Alamogordo Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Alamogordo, NM for residential and commercial properties across Otero County and the Tularosa Basin. No other penetration produces as many leak calls as a chimney does, and the cause is nearly always identical. Somebody tried to solve a sheet-metal problem with a tube of sealant. Sealant is a gasket, not a flashing, and in this climate it has a short and unhappy life.
A chimney flashed correctly has four parts doing four jobs: a base at the downhill face, step flashing woven up each side course by course, a head flashing or cricket where the roof meets the uphill face, and counterflashing set into a saw-cut reglet, folded down over everything below. Each is metal doing the work by geometry. If a repair proposal never mentions the reglet, it is caulk with a price on it.
The reglet is where our climate intrudes. A saw cut in mortar, exposed to a basin dust load, collects gypsum that dissolves in the rain and sets into a hard plug. That plug works the counterflashing leg out of the joint and stops fresh sealant from ever wetting the masonry. We rake the reglet out to clean stone or brick before anything goes back into it, which is slow work and the reason our repair holds.
Above the escarpment the chimney story is about wood heat. Cabins around the Lincoln National Forest genuinely burn wood, so the chimneys are real, full-size and often on the uphill side of the roof where snow piles against them. Any chimney there wider than about two feet needs a cricket, not because a code table says so, but because a flat uphill face becomes a snow shelf that holds meltwater against masonry for weeks at a stretch.
Metal chase covers on framed chimney chases are a separate epidemic, particularly on 1980s and 1990s mountain houses. The original covers were thin galvanized steel, they hold a puddle in the middle, they rust through from the inside, and the water runs down inside the chase where nobody can see it until the ceiling below gives it away. We replace them with a cross-broken cover in a heavier gauge with proper drip edges.
If your chimney has been sealed three times and still leaks, stop buying sealant. The flashing needs to come out and be rebuilt as four pieces of metal, once, and then it will outlast the roof it sits in.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hand-sealed shingle tabs above the freeze line, self-adhered eave membrane over cold decks, gypsum crust in gutter beds and scupper throats, concealed clips that let panels move with temperature, snow retention rails above entry doors, wash-and-scrape substrate prep before coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Alamogordo and nearby communities including Tularosa, La Luz, Boles Acres, Holloman AFB.

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 hand-sealed shingle tabs above the freeze line, self-adhered eave membrane over cold decks, gypsum crust in gutter beds and scupper throats, concealed clips that let panels move with temperature, 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 Alamogordo 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 Otero County and the Tularosa Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Alamogordo Chooses Alamogordo Roof Pros
- ✓We quote from the elevation of your address, not from a county average, because a roof at 4,330 feet and a roof at 8,676 feet fail in opposite directions.
- ✓Basin-floor roofs get surfaced and ventilated for ultraviolet load and daily thermal swing, which is what actually ends shingle life down here rather than rainfall.
- ✓Mountain roofs get self-adhered eave membrane, closed valleys and a tighter nailing pattern, and we will not shingle one in late fall without hand-sealing every tab.
- ✓We wash gypsum crust off gutter beds, valley bottoms and drain sumps rather than sweeping it, because wetted gypsum cements itself in place and sweeping just polishes it.
