A flashing assembly used to construct a flashing around a building structure, such as a chimney. The assembly includes a pair of base flashing members including flexible end sections that can be deformed to adapt to the shape of a building structure around which the flashing is applied. Further, at least one of the base flashing members may also include a flexible center portion in order to allow the base flashing member to conform to a sloped surface or saddle positioned against one end of the building structure. The assembly further includes a number of conventional tin shingles that can be positioned between the base flashing members, and a number of counter flashing members that are positioned over the base flashing members and tin shingles to waterproof the flashing assembly. Each counter flashing member includes a locking receiver joint at one end that is adapted to receive and retain a locking flange formed opposite the locking receiver joint on an adjacent counter flashing member to secure the counter flashing members around the building structure over the base flashing members and tin shingles. The assembly enables an individual to quickly and effectively form and position a flashing around a building structure without requiring the individual to make complex bends in the components of the assembly. Each component of the assembly can also be placed within a kit used to form a complete flashing around the chimney.
