Why Flashing Repair Matters
Repairing damaged flashing is essential for keeping your roof and home protected. It prevents leaks, which are one of the most common causes of roof damage, especially around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Proper flashing repair also safeguards your home’s structure, stopping wood rot, ceiling damage, and ruined insulation caused by water infiltration. By addressing these issues promptly, you extend the lifespan of your roof and avoid the need for costly full replacements. Additionally, fixing flashing problems early saves money in the long term by preventing major water damage and structural repairs. A well-maintained roof with no leaks also reflects proper care and enhances the overall value of your property.
Common Flashing Problems We Fix
Over time, roof flashing can suffer from several types of damage that compromise your roof’s ability to keep water out. Cracks or rust in the metal are among the most common issues, as constant exposure to rain and sunlight weakens the material and breaks its waterproof seal. In many cases, flashing sections may also become loose or even go missing due to strong winds or poor installation. When flashing isn’t properly fitted around chimneys, vents, or skylights, water can easily seep through the gaps and reach your home’s interior. These problems often show up as water stains or leaks on ceilings, or even as mold and rotted wood near the roofline — clear signs that the flashing is no longer doing its job.
Our Flashing Repair Process
1- Cracked, loose, or warped panels 2- Root-Cause Report – Written estimate with annotated photos and repair scope. 3- Code-Compliant Repair – Replace or re-seat flashing (aluminum, galvanized steel, copper). Grind new reglet cuts for chimneys, install step + counter flashing, sealed with high-performance polymers; add kick-out flashing where needed; use manufacturer-approved skylight kits. 4- Waterproofing & Sealants – Ice/water membrane where applicable; stainless fasteners; UV-stable sealants. 5- Clean-Up & Proof – Leak test (weather permitting), photo report, and maintenance tips. 6-Typical timeline: most flashing repairs are completed same day; larger chimney/skylight scopes in 1–2 days.
Repair vs. Replacement We’ll Advise Honestly
Professional flashing repair provides comprehensive protection for your home. By addressing damaged flashing, it stops leaks and prevents water damage before it can affect your roof or interior.
