Greenwood Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Greenwood, IN for residential and commercial properties across the Johnson County side of the Indianapolis metro. Two different things get called a chimney on Greenwood houses and they leak for completely different reasons. Older masonry stacks fail at the flashing. Framed chases with a metal cap, which is what most subdivision houses have, fail at the cap.
On masonry, the correct detail is two pieces. A step flashing piece laid into every course as the roof climbs the side wall, then a counterflashing turned into a reglet ground out of the mortar bed and dressed down over the steps. The common alternative on these houses is one folded strip slapped against the brick face and drowned in roofing cement, which is a repair with a shelf life of a few seasons.
Roofing cement is the material that makes these jobs expensive later. It is stiff, the chimney and the deck move differently through an Indiana year, and the black bead cracks and then hides the crack. Every time it is topped up the eventual repair gets harder, because somebody has to chisel it all off the brick before proper metal can go on. We will not top up somebody else's bead and call that a repair.
A chimney wider than about thirty inches needs a cricket behind it. On the upslope face, a flat wall across the slope collects water and debris and holds both against the brick until the mortar gives up. A framed and flashed saddle splits the flow around the stack, and its absence is one of the more common original-build omissions we correct. The cricket gets flashed and counterflashed like any other wall, not shingled over.
Framed chases are a different job. The sheet-metal cap on top is frequently flat, unpainted and fastened straight through the top face, so every screw is a hole in the highest horizontal surface on the roof. We replace with a crowned cap, cross-broken to shed, with the fasteners moved to the sides and the flue collar properly stormed. The old cap comes off rather than being wrapped, so we can see what the chase framing is doing.
We stay in our lane on masonry itself. Spalled brick, a cracked crown or a liner problem is a mason's or a sweep's work, and we will say so and give you the name rather than skim a crown with sealant and call it fixed. Flashing we will stand behind. Somebody else's brickwork we will not. Getting the trades in the right order saves you doing the flashing twice.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminate shingles, six-nail fastening set on the common bond line, full starter strip run up both rakes, not only the eaves, hemmed aluminum rake metal and eave drip edge, self-adhered ice barrier at the eave line, synthetic underlayment fixed with capped fasteners — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Greenwood and nearby communities including Franklin, Bargersville, New Whiteland, Whiteland.

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 ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminate shingles, six-nail fastening set on the common bond line, full starter strip run up both rakes, not only the eaves, hemmed aluminum rake metal and eave drip edge, 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 Greenwood 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 Johnson County side of the Indianapolis metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Greenwood Chooses Greenwood Premium Roofing
- ✓We scope the windward plane and the sheltered plane as two separate questions, and price them that way, because on an exposed Greenwood lot they are not in the same condition.
- ✓We establish whether your address is inside the Greenwood city limits or in unincorporated White River or Pleasant Township before quoting, because it decides which building authority signs the work off.
- ✓We photograph creased tabs individually. A folded shingle that dropped back into place has already failed, and it is the finding most often walked past on a Johnson County roof.
- ✓We will not coat, seal or rejuvenate a steep-slope asphalt roof, and we turn that work away several times a season rather than sell something that cannot reach the failed bond line.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Greenwood follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every chimney flashing project in Greenwood gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
