Roof Flashing Repair Services
We focus on fixing worn or damaged flashing to prevent leaks and water damage. Our work includes spotting weak spots, repairing leaks, and handling urgent repairs quickly to protect your property. We use proper materials and techniques to keep your roof secure.
Common Flashing Problems We Fix
Flashing can crack, rust, or pull away from the roof over time. These issues let water seep in and damage your building. We often repair:
- Cracked or split flashing caused by weather or age
- Rusted metal flashing that weakens the seal
- Loose or missing flashing that leaves gaps
- Poorly sealed joints that let in moisture
By fixing these problems early, you avoid larger roof damage and costly repairs. We carefully inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof edges to find hidden trouble spots.
Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks often start at small flashing faults that are hard to see. We use thorough visual checks and tools to find leaks in your flashing. Once we detect a problem, we remove damaged sections and replace or reseal flashing properly.
Our repairs restore the flashing to a tight, waterproof seal. This stops water from entering and causing damage inside your home or business. We make sure every repair can handle local weather conditions like rain, snow, and heat.

Signs You Need Roof Flashing Services
You should watch for clear signs that your roof flashing is damaged or not working properly. These include visible problems on the roof, water stains inside your home, and parts of flashing that are missing or loose. Catching these early helps us fix things before they cause bigger issues.
Visible Damage or Rust
If you see cracks, bends, or rust on your roof flashing, it means it’s time for service. Flashing protects your roof by sealing joints and edges. Damage allows water to get through and cause leaks.
Rust is a sign that the metal is deteriorating. Once flashing starts to rust, it won’t hold up against weather conditions. This can make the flashing brittle and easier to break.
We recommend inspecting your flashing regularly, especially after storms. If you spot any damage, call us to repair or replace it before water can get in.
Water Stains on Ceilings
Water stains on your ceilings or walls usually mean water is leaking through the roof. Poor flashing is often the cause because it fails to direct water away from vulnerable parts of the roof.
These stains often appear as brown, yellow, or discolored patches. They might start small but grow over time if the leak isn’t fixed.
If you notice stains inside your home, check your roof flashing right away. We can inspect and repair the flashing to stop leaks and prevent damage to your ceilings and walls.
Missing or Loose Flashing Pieces
Flashing that is missing or loose creates gaps where water can easily enter your home. High winds, storms, or poor installation can cause flashing to come loose or fall off.
You might notice parts of flashing missing around chimneys, vents, or roof edges. Loose flashing can sometimes flap in the wind, making it easier to spot.
We offer services to reattach, replace, or secure flashing pieces. Acting fast keeps water out and keeps your roof strong.
Roof Flashing Maintenance Tips
Keeping your roof flashing in good shape helps protect your home from leaks and water damage. We recommend checking your flashing at least twice a year, especially after bad weather. Damaged flashing can let water in, leading to bigger problems. If you spot any issues, contact us for a quick repair or replacement to keep your roof watertight.
Cleaning debris around flashing is important. Leaves and dirt can trap moisture, causing rust or rot. Use a soft brush or cloth to clear the area gently without damaging the metal.
Make sure sealants around your flashing are intact. Over time, caulk and other sealants can dry out and crack. We offer resealing services that restore tightness and prevent leaks. If you notice flashing that looks bent or out of place, it may need adjustment. Our team can realign flashing for the best fit and protection.
