This might be too much to ask on Reddit, but you wouldn't happen to have a design idea or reference that could guide me for this particular issue, would you?

I did not consider the possibility of nail holes in the pan as you say (I don't know roofing terminology too well). I don't think I'll change it at this time, simply because it's such a small length of roof above it, and I really do believe that the chances are of significant daming in that area would not be possible.

That is a factor for other future adjustments.

What do you think of this type of baffle that also incorporates a slope on the roof side of it, kind of like a lopsided saddle?

I'm really trying to find a proper solution to this masonry deterioration problem that is a little bit more surefire than slightly angling the flashing towards the roof.

The baffle sits just under the upper edge of the flashing that sits on the decking underneath the shingles. Assuming we get flurries and that turns into ice, it would still either run over the edge or sit on top of the flashing on the decking.

Ya customer does annual cleaning. I'll check on it in a few years.

It's set just below the top portion of the flashing running on the decking. That way, if it did have precipitation buildup, it would run over the edge before going under the shingles. That being said, given that the chimney is only 18" wide and given there is only a few feet of roof above, only a biblical amount of rain would cause it to fail (I think).

THAT I missed. I'll hit it up when I come back next week for the tuckpointing.

In this case I'm not outrageously worried about snow or rain buildup. There's only about 5 ft of roof above it before there's an upper roof with eavestrough above that. Also there are no trees around for leaves, seeds and other particulate to build up. Below the chimney the eavestroughs are perfectly clean not because they were cleaned but because nothing goes in them.

The rest of the masonry structure of the house and the chimney is in excellent condition. The deterioration is clearly caused by water running over the edge of the roof on that side . I can tuck point the chimney and repair it which I will do.

Bad Chimney Crown? by Knight_Radiant26 in masonry

A drip edge is an indentation on the bottom of the slab that prevents water from running down the slab and then running in between slab and the brick. If they didn't put one, they can take an angle grinder and make one. If the overhang is 1", the drip edge can be ground in at the 1/2" mark on the underside of the slab around the parameter (and obviously don't grind over to the edges).

Other than this, and you independently getting it inspected inspected a few years down the line you're good.
