Another chimney flashing wrapped up today. 🔨

Finished this chimney with lead-coated copper flashing and a custom copper saddle, tied into CertainTeed Grand Manor shingles in Black Pearl.

A lot of attention to detail went into the layout, corners, transitions, and water management around the chimney. Proper flashing isn’t always the most noticeable part of a roof, but it’s one of the most important.

Black Pearl + lead-coated copper = 🔥

Another job done right and built to last.

“That’s a lot of mastic!”
We hear that sometimes when people see our plumbing vent installations at W. Forrest Roofing.
What may look like overkill is actually a standard part of our installation procedure.

The mastic is strategically placed and shaped to help control water flow around the vent. If dirt or debris collects on the roof, we want water to continue following the path we've created—not find its own path toward a vulnerable area.

A few other details are important:

✅ No exposed fasteners
✅ Mastic is protected from UV exposure
✅ Proper flashing handles the primary water shedding
✅ Mastic helps establish a controlled drainage path
✅ The finished assembly is integrated with the surrounding shingles

And there's a little real-world experience behind the method: 25+ years without a vent leak.

Roofing isn't always about using the least amount of material. It's about managing water correctly and building an assembly that holds up over time.

At W. Forrest Roofing & sheet Metal this is how we do it
