Hammond Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Hammond, IN for residential and commercial properties across the Calumet Region. Chimneys leak more often than roofs do, and on a housing stock this old that is not a close contest. A brick stack has four separate water paths, and a contractor who only replaces the visible step flashing has fixed at most one of them. Chimneys deserve their own visit.
The mortar is the local complication. Acidic deposition works on the soft lime mortar in older joints, and combined with freeze and thaw it opens the bed joints near the top of a stack where the weather is worst. Water entering there travels down inside the masonry and appears at a ceiling several feet away from the chimney, which is why the roofer usually gets blamed first. That is why we start at the crown.
So we sequence the work honestly, even when that costs us the schedule. If the crown is cracked or the upper joints are open, the mason goes first and we go second. Flashing a stack that is still drinking through its own brick is money spent to make a leak harder to diagnose, and we would rather say that out loud than run the sequence backwards and bill you twice. We schedule around the mason.
Our flashing method is two-piece and mechanical. Step flashing woven course by course, then counterflashing set into a saw-cut reglet and fastened, never a bead of sealant smeared onto the brick face and painted to match. Sealant belongs at the reglet as a gasket and nowhere else, and any bid that relies on it as the waterproofing will be back inside three winters. Ask which method a bid is quoting.
Anything wider than about two feet gets a cricket. A framed and metal-clad saddle on the upslope side moves water and grit around the stack instead of letting both pond against the brick, and on a wide chimney it is the difference between a flashing detail that lasts and one that becomes a permanent maintenance item somebody visits every other spring. A cricket is cheap while the roof is already open.
Unused chimneys deserve a real conversation before you spend anything. If the flue is abandoned, dropping the stack below the roof plane and framing over the opening is often cheaper than repairing, flashing and maintaining it, and it removes the leak permanently rather than managing it. We will price both options and let you choose without pressure either way. Removal is permanent.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — aluminum-substrate standing seam with a PVDF finish, copper-bearing shingle granules, low-pressure roof washing with a neutral detergent, coating adhesion patches pulled at seventy-two hours, tempered glass skylight units set on site-built curbs, 0.032 aluminum drip edge and valley pan — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hammond and nearby communities including Munster, Highland, Griffith, Whiting.

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 aluminum-substrate standing seam with a PVDF finish, copper-bearing shingle granules, low-pressure roof washing with a neutral detergent, coating adhesion patches pulled at seventy-two hours, 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 Hammond 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 Calumet Region means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hammond Chooses Hammond Premium Roofing
- ✓We wash a test area before we judge a roof, because reading granule loss or bruising through settled industrial deposit is guesswork and guesswork replaces roofs five years early.
- ✓We read the finish warranty's exclusion clause out loud before you buy a metal roof, since the premium coatings exclude locations exposed to fallout, ash and corrosive fumes.
- ✓Every exposed component we install is aluminum rather than steel, and we will show you the corroded steel we pulled off the last house instead of arguing the point.
- ✓Replacement decking is priced at a signed rate per sheet before anybody starts the tear-off, which matters on a stock where most houses predate modern sheathing panels.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Hammond 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.
