FAQs
What is roof flashing and why is it important?
Roof flashing is the thin, weather-resistant material—commonly aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper—installed at critical transition points on a roof (chimney bases, skylight perimeters, valleys, vents, and where roof planes meet walls). Its job is to channel water away from seams and joints that shingles or metal panels alone can’t fully seal. Without intact flashing, water can infiltrate these vulnerable areas, leading to leaks, wood rot, mold growth, and costly structural damage. A small section of failed flashing often causes more interior damage than a damaged shingle field because it sits at key drainage routes.
How can I tell if my flashing in Halls needs repair or replacement?
Common warning signs include (1) visible rust, cracked sealant, or pin-holes in metal; (2) lifting or bent flashing that no longer sits flush with the roof plane; (3) water stains on interior ceilings or walls near fireplaces, skylights, or dormers; (4) granule loss or shingle curl directly above step-flashing courses; and (5) debris accumulation that traps moisture at flashing edges. Because flashing problems are often subtle, we recommend a professional inspection every 12–24 months or immediately after a severe Halls wind or hail storm.
What flashing materials and styles do you service in the Halls area?
Our technicians repair and replace all major flashing types: step flashing, continuous (apron) flashing, counter-flashing, valley flashing, drip edge, cricket flashing behind chimneys, and pipe boot flashing. We work with galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and lead-coated copper, matching the existing roof system for seamless aesthetics and code compliance. For coastal or high-salt environments, we also offer stainless steel and specialized coatings to maximize service life.
What is involved in your typical flashing repair process?
1. Free on-site assessment: We inspect the suspect areas, attic, and decking. 2. Moisture mapping: Infrared or moisture meters locate hidden water intrusion. 3. Material match: We source flashing metal that matches roof color, gauge, and finish. 4. Safe removal: Damaged flashing, adjacent shingles, and old sealant are carefully removed to protect underlying roof felt and decking. 5. Deck & underlayment check: Any compromised wood is replaced; a waterproof membrane may be added for extra protection. 6. New flashing installation: Metal is cut, bent, and fastened per NRCA guidelines and local Halls code, with proper overlap and counter-flashing where masonry is present. 7. Re-install roofing: Shingles or panels are reset, edges are sealed, and debris is cleared. 8. Final water test & photo documentation—delivered to you for peace of mind.
How much does roof flashing repair generally cost in Halls?
Pricing varies with material type, roof pitch, and the length/complexity of the flashing run. Minor step-flashing repairs on an asphalt shingle roof can start around $250–$450. Chimney or skylight flashing replacements that require masonry work typically range from $650–$1,200. Full valley or copper flashing replacement may run $1,500+ due to material costs. We provide a written, no-obligation estimate after inspection and always discuss repair vs. replacement options to fit your budget.
Do you offer emergency flashing leak service, and how fast can you respond in Halls?
Yes. Because flashing failures often cause sudden interior water damage, we maintain a 24/7 emergency response team. For most addresses within the Halls city limits, we can arrive within 2–4 hours, tarp the affected area, and perform a temporary seal to stop active leaks. Permanent repairs are typically completed the next business day once specific flashing metal and matching shingles are sourced. All emergency visits include a comprehensive leak source report so you know exactly what failed and why.
