Flashing Repair
Most roofs that leak are not leaking through the field of the roof. They are leaking at a join: a chimney, a wall, a valley, a vent or a skylight, where two surfaces meet and the metal that bridges them has failed.
Flashing We Repair
Flashing fails in ways that look like nothing from the ground. Sealant that has gone hard and pulled away, step flashing that was never stepped, counter-flashing that was face-nailed into brick rather than cut into the mortar joint, and a chimney cricket that was never fitted at all.
- Chimney flashing
- Step and counter-flashing
- Valley flashing
- Pipe boots and vents
- Skylight flashing
- Wall and dormer flashing
Chimney Flashing
The most common failure on older DMV housing stock. Counter-flashing pulled out of the mortar joint, or sealant doing a job that metal should be doing.
Step Flashing
Where the roof meets a wall or a dormer. Done wrong it is a single bent strip instead of a stepped set, and it leaks at every course.
Valley Flashing
Valleys carry more water than anything else on the roof. Rust, punctures and shingles cut too tight all show up here first.
Pipe Boots and Vents
Rubber boots perish and split in ten to fifteen years of sun. It is a small repair that prevents a ceiling.
Skylight Flashing
A skylight that leaks is usually a flashing kit problem rather than the unit itself.
Wall and Dormer Flashing
Siding meeting roof is a detail that gets skipped. Water gets behind the wall rather than into the attic, so it is found late.

What We Are Usually Called To
The situations that bring people to this page.
The roofer before us just used sealant. Is that a repair?
It buys a season or two. Sealant is a maintenance item, not a flashing detail, and when it is doing the whole job the leak comes back. Metal cut into the mortar joint does not.
Do I need a new roof if the flashing failed?
Usually not. Flashing fails on roofs with plenty of life left, which is why it is worth diagnosing properly rather than treating every leak as a replacement conversation.
Can you repair flashing without stripping the roof?
In most cases yes. Shingles around the detail are lifted, the flashing is replaced and the courses go back. You are told up front where that is not possible.

How the Project Runs
- 1Tell us where the water is showing and what the weather was doing when it appeared. Wind-driven rain points at different details to steady rain.
- 2We get into the attic where there is access and trace the water back up the slope, because the stain is almost never under the leak.
- 3Every penetration, valley, wall join and chimney detail is checked and photographed.
- 4You are shown the photographs and told what failed before any price is discussed.
- 5The flashing is replaced, the courses around it go back, and the detail is photographed again on completion.
