Elko Roof Pros provides professional chimney and wall flashing in Elko, NV for residential and commercial properties across northeastern Nevada. Wood heat is ordinary in this county, which makes chimneys ordinary, which makes the chimney the single most common leak we get called to on a house that is otherwise in good shape.
Masonry and freeze cycles are a poor match. Brick and mortar take up the meltwater that runs down the roof plane into the base of the stack, hold it, and then lose their faces in flakes when it freezes overnight. Once the mortar joints have opened, the chimney itself is the leak and no amount of work at the roof line fixes it.
The flashing assembly around it is nearly always the other half. Done properly, step flashing is woven in course by course as the roofing goes on, and a separate counterflashing is set into a saw-cut groove in the mortar and sealed with a compatible product. What we usually find instead is a single piece of bent aluminum surface-caulked to the brick face, which lasts about as long as the caulk.
The saddle matters more here than in most places. The residential code calls for a cricket above any chimney measuring more than 30 inches across, and in a snow climate that saddle keeps a drift from parking against the masonry for six weeks and soaking it. We build them framed and metal-clad rather than shimmed out of shingles, and we would rather build one on a narrow stack than skip one on a wide stack.
Walls get the same attention. Where a roof plane dies into a two-story wall, or where a dormer cheek meets the roof, the bottom of that run needs a kickout to throw water into the gutter instead of behind the siding. Missing kickouts are the reason we find rotten sheathing on walls that have a perfectly good roof sitting above them and no history of leaks.
One boundary on our scope: everything outside the flue is ours. Cracked liners, draft problems and combustion work go to a certified chimney sweep, and we hand you a name instead of pretending the two trades are one. If a stack is no longer used at all, which happens as houses convert to gas, the cheapest honest answer is usually to drop the stack below the roof line and sheet over the hole.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered eave and valley ice barrier, cap-nailed synthetic dry-in sheet, concealed-clip snap-lock steel panel, snow retention rails above entries, open metal valley flashing, counterflashing let into a cut reglet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Elko and nearby communities including Spring Creek, Carlin, Wells, West Wendover.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney and wall flashing
The difference between chimney and wall flashing that lasts and chimney and wall flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with self-adhered eave and valley ice barrier, cap-nailed synthetic dry-in sheet, concealed-clip snap-lock steel panel, snow retention rails above entries, 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 Elko 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 northeastern Nevada means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Elko Chooses Elko Roof Pros
- ✓We date your roof to the construction wave that built it, because boom-era work here has predictable habits and knowing them shortens the diagnosis considerably.
- ✓Every replacement goes to bare deck. Nobody in this valley can certify a structure or a fastening pattern through a second layer of covering, so we do not pretend otherwise.
- ✓Ice barrier runs past the code minimum on north exposures and low pitches, and we charge for the extra roll rather than argue about the leak two winters later.
- ✓Cold-season installs are hand-sealed course by course with asphalt cement, and that line appears on your contract so an adjuster can read it later.
The standards behind chimney and wall flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney and wall flashing work we do in Elko 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.
Every chimney and wall flashing project in Elko gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
