FAQs
What is lifted flashing and why is it a problem for roofs in Johnson City?
Flashing is the thin metal material installed around roof penetrations, valleys, and edges to channel water away from vulnerable seams. When high winds, temperature swings, or improper installation cause the flashing to loosen and lift, rainwater can funnel underneath shingles and into the decking. In Johnson City’s four-season climate—where winter freeze-thaw cycles and spring thunderstorms are common—lifted flashing quickly leads to wood rot, interior leaks, and mold if not repaired promptly.
How can I tell if my roof flashing is lifting or failing?
From the ground you might notice metal strips that appear curled, bent, or missing near chimneys, skylights, or roof edges. Indoors you may see water stains on ceilings or walls after heavy rain. Because many problems are only visible up close, we recommend a professional inspection. Our Johnson City team uses drones and on-roof assessments to spot lifted flashing, rust, and deteriorated sealant before leaks worsen.
What does a lifted flashing repair involve?
1. Inspection and moisture check to locate all compromised areas. 2. Removal of nails or fasteners holding the damaged flashing. 3. Lifting surrounding shingles or siding pieces without breaking them. 4. Installing new galvanized or aluminum flashing cut to size, secured with corrosion-resistant fasteners. 5. Sealing seams with premium roof caulk compatible with Johnson City’s temperature swings. 6. Refastening shingles and performing a water-tightness test. Most residential repairs take just a few hours and leave no visible trace once complete.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of repairing lifted flashing?
In many cases, yes. Insurance policies typically cover sudden, storm-related damage, and lifted flashing is commonly caused by wind or hail—events prevalent in Johnson City. We document the damage with photos, provide a detailed written estimate, and can meet your adjuster onsite to streamline the claims process. Normal wear and tear or neglected maintenance, however, may not be covered, so acting quickly is important.
Can you match my existing roof materials and color during the repair?
Absolutely. Before starting work we identify your shingle manufacturer, color blend, and flashing metal type. We maintain relationships with local Johnson City suppliers who stock most regional shingle lines and metals. If an exact match is discontinued, we’ll source the closest alternative and place it in low-visibility areas to ensure a seamless appearance.
