Alpharetta Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Alpharetta, GA for residential and commercial properties across north Fulton County. The code sizes a chimney cricket by roof slope, which tells you most of what you need to know. The steeper the plane, the taller the saddle that has to be framed in behind the chimney, and the more of it there is to get wrong.
The rule itself is plain enough. Any chimney more than thirty inches wide, measured across the slope, needs a cricket on its upslope side. Alpharetta has a great many brick chimneys and framed chases wider than that on planes of ten in twelve and steeper, and a great many of them have a bead of black tar where a framed saddle is supposed to be.
Steep planes make the consequence worse. They concentrate runoff into a narrow, fast stream at the back of the chimney, and without a cricket that stream stalls against the masonry, holds pine litter and finds the joint between counterflashing and brick. On a shallow roof the same detail leaks slowly. On a steep one it leaks decisively. Pine litter from the surrounding hardwood and pine mix does the rest of the damage.
A correct chimney is four separate things. A framed and sheathed cricket. Base and step flashing woven course by course into the shingles. Counterflashing cut into a mortar reglet and wedged. A crown or cap that actually sheds. Only the counterflashing is sealed, and the sealant closes a joint rather than creating one. Sealant is the last thing to go on and the first thing people reach for.
All of it sits mid-plane, which is the least reachable place on any roof, and that is precisely why chimney flashing is the most commonly bodged detail in north Fulton. Reaching it properly means anchors and staging. Reaching it improperly means a caulk gun on the end of a long arm from a ladder that is nowhere near the thing being caulked. That single detail probably causes more interior damage in this city than storms do.
So chimney flashing belongs inside the replacement scope, always, including when it is not leaking yet. Doing it afterwards means lifting courses that were just laid. Doing it separately means paying the entire access cost for one detail. If your roof is being replaced and the estimate does not itemise the cricket, ask why before you sign it. A cricket costs a fraction of the ceiling it protects.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — roof bracket scaffolds built to the plane, ridge-hooked crawling boards, rafter-anchored personal fall arrest points, hand-sealed courses above twenty-one in twelve, six-nail fastening with ASTM D4586 cement spots, double underlayment below four in twelve — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Alpharetta and nearby communities including Roswell, Johns Creek, Milton, Sandy Springs.

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 roof bracket scaffolds built to the plane, ridge-hooked crawling boards, rafter-anchored personal fall arrest points, hand-sealed courses above twenty-one in twelve, 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 Alpharetta 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 north Fulton County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
