Green Bay Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Green Bay, WI for residential and commercial properties across northeast Wisconsin. A chimney is a masonry block sitting in the middle of a snow-covered slope, and everything the wind moves down that slope stops behind it. That is why the back side is where chimney leaks nearly always start in this county.
The fix is a cricket, and it is not optional on a wide chimney. A framed saddle behind the stack splits the drift and the meltwater and sends both around the sides instead of letting them pond against the brick. On anything over thirty inches wide we price one whether the previous roofer built one or not. A cricket also gives meltwater somewhere to go before it freezes at the shingle line.
Flashing is two separate systems that people confuse. Step flashing is woven into the shingle courses up both sides, one piece per course, and it belongs to the roof. Counter-flashing is cut into a mortar joint, folded and sealed, and it belongs to the masonry. Sealant smeared over the top of brick is neither, and it is what we find most often. The two together keep a chimney dry; either one alone will not.
Older Green Bay houses add a second problem. Many still have an unlined or a clay-lined chimney serving an appliance that no longer suits it, and the crown is cracked from decades of freezing. We will flash the roof properly and tell you plainly when the crown, the cap or the liner is the real issue and needs a mason. Many of those stacks were built for coal and then adapted for oil.
Where a chimney is disused, taking it down to below the roof line and framing over the opening is often the better purchase. It removes the drift catcher, the flashing maintenance and the crown all at once, and it usually costs less than rebuilding the stack above the roof. The framing over the opening is insulated and air-sealed while it is open. It is a genuine saving rather than a shortcut.
Everything we open gets photographed before it is closed, so you can see the condition of the brick behind the metal rather than taking our word for what was under there. Photographs of a chimney's back side are the ones that settle arguments. We also photograph the crown from a ladder so you can see its condition.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ridge vent with external baffles certified to TAS 100 (A), aluminium soffit vent strip fastened at twelve inches on centre, two-stage soffit intake with an expansion chamber and structural baffle, filtered weather media behind a ridge vent, profiled foam and vented ridge closures on standing seam, gooseneck relief hoods with extended throats — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Green Bay and nearby communities including De Pere, Howard, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue.

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 ridge vent with external baffles certified to TAS 100 (A), aluminium soffit vent strip fastened at twelve inches on centre, two-stage soffit intake with an expansion chamber and structural baffle, filtered weather media behind a ridge vent, 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 Green Bay 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 Wisconsin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Green Bay Chooses Green Bay Roof Pros
- ✓We photograph the top of the attic insulation before we look at the shingles, because in this city the March ceiling stain usually started as snow that blew in through a vent
- ✓Every ventilation proposal names the vent model and its wind-driven precipitation certification, not just a net free area figure
- ✓On a wind-exposed roof we will reduce the number of openings rather than add them, and we put the reasoning in writing
- ✓Perforated vinyl soffit in J-channel is not our default intake — we price a fastened metal vent strip or a two-stage baffled intake instead
