Naperville Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Naperville, IL for residential and commercial properties across the DuPage and Will county suburbs. Chimneys cause more Naperville leaks than any other single feature, and a good share of the flashing we are called out to replace was never the problem in the first place. Diagnosing the wrong component is the expensive part of this trade.
Water reaches a ceiling from three different places around a chimney and each needs different work. The flashing at the roof line is one. The crown, the mortar cap across the top, is another, and a cracked crown lets water into the masonry where it freezes and spalls the brick from the inside. The third is the flue, where a furnace conversion has left an old clay liner taking condensate it was never sized for.
So we look at all three before quoting anything, and if the crown or the liner is at fault we will tell you the flashing is perfectly fine and that you need a mason or a chimney contractor rather than a roofer. Selling flashing on a crown failure produces a customer who leaks again in one storm and who correctly blames the last person who was on the roof.
When flashing genuinely is the fault, the method is not negotiable. Step flashing woven into every shingle course, counter flashing let into a sawn reglet in the mortar joint, and a cricket built behind any chimney measuring more than thirty inches across the slope, so water divides and runs past instead of piling up. Surface-applied metal stuck on with a bead of sealant buys roughly two winters and is sold as though it were permanent.
That reglet cut is the detail contractors skip. Sawing a groove into the mortar joint takes time, makes dust and needs the right blade, and face-caulking the counter flashing flat against the brick looks completely identical on the day it is finished. It then fails predictably as the sealant shrinks through Illinois winters, by which point it is buried under a roof somebody else installed.
Because none of this is permitted or inspected, the photographs are the only record. We shoot the reglet cut open, the step flashing before the courses cover it, and the finished counter flashing, and those three images go to you with the invoice rather than into an internal folder that nobody ever opens again. On an uninspected roof that sequence is the whole warranty.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat laminated shingles, ASTM D7158 wind classification stated per slope, half-inch CDX sheathing swapped at an agreed per-sheet price, self-adhered ice barrier carried past the inside face of the exterior wall, ring-shank fasteners driven in the manufacturer's nailing zone, 24-gauge snap-lock standing seam over high-temperature underlayment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Naperville and nearby communities including Lisle, Woodridge, Warrenville, Wheaton.

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 D3462 fiberglass-mat laminated shingles, ASTM D7158 wind classification stated per slope, half-inch CDX sheathing swapped at an agreed per-sheet price, self-adhered ice barrier carried past the inside face of the exterior wall, 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 Naperville 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 DuPage and Will county suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Naperville Chooses Naperville Premium Roofing
- ✓We state in writing whether your job triggers a Naperville permit, because an asphalt re-cover over sound sheathing does not, and that means no inspector will ever see it.
- ✓A per-sheet price for half-inch CDX sheathing is agreed and signed before tear-off morning, so "we found rot" is a number you already approved rather than a negotiation on a ladder.
- ✓Our Illinois roofing license number is on the bid, the contract and the truck, and you can check it against the state register before you call anyone.
- ✓Arbitration and jury-waiver clauses are pointed out and signed separately, the way Illinois law requires, or they do not bind you at all.
