Santa Fe Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Santa Fe, NM for residential and commercial properties across northern New Mexico. The leak showing at your chimney usually did not start at your chimney. On a stuccoed Santa Fe house the water is far more often entering where the stucco wall stops at the roof, then running along the deck until the first penetration gives it somewhere to go down.
The state code names the fix precisely. Section 2512.1.3 requires a reglet and weep screed, or equivalent metal flashing, wherever stucco wall surfaces terminate at a roof. It is the single most commonly missed detail on this town's housing stock, because a plasterer will quite happily run stucco all the way down to the membrane and reasonably consider the joint sealed. Stucco is porous, so the joint behind it wicks quietly for years before anything shows.
So we look hard at the parapet and the wall terminations before we quote any chimney work. If the parapet cap is failing, or the stucco meets the roof with nothing but a bead of sealant between them, fixing the chimney flashing perfectly will not stop your leak and you will be calling us again. We would rather say that on the first visit than the third.
Chimneys here are their own animal entirely. Many are adobe or block, stuccoed to match the house, capped with a mud or cement wash, and topped with a metal spark arrestor rather than a clay flue liner. A washed cap cracks eventually, and once water is inside a stuccoed masonry stack it emerges at the roof line looking exactly like a flashing failure.
Where the flashing genuinely is the problem, we rebuild it properly. Base flashing lapped under the roof membrane and turned up the stack, a reglet cut into the masonry to receive the counterflashing, and that counterflashing set in sealant and mechanically held in place. Not surface-mounted metal stuck on with polyurethane, which is what we usually find waiting for us. Sealant is a maintenance item with a life of a few years, not a flashing.
On the pitched stock we frame and flash a saddle behind any stack wider than about two and a half feet, so meltwater divides around it rather than banking against the uphill face. Santa Fe gets enough snow for that to matter every winter, and a chimney without one collects a drift that melts slowly and directly into the joint. That slow melt does far more damage than any single rainstorm will.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — canale pans lapped six inches inside the parapet, continuous parapet coping wrapped down both faces, sprayed polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat, 60 and 80 mil TPO and PVC single-ply membrane, torch-applied two-ply SBS cap sheet, tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a quarter inch per foot — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Santa Fe and nearby communities including Eldorado at Santa Fe, La Cienega, Agua Fria, Pojoaque.

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 canale pans lapped six inches inside the parapet, continuous parapet coping wrapped down both faces, sprayed polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat, 60 and 80 mil TPO and PVC single-ply membrane, 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 Santa Fe 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 northern New Mexico means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Santa Fe Chooses Santa Fe Roof Pros

- ✓Every canale is rebuilt with a metal pan lining running six inches inside the parapet, not patched with sealant.
- ✓Parapet caps are held with cleats at the vertical faces because the code forbids fasteners across the horizontal top.
- ✓We price pumice removal openly, because New Mexico no longer permits granular fill to stay in a roof assembly.
