Toms River Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Toms River, NJ for residential and commercial properties across the Ocean County shore. A masonry chimney and a wood-framed roof move differently at the best of times. Put the whole structure on jacks, carry it up eight feet and set it on new columns, and the joint between the two is the first place we look afterwards.
Sometimes the chimney was taken down and rebuilt as part of the elevation, which is clean. Sometimes it was carried with the house, which is also fine if it was braced properly. Sometimes it was cut off below the roof line and the flue reworked, and what is left up there is a framed chase with siding on it, which needs an entirely different flashing than masonry does.
What we will not accept on any of those is a bead of sealant around a chimney. Roof cement smeared into the brick joint is the single most common thing we find and the single most common cause of the interior stain that brought us out. It lasts two seasons, it fails from underneath where nobody can see it, and it makes the proper repair messier.
The correct assembly is two pieces. Step flashing set one piece to a course, running the full height on either side. A soldered or hemmed front apron. Behind any stack over roughly thirty inches wide, a cricket, so water divides across it instead of standing on the brick. Counterflashing let into a saw-kerf reglet cut in the bed joint, then folded down to lap the step below it. Sealed at the reglet, mechanically held everywhere else.
On this coast we specify the metal by what salt does to it. Rust bleeds down brick long before the joint itself fails. Aluminum is fine against most brick and is what we usually use. Lead-coated copper is better and priced accordingly. What does not belong within sight of the bay is galvanised steel in contact with wet masonry, and it is what we pull off more chimneys around here than anything else.
If the crown is cracked and the top courses are spalling, flashing will not save it, and we will give you the order of operations instead of a quote. Masonry repair first, then flashing, then the roof detail, and each of them done by whoever actually holds that trade. Flashing a chimney that is going to be rebuilt next spring is work you pay for twice.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 316-grade stainless gutter hangers, hemmed aluminum drip edge over a self-adhered eave strip, pile-mounted downspout leaders, 26-gauge aluminum standing seam with concealed clips, ASTM D3161 Class F wind-rated laminates, granulated SBS cap sheet in a self-adhered two-ply system — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Toms River and nearby communities including Beachwood, South Toms River, Pine Beach, Ocean Gate.

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 316-grade stainless gutter hangers, hemmed aluminum drip edge over a self-adhered eave strip, pile-mounted downspout leaders, 26-gauge aluminum standing seam with concealed clips, 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 Toms River 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 the Ocean County shore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
