FAQs
What is peeling flashing and why is it a problem for my roof in Halls?
Flashing is the thin sheet metal installed around roof penetrations (chimneys, vents, valleys, and edges) to keep water out. Over time, the factory-applied protective coating can peel due to sun exposure, moisture, and temperature swings common in Halls. Once the coating fails, the metal underneath corrodes, loosens, and creates gaps where rainwater can seep beneath shingles, saturate decking, and damage interior ceilings and walls. Addressing peeling flashing early prevents costly structural repairs and mold growth.
How can I tell if my flashing or gutters need to be replaced rather than repaired?
You should consider full replacement when you notice any of the following: • Extensive peeling or rust spots on flashing that cover more than 25 % of the surface. • Flashing sections that have lifted, cracked, or separated at seams. • Gutters with multiple leaks, sagging sections, or nails/screws pulling away from fascia. • Persistent overflow even after cleaning, indicating improper sizing or pitch. • Water stains on soffits, fascia, or interior walls—signs that the current system is no longer channeling water correctly. A professional inspection can confirm whether spot repairs will suffice or if new flashing and gutters will be more cost-effective in the long run.
What gutter materials and profiles perform best in the Halls climate?
For Halls’ mix of heavy spring rains, humid summers, and occasional winter freezes, we typically recommend: • Seamless aluminum K-style gutters: Lightweight, rust-proof, and custom-fabricated on-site to reduce leaks. A durable baked-on enamel finish resists peeling. • 6-inch oversize profiles: Provide 40 % more water-carrying capacity than standard 5-inch gutters—ideal for sudden downpours. • Optional stainless-steel or copper for high-end projects: Both withstand corrosion exceptionally well and add curb appeal, though at a higher price point. • Heavy-gauge steel flashing with a polyvinyl coating: Offers superior puncture and corrosion resistance compared to galvanized only.
How long does a typical peeling-flashing repair or gutter replacement project take in Halls?
Most residential projects are completed within one to two days: Day 1 – Remove old gutters and compromised flashing, inspect roof decking and fascia for hidden damage, and make any necessary repairs. Day 2 – Fabricate seamless gutters on-site, install new flashing at critical areas, attach downspouts, test drainage, and clean the work area. Larger homes, multi-story roofs, or custom metal work may require an extra day. We provide a firm schedule before work begins and keep you updated throughout the project.
Will new flashing and gutters increase my home’s energy efficiency and resale value?
Yes. Properly sealed flashing stops moisture intrusion that can degrade insulation and raise heating/cooling costs. Well-sized, clog-free gutters direct water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of basement or crawl-space dampness that can also affect HVAC efficiency. From a resale standpoint, a recent roof-edge upgrade is one of the first items inspectors note, signaling buyers that the home has been well maintained. Industry studies show homeowners can recoup 60–75 % of the project cost in added property value.
Do you offer warranties and maintenance plans for new flashing and gutter installations?
Absolutely. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation defects on flashing and gutters, along with manufacturer warranties of 20–50 years, depending on the metal selected. To maximize longevity, we also offer annual maintenance plans that include a spring and fall inspection, debris removal, minor sealant touch-ups, and a detailed condition report. Customers enrolled in the plan receive priority scheduling and a discounted service rate if any repairs are needed.
