McAllen Roof Pros provides professional chimney & wall flashing in McAllen, TX for residential and commercial properties across the central Rio Grande Valley. There are not many chimneys in McAllen, and this page matters anyway, because the detail that keeps a chimney dry governs every vertical surface a roof runs into. Around here that means stucco walls, second-story offsets and framed chases far more often than masonry fireplaces.
The correct assembly has two separate parts. Step flashing interleaves with the shingles, a single piece riding each course. Counterflashing is a second, independent piece let into the wall above it, covering the vertical leg of the step flashing without being fastened to it, so the two move independently and water never reaches a fastener. Caulk substitutes for neither, and a bead smeared down a wall joint is the repair we are most often called to undo.
Stucco construction is where this goes wrong in the Valley. On many houses the counterflashing was never installed, and the stucco was simply run down onto the roof and sealed at the base. That joint holds ordinary rain for a few years and fails the first time a storm pushes water up under it. Repairing it properly means cutting a reglet into the stucco, setting new counterflashing into the cut, sealing the reglet and patching the finish.
Kickout flashing is the small piece nobody sees and everybody needs. Where a roof slope dies into a wall at the eave, a kickout diverts the whole slope's runoff into the gutter instead of behind the wall cladding. Missing kickouts cause more hidden wall rot in this market than any other single defect. Retrofitting one is a couple of hours of work and it prevents a wall rebuild.
Anything wider than about thirty inches on the uphill side wants a cricket. That is a small framed saddle, and its job is to part the flow and send it down either side rather than let it pile against the back wall through a long rain. The reglet work above takes a day and it costs real money. A contractor who offers to caulk it instead is selling you one more year.
We rebuild chimney crowns and reset caps as part of this work when the masonry is involved. Where a chase has been sealed with roofing tar by a previous repair, we remove it entirely rather than adding to it. Roofing tar on a flashing joint is usually a sign that the last repair was a guess rather than a diagnosis.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered high-temperature underlayment, kickout flashing, reglet-cut counterflashing, external-baffle ridge vent, six-nail common bond fastening, ES-1 rated edge metal — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve McAllen and nearby communities including Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney & wall flashing
The difference between chimney & wall flashing that lasts and chimney & wall flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with self-adhered high-temperature underlayment, kickout flashing, reglet-cut counterflashing, external-baffle ridge vent, 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 McAllen 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 central Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
