Biloxi Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Biloxi, MS for residential and commercial properties across the Biloxi Bay area. Think of a chimney as a free standing wall dropped through the middle of your roof. Every leak it causes is a joint failure, not a brick failure. Sealant along the top of a flashing is not a repair. It is a receipt for another repair in two years.
Done correctly, a chimney is flashed in two independent layers. Step flashing goes in one piece to a course, laced up both faces, with every piece lapping over the one beneath. Then counterflashing is let into a cut groove in the mortar joint, folded, wedged and sealed, and it hangs down over the step flashing without being attached to it. The two layers move independently, which matters because masonry and framing do not move together.
On the water side of the peninsula there is a third consideration. Wind driven rain gets pushed up the face of a chimney and can find the underside of a counterflashing that was cut shallow or simply surface mounted with a bead of caulk. We cut a proper reglet, and on exposed elevations we add a hemmed drip to the counterflashing so water is thrown clear rather than tracking back underneath.
Any chimney wider than about two feet needs a cricket on its uphill side, and the number of Biloxi chimneys we find without one is remarkable. Without a cricket, the back of the chimney is a dam collecting water, leaves and pine straw against the flashing every time it rains. That is the single most common cause of the ceiling stain in the room below.
Prefabricated chases with metal chase covers are their own category, and the failure is nearly always a flat cover that has pooled and rusted through at the seams. A replacement cover should be sloped, cross broken, with a proper collar around the flue and rivets and sealant at the corners. We fabricate them rather than order the flat stock version.
If your chimney is unused and the masonry is deteriorating, dropping it below the deck line and closing that hole with new framing usually beats rebuilding and reflashing it. We will price both and tell you which we would pick. Removal is not a defeat. A chimney serving nothing, standing in the middle of a roof that has to resist uplift and horizontal rain, is a liability dressed up as a feature.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an exposure category taken per wind direction rather than per address, the six hundred foot inland reach of open water surface roughness, the wind classification printed on the shingle bundle wrapper, the manufacturer's high wind nailing pattern in place of the standard four, a sealed roof deck taped at every sheathing joint, rated perimeter edge metal and coping anchored to a tested standard — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Biloxi and nearby communities including Pascagoula, Gautier, Ocean Springs, D'Iberville.

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 an exposure category taken per wind direction rather than per address, the six hundred foot inland reach of open water surface roughness, the wind classification printed on the shingle bundle wrapper, the manufacturer's high wind nailing pattern in place of the standard four, 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 Biloxi 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 Biloxi Bay area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Biloxi Chooses Biloxi Roof Pros
- ✓We state the exposure category and the wind classification on the proposal in plain words, so the next roofer who reads it can disagree in writing
- ✓Sheltered addresses get quoted as sheltered addresses. We talk homeowners north of the Tchoutacabouffa River out of coastal hardware they do not need
- ✓Every plane is graded on its own and the sector it faces is recorded, because a north slope over Back Bay fails differently from a south slope
- ✓Bad decking is priced per sheet in the proposal before tear off begins, so nothing gets renegotiated in your driveway with the roof open
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Biloxi 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 Biloxi 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.
