Revere Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Revere, MA for residential and commercial properties across Boston's inner North Shore. Chimneys cause more leaks on these roofs than any other single detail, and many of the chimneys causing them are doing no work at all. Conversions to gas and to modern venting left these buildings with a brick stack running up through the roof purely out of habit.
That changes the sensible recommendation. Reflashing a live chimney properly is real work worth paying for: step flashing woven one piece to each shingle course, counterflashing let into a raked mortar joint and repointed afterward, and a cricket framed behind any stack wide enough to dam water and snow against its back face. Done that way it lasts for decades without attention. A cricket is framing work and it belongs on the quote as framing work.
But if the stack is genuinely dead, the better spend is frequently to take it down below the roof plane, frame and deck the opening, and delete the detail from the building altogether. You lose nothing you were using, you remove the leak permanently, and you also remove the freeze-and-thaw damage an unlined, uncapped brick stack keeps inflicting on itself above the roofline every winter. Owners are usually surprised how much cheaper that route is.
Before recommending that we check what the stack still serves, because a chimney that looks abandoned sometimes still vents an old water heater in a basement nobody visits. On a multi-family building it may serve an appliance inside a unit you never enter. That check happens first, in writing, before anything at all is quoted or scheduled. A gas fitter checks that faster than we can and we will wait for one.
Where a chimney stays, mortar condition drives the price more than the flashing does. Soft, weathered joints will not hold a reglet cut, so repointing comes first and flashing second. Surface-mounted counterflashing sealed onto a failing brick face is a two-year repair being sold as a permanent one, and we would rather do the masonry properly.
On three-family work all of this sits inside the base-code permit along with the rest of the roof, so a chimney scope is not a side job done on a handshake at the curb. It goes on the same application, under the same supervisor, and it gets the same inspection. Handshakes are how chimneys end up unpermitted.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an unrestricted CSL number entered on a three-unit permit application, a granulated SBS cap sheet bedded in cold adhesive, tapered EPS crickets built behind a rear chimney stack, a shingle-to-membrane transition worked into the mansard eave line, a party-wall parapet capped in 20-ounce lead-coated copper, two-piece surface counterflashing screwed to a brick firewall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Revere and nearby communities including Chelsea, Winthrop, Everett, Malden.

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 an unrestricted CSL number entered on a three-unit permit application, a granulated SBS cap sheet bedded in cold adhesive, tapered EPS crickets built behind a rear chimney stack, a shingle-to-membrane transition worked into the mansard eave line, 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 Revere 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 Boston's inner North Shore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Revere Chooses Revere Roof Pros
- ✓We establish the dwelling unit count before quoting, because it decides the code path, the license class and the paperwork, and most bids in this city never mention it at all.
- ✓Our estimates carry the Construction Supervisor License number and its restriction class, so you can check that the person signing your permit is actually allowed to sign it.
- ✓We write scopes with quantities and fastener patterns so you can take our document to two other roofers and receive numbers that describe the same roof.
- ✓Inspection fees are billed and stay billed, never netted off a later job, because that is the only way to be certain the report you receive is an opinion and not a pitch.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Revere 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.
