FAQs
What causes flashing to tear or blow off roofs in Grandview?
Grandview’s spring and fall storms often bring gusts that exceed 60 mph. When flashing is not properly fastened or has aged and become brittle, uplift pressure from those winds can bend, crack, or completely remove it. Temperature swings that cause metal to expand and contract, as well as ice dams in winter, can also loosen nails and create weak points the wind can exploit.
Why is damaged flashing a serious problem for my roof?
Flashing protects the most vulnerable seams—chimneys, walls, valleys, skylights, and vent pipes. Once it’s torn, rainwater can seep under shingles, saturate the underlayment, and rot the decking or interior framing. Left unaddressed, leaks may stain ceilings, invite mold, and shorten your roof’s overall life by several years.
How do I know if my flashing was torn by the wind?
From the ground you may notice lifted or missing metal strips along roof edges or around penetrations. Indoors, new water spots on ceilings after a storm are a red flag. Our technicians use drones and on-roof inspections to look for bent flashing, missing fasteners, or debris caught under the metal—signs consistent with wind damage.
What does the repair process involve?
1) We perform a free on-site assessment anywhere in Grandview. 2) Damaged flashing is carefully removed. 3) The decking and adjacent shingles are inspected for moisture damage and replaced if necessary. 4) New galvanized or copper flashing is installed with weather-tight fasteners and high-quality sealant. 5) We test-spray the area to ensure a watertight seal before cleanup.
How much does wind-torn flashing repair typically cost in Grandview?
For an average single-story home, minor repairs start around $250–$450. Extensive damage involving multiple roof planes or skylights can range from $600–$1,200. Prices vary with material (galvanized steel vs. copper), roof pitch, and accessibility. We provide a written, no-obligation quote so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Will my homeowners insurance cover wind-related flashing damage?
Most Grandview policies list wind as a covered peril. If the adjuster confirms the flashing was torn off by a recent storm, the repair (minus your deductible) is usually reimbursable. We document damage with photos, prepare the scope of work, and can meet with the adjuster on-site to help you navigate the claim process quickly.
