Surprise Roof Pros provides professional chimney & chase flashing in Surprise, AZ for residential and commercial properties across the West Valley. Very few Surprise homes have a masonry chimney. What they have is a framed chase, stucco or siding over wood, with a direct-vent gas fireplace inside it and a sheet-metal cap on top. Everything that leaks about a chimney here leaks differently because of that.
The cap is the first suspect. A builder-grade galvanised chase cap is usually flat or nearly flat, with no drip edge and a single seam, so it ponds, rusts through at the seam and lets water straight down the inside of the chase. A replacement should be sloped, cross-broken to shed water, with a hemmed drip edge standing off the stucco. A chase cap is cheap to replace and one of the highest-return repairs on a tract roof.
Then the flashing where the chase meets tile. On the upslope side a chase wider than about thirty inches needs a cricket, a small framed diverter that splits water around it, because a flat run of metal behind a wide chase will hold silt and water every monsoon. Many tract chases were built without one and leak on exactly that side.
The rest is a pan and counterflashing system, not caulk. A formed pan flashing goes under the tile and up the chase wall, step flashing laps up the sides, and the counterflashing is let into a cut reglet in the stucco and sealed there. Surface-sealing metal to stucco is the most common failed detail we take apart, and it is why the leak came back.
Where there is real masonry, on the older custom homes and the ranch properties out toward Wickenburg and Morristown, we deal with the things masonry does: a cracked crown, spalling brick, a missing rain cap, deteriorated mortar joints, and a flue liner that needs a look before anyone reseals anything on top of it. A masonry chimney also needs its flashing checked at the shoulders, where the profile changes.
Interior stains near a fireplace are worth investigating even when the drywall is dry now. Water running inside a chase wets framing you cannot see, and the same opening that lets it in lets rodents and birds into the chase. We photograph the inside of the chase from the top before we close it up. Chase framing that is already soft gets rebuilt before a new cap goes on it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — two-ply #30 felt underlayment, self-adhered SBS-modified cap sheet, high-temperature synthetic underlayment, lightweight concrete tile, double-crimped 26-gauge W-valley metal, elevated batten drainage — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Surprise and nearby communities including Sun City West, Sun City, El Mirage, Youngtown.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney & chase flashing
The difference between chimney & chase flashing that lasts and chimney & chase flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with two-ply #30 felt underlayment, self-adhered SBS-modified cap sheet, high-temperature synthetic underlayment, lightweight concrete tile, 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 Surprise 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 West Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Surprise Chooses Surprise Roof Pros
- ✓We lift tile in three to five deliberate places on every inspection and photograph the felt underneath, because the drainage plane is what leaks and you cannot see it from a ladder.
- ✓You get a lift-and-relay quote and a full re-roof quote side by side, with the tile count, breakage allowance, decking contingency and underlayment specification written down.
- ✓We will not spray a coating or a tile sealer over a concrete tile field. It does not reach the leak path and it makes your next underlayment job more expensive.
- ✓We stock the three common West Valley tile profiles, so broken tile gets matched to what is on your roof instead of approximated with the nearest thing on the truck.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
