Cedar City Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing and crowns in Cedar City, UT for residential and commercial properties across Iron County and the Markagunt Plateau rim. No detail on a Cedar City roof generates more leak calls than the chimney. The cause is a freeze-thaw count most owners never suspect. Our average January runs a high of 42.8 degrees against a low of 18, so masonry here crosses freezing in both directions on most winter days.
Water enters through the crown and the mortar joints, freezes overnight, expands, and opens the joint a fraction. Repeat that a hundred times a winter for forty winters, and a mortar wash crown on Iron Mission-era or mid-century stock becomes a network of cracks. The chimney then leaks from the inside downward, water shows on the ceiling near the flue, and everybody blames the flashing.
So we look at the crown first and we say honestly when the problem is masonry rather than roofing. A proper crown is a poured, reinforced cap with an overhang and a drip kerf, sloped away from the flue. A troweled mortar wash sitting flush with the brick is not a crown and never was. When it is the flashing, the correct repair is not sealant.
It is a two-part assembly. Step pieces weave in with the courses on both flanks. The counterflashing goes into a reglet sawn in the mortar joint, folded over and fastened, never stuck on the face. Surface-mounted counterflashing at this altitude lasts exactly as long as its sealant, and up here that is a handful of seasons rather than a roof's lifetime.
Crickets are the component we most often find absent. Measured across the slope, any chimney wider than 30 inches wants a saddle behind it, and the code has required that for decades. Leave it out and the upslope face becomes a catchment. Snow, silt and meltwater gather there, sit against the brick through a freeze cycle, and produce precisely the failure a saddle exists to stop.
We build them in soldered or seamed metal rather than framing and shingling a narrow one, which keeps the profile low and the water moving. A decorative chimney that nobody uses and that is structurally tired can come off at the roof line, with the opening framed and decked over. That is usually cheaper than rebuilding. Both routes get priced together, and on a chimney nobody lights, removal is usually the better answer.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class 4 impact-rated laminate over solid decking, high-temperature self-adhered eave membrane, 24-gauge striated standing seam panel on floating clips, engineered snow retention rail and drop zone, six-nail pattern stepped up at rakes and corners, kick-out diverter where a rake dies into a wall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Cedar City and nearby communities including Enoch, Parowan, Paragonah, Kanarraville.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing and crowns
The difference between chimney flashing and crowns that lasts and chimney flashing and crowns that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Class 4 impact-rated laminate over solid decking, high-temperature self-adhered eave membrane, 24-gauge striated standing seam panel on floating clips, engineered snow retention rail and drop zone, 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 Cedar City 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 Iron County and the Markagunt Plateau rim means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Cedar City Chooses Cedar City Roof Pros
- ✓Every estimate opens with your elevation and the ground snow load the Utah State tool returns for it, because Utah's statutory table has no Cedar City entry to fall back on.
- ✓We specify by elevation band rather than by city line, so a valley-floor roof and a canyon-rim roof get genuinely different assemblies instead of the same package at two prices.
- ✓Late-season installs get every tab hand-sealed with asphalt cement at the manufacturer's quantity, because a roof surface here crosses freezing in both directions on most winter days.
- ✓We photograph underlayment, valley metal and every flashing before they are covered, and those photographs go to you rather than into a folder you never see.
