Leaks around chimneys or vents often mean flashing has failed. Roof flashing repair is one of the most direct ways to stop leaks and protect your home from water damage. When flashing rusts, cracks, or pulls loose, rain can slip behind shingles and soak the wood below.
Our team inspects, replaces, and seals damaged flashing to restore a full water barrier. Every job is done with care so your roof stays tight, dry, and ready for the next storm.
The Role of Roof Flashing
Roof flashing is thin steel that maintains water out of vulnerable spots, which include chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys. When it begins to rust or pull away, rain can slip underneath the shingles and leak into your home.
The metal is generally steel, aluminum, or copper. Over time, warmth, rain, and wind wear it down. Small holes or cracks can grow rapidly, letting water soak into your roof’s structure.
Signs that flashing needs repair:
- Brown spots on ceilings or walls
- Rust or cracked metal pieces
- Soft or rotted wood under shingles
- Missing or loose sealant
Pro Tip: If a leak appears near your chimney or roof edge, flashing is often the first thing we check.
Our Roof Flashing Repair Process
We follow a careful, step-by-step method to make sure your roof stays leak-free.
Step 1: Inspection and Damage Check
We look at all flashing areas like chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys. If metal is rusted, loose, or missing, we plan to replace it.
Step 2: Remove Old Flashing and Check the Deck
We take off nearby shingles to expose the flashing. Then, we remove the old metal and check the wood underneath. If we find soft or moldy spots, we repair them before adding new materials.
Step 3: Install New Flashing
We cut new flashing pieces to fit the roof’s design. Each one is slid under shingles and sealed to direct water away. This creates a solid barrier that connects with the rest of your roofing system.
Step 4: Reinstall Shingles and Test the Repair
After placing the new flashing, we reinstall the shingles and make sure water flows off the roof properly.
Key Takeaway: A proper flashing repair creates a full seal that keeps rain from reaching the inside of your home.
