Fernley Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Fernley, NV for residential and commercial properties across northern Lyon County. Say chimney flashing and most people picture brick and mortar and a lead counterflashing let into a joint. Very few Fernley houses have that. What we work on here is a framed chase with siding, a sheet metal cap and a factory flue, and it fails in its own way.
The chase cap is the part that goes first. Builders in this era used light gauge galvanized sheet with a soldered or lapped seam and no cross break, so the pan is effectively flat. It ponds, it oil-cans in the daily temperature swing, the seam works open, and the fasteners holding it down back out over time. Water then enters at the top of the chase and travels down inside the framing, well away from the roof.
That is why a chase leak often presents as a wall stain rather than a ceiling stain, and why people spend money on the roof around the chimney when the problem was six feet higher. We check the cap first on every one of these, and it is the single most common finding on a chase-style chimney in this housing stock.
Replacement caps get fabricated in heavier gauge with a cross break for positive drainage, a hemmed and cleated drip edge on all four sides, a proper collar around the flue with a storm collar above it, and stainless fasteners with sealing washers set into the top surface only where unavoidable. That assembly costs a modest amount and it ends the problem permanently.
On the roof plane itself the rules are the same everywhere but the execution is not. Step flashing is installed one piece to each shingle course, woven in as the roof goes on, never as a continuous L-strip run down the side and sealed with caulk. Counterflashing laps over the steps and terminates into the chase siding rather than sitting on top of it, so movement does not open a joint.
Any chimney wider than about thirty inches gets a cricket on the uphill side, and on this side of the valley there is a second reason for it beyond shedding water. A flat uphill face collects blown debris that packs into a dam against the flashing, then holds moisture there when rain finally arrives. A cricket keeps that corner clear on its own, which is worth more here than it looks on a plan.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-nail fastening in the common bond area, self-sealing strip architectural laminate shingles, 24-gauge standing seam on tightened clip spacing, synthetic underlayment dried in with cap nails, hemmed drip edge and continuous rake cleat, peel-and-stick membrane at valleys and penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fernley and nearby communities including Silver Springs, Dayton, Stagecoach, Yerington.

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-nail fastening in the common bond area, self-sealing strip architectural laminate shingles, 24-gauge standing seam on tightened clip spacing, synthetic underlayment dried in with cap nails, 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 Fernley 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 northern Lyon County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fernley Chooses Fernley Roof Pros
- ✓Every estimate reports compass heading, pitch, fastener condition, sealant bond and remaining life for each plane separately, so you can see which surface is actually driving the cost.
- ✓Fastening is specified by exposure. Loaded planes get six nails in the common bond, starter up both rakes and hand-sealed courses; sheltered planes get the manufacturer standard.
- ✓We refuse work that does not help. No coatings over shingles, no impact-rated upsell in a town without hail, and no exposed-fastener panel on a dwelling in this wind.
- ✓Leak diagnosis is done by running water uphill from below the suspected course, which reproduces how wind actually drives water here instead of how a garden hose normally behaves.
