St. Cloud Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in St. Cloud, MN for residential and commercial properties across central Minnesota. This is the page that explains the rest of the site. On brick, a roofer rakes out a mortar joint, tucks counterflashing into the slot, repoints and walks away with a detail lasting as long as the roof. On sawn granite that move does not exist.
Granite runs around seven on the Mohs scale and its bed joints are thin and tight. Nothing gets raked with a hand tool, and grinding a slot into a quarried ashlar face leaves a permanent scar on a wall the house was built to show off. So counterflashing goes on the surface, shaped to the stone, held by a stainless termination bar anchored into the joint and closed with two-part urethane over a backer rod.
That assembly works. It is also, unavoidably, a serviceable component, and this is the sentence most estimates leave out. Your covering has a life in decades and that sealant joint has a life in years, somewhere around eight to twelve depending on which way the wall faces. We write the install date on your closeout sheet so the interval starts from a fact rather than from somebody's memory.
Underneath the visible metal, the parts that do the actual work are the ones you never see. Step flashing woven course by course up both sides, not one continuous bent piece. A soldered or folded corner at the front rather than sealant filling a gap. And a proper framed cricket behind any chimney wider than about thirty inches, which stops the wedge of ice and debris that otherwise sits against the upslope face all winter.
Now the part we would rather say early. If the chimney is dead, and a lot of them here are since the boiler was swapped out decades ago, the cheapest correct answer is to take it down below the roof line, deck over the hole and be finished with it. One cost, once. Keeping a decorative stack means paying to maintain a joint forever for a chimney that does nothing.
One boundary. The stone itself is masonry work and under state law it sits in a different special skill from roofing. We flash, we do not repoint, and if your crown is cracked or your cap has shifted we will name a mason and sequence the work so you are not paying for the same metal twice.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted stainless counterflashing on sawn granite ashlar, a stainless termination bar bedded in two-part urethane, ASTM C615 dimension stone held to four tenths of a percent absorption, step flashing woven course by course against a stone return, a saddle cricket framed behind an upslope masonry chimney, base flashing carried eight inches up a parapet wall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve St. Cloud and nearby communities including Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, St. Joseph.

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 surface-mounted stainless counterflashing on sawn granite ashlar, a stainless termination bar bedded in two-part urethane, ASTM C615 dimension stone held to four tenths of a percent absorption, step flashing woven course by course against a stone return, 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 St. Cloud 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 central Minnesota means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why St. Cloud Chooses St. Cloud Roof Pros
- ✓The tape measure goes to the walls before it goes to the ridge. Linear feet of roof-to-masonry moves a St. Cloud bid further than the shingle line ever does.
- ✓Sawn granite will not take a raked reglet, so counterflashing here is surface-mounted and serviceable. We build it that way on purpose and hand you the service interval in writing.
- ✓Money goes into starter, step flashing, valley metal and hip and ridge first, and into the field laminate second. A premium shingle over tired metal is a good-looking roof with the old leak still under it.
- ✓Coating asphalt shingles is not something we do, and whole-roof sealing is not something we sell. The only sealant worth buying on most of these houses is the few dozen feet where metal meets stone.
