded down over the step flashing and locked in. The two layers are deliberately not sealed to each other, which is exactly what allows the brick and the roof to move independently without opening a path for water.
What we usually find instead is a single strip of aluminum stuck to the brick face with roofing cement. That holds for a couple of Arkansas summers, then the cement goes hard and cracks along its top edge, and from that point the leak runs down behind the flashing where nobody standing in the yard can possibly see it happening. By then the sheathing has been wet a while.
A chimney wider than roughly thirty inches needs a cricket on the uphill side of it. Without one the chimney works as a small dam, collecting shingle grit, leaves and standing water at precisely the joint you least want holding any of the three. A cricket is framed and flashed once during the reroof, and then it never asks anybody for anything again.
The detail we care most about sits at the bottom corner, where a chimney or a wall meets the roof plane. That corner needs a kickout, a small piece of flashing that throws water out into the gutter instead of down inside the wall cladding. Missing kickouts are the most common serious defect we find on Jonesboro houses, and on a ridge lot they put concentrated water straight into the soil at the foundation corner.
Get it done with the reroof if you possibly can. Reflashing a chimney into an existing roof means cutting shingles back and reweaving them course by course, which costs more, takes longer, and never looks quite as clean as doing the same work while the plane is already open in front of you. Do it once, do it properly, and then forget the chimney exists for twenty years.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall corner, synthetic underlayment fastened with capped nails — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jonesboro and nearby communities including Paragould, Brookland, Bono, Bay.

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 six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, 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 Jonesboro 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 northeast Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jonesboro Chooses Jonesboro Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states where each downspout ends and what it lands on, because Jonesboro sits on a loess ridge and the soil at that point is the part of the system most likely to fail first.
- ✓We refuse to put drywells, pop-up emitters or buried infiltration on ridge lots. Loess sits over a fragipan around two feet down, so water put into the ground near the house cannot descend and travels sideways at footing depth instead.
- ✓Roof inspections here end at grade. We photograph headcuts, undermined splash blocks and exposed footings, and we tell you when a reported roof leak is actually ground water rather than selling you a roof.
- ✓Metal roofs only leave here with a full gutter package on a sloped lot, because a smooth panel delivers the same rainfall in a shorter, harder pulse and an unguttered drip line cuts a trench in erodible silt.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Jonesboro 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.
