Ogden Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Ogden, UT for residential and commercial properties across Weber County and the northern Wasatch Front. Chimneys leak more than any other penetration on an Ogden roof, and in the older core they carry a second problem that is not a roofing problem at all but has to be raised before anyone spends money on flashing.
Take the flashing first. A correct chimney detail uses two separate pieces of metal. Step flashing weaves into the shingle courses. Counterflashing is a separate piece let into a cut mortar joint, folded down over the step flashing. What we find instead is one bent piece of metal caulked to the brick face. Caulk is a maintenance product with a short service life, and using it as the primary seal is why the chimney leaks again.
Crickets are the other common omission. A chimney broad enough to trap snow and debris above it wants a framed cricket to split the water around both sides. The code trigger is thirty inches of width, and we will build one below that threshold when the geometry and the snow load argue for it, because forty-three to fifty pounds of ground snow piling against a flat brick face finds its way inside eventually, usually through the mortar.
Now the part that gets skipped. Ogden City lists seismic design categories D, E and F. A large share of the housing here predates 1950, so unreinforced masonry chimneys are common, and a brick chimney above the roof line is the classic seismic hazard. If your chimney is leaning, has open joints or is spalling badly, we will recommend a mason before we recommend flashing. Flashing a chimney that needs rebuilding is money thrown away twice.
Where the chimney is sound we reflash properly and completely. New step flashing on new courses, counterflashing let into a freshly cut reglet, a cricket where one is warranted, and no reliance on sealant to do a metal's job. We photograph each layer as it goes on, because once the last course is down none of it is visible again and you have only our word for what is underneath.
For a flue nobody uses any more, taking the stack down below the deck and framing the hole shut is frequently the cheapest permanent answer, and in this city it removes a wind and seismic liability at the same time. We raise it whenever it applies, and on a flue that nobody uses any more it is very often the right call.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an enhanced nailing schedule keyed to the corner and perimeter wind zones, asphalt shingles carrying an ASTM D3161 Class F rating, hemmed edge metal locked onto a continuous cleat at the eave and rake, mechanically seamed 24-gauge standing seam with a double-lock rib, gable-end trusses braced back into the attic framing, sheathing re-nailed to the rafters on the courses inboard of each rake — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ogden and nearby communities including Roy, North Ogden, South Ogden, Riverdale.

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 enhanced nailing schedule keyed to the corner and perimeter wind zones, asphalt shingles carrying an ASTM D3161 Class F rating, hemmed edge metal locked onto a continuous cleat at the eave and rake, mechanically seamed 24-gauge standing seam with a double-lock rib, 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 Ogden 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 Weber County and the northern Wasatch Front means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Ogden Chooses Ogden Roof Pros
- ✓Every inspection starts on the east-facing planes and the rakes, because that is the side a Wasatch downslope wind loads and the side most reports skip entirely.
- ✓We state which exposure category we think your address sits in and why, because Ogden City's own design criteria lists B or C and leaves the choice to the person doing the work.
- ✓Corner and perimeter zones get an enhanced nailing schedule as standard. It buys more real uplift resistance per dollar than upgrading to a thicker shingle does.
- ✓Soffit and gable-end bracing get checked on every wind call, because a soffit that blows in pressurizes the attic and lifts the deck from underneath before the shingles ever fail.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Ogden 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.
