Canton Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Canton, OH for residential and commercial properties across Stark County. Canton was a coal town and it shows on the roof. A lot of these houses carry two masonry chimneys, one for the furnace and one that served a kitchen or parlour stove, and most of the second ones have been unused since the gas conversion.
An unused chimney is still a hole in the roof and it is usually the leakiest one, because nobody has looked at it since the appliance came out. The crown has cracked, the top courses have lost mortar, and the counterflashing was face-nailed and caulked rather than let into a joint. Water goes down the flue, through the brick, and out somewhere entirely unrelated on the ceiling below. Nobody thinks to look at it.
We flash chimneys as two separate metals. Step flashing goes in woven, one piece to each course. Counterflashing goes into a raked mortar joint, held on lead wedges and sealed along its top edge only. That is what allows the roof and the masonry to move independently, and it is why a properly flashed chimney lasts as long as the roof does. Sealant along the bottom edge only traps water behind the metal.
Mortar comes first, always. Bedding new counterflashing into a joint that crumbles under a chisel is a two-year repair with a nice photograph. If the top courses need repointing or the crown needs recasting, that happens before any metal goes in, and we quote it that way rather than discovering it on the day. Type N mortar, matched for color, raked back to a real depth first.
Upslope, any stack over roughly thirty inches across gets a cricket. On these houses the cricket almost always drains into a valley that runs to the cornice trough, so we build and flash it to hand water off cleanly at that transition instead of dumping a concentrated stream into a lining seam. That is one of the few places a valley and a trough meet, and it deserves more metal than it usually gets.
Where a chimney is genuinely abandoned and structurally poor, dropping it to just under the sheathing and then framing and decking the hole is often cheaper and permanently better. We will price both and let you decide. Taking it down also leaves you a slope with one fewer thing on it, which on a small house is worth more than the chimney was.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soldered twenty-ounce copper box-gutter lining, fully adhered single-ply liner over a rebuilt gutter floor, cornice bed board carrying the trough beneath the rafter tails, scarfed rafter-tail sisters cut back to sound wood, penetrating epoxy consolidant on checked cornice stock, lock-seam conductor and cast collar at the trough outlet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Canton and nearby communities including Massillon, North Canton, Alliance, Louisville.

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 soldered twenty-ounce copper box-gutter lining, fully adhered single-ply liner over a rebuilt gutter floor, cornice bed board carrying the trough beneath the rafter tails, scarfed rafter-tail sisters cut back to sound wood, 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 Canton 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 Stark County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Canton Chooses Canton Roof Pros
- ✓We price the roof edge before the roof field, because on Canton's pre-war stock the built-in gutter is what decides the job
- ✓Every proposal quotes relining the trough and removing it side by side, with the maintenance cost of each stated
- ✓We will not hang seamless gutters under a live box gutter and call it a repair, and we will explain on site why that fix fails
- ✓We refuse to trowel roof cement or fibered coating into a wooden gutter, because sealing the top surface only makes the floor rot faster
