Roof Flashing Repair
Flashing: Small Parts, Most of the Leaks
Shingles shed water across the flat parts of a roof. The trouble spots are the joints: where a roof meets a wall or dormer, where two slopes meet in a valley, and where chimneys, skylights and pipes come through. Metal flashing seals those joints.
Over time flashing can rust, crack, lift in the wind or pull away as the house moves. Rhode Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal salt air speed that up. We replace failed flashing and tie it back in with the shingles, instead of covering it with sealant.
If a lot of flashing is failing on an older roof, a roof replacement may be the better value. We’ll tell you if it is.
Signs to watch for
Signs of Failed Flashing
Catching these early usually means a smaller fix.
🔩
Rusty or lifted metal
Corroded or loose flashing is no longer sealing.
🪣
Tar and caulk patches
Heavy sealant often covers flashing that has failed.
🌬️
Leaks only in wind-driven rain
Water pushed sideways finds gaps in flashing.

Rhode Island weather
Why Rhode Island Roofs Leak
Weather is behind most of the problems we hear about.
🌬️
Coastal wind
Wind off Narragansett Bay and the South County shore can lift and peel shingles loose.
🌧️
Nor’easters
Wind-driven rain looks for any gap, especially at flashing around chimneys, walls and vents.
🧊
Snow & ice dams
Snow that melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eaves can back water up under the shingles.
🌊
Salt air
Near the coast, salt spray is hard on exposed metal like flashing and fasteners.

What is roof flashing?
Thin metal pieces that seal the joints in a roof, at walls, chimneys, skylights, vents, valleys and edges.
Can flashing be repaired without replacing the roof?
Usually, yes. We lift the shingles around the area, replace the flashing and put the shingles back or replace them.
How long does flashing last?
It varies with the metal, how it was installed and how exposed the roof is. Coastal salt air and freeze-thaw cycles shorten its life.
How much does flashing repair cost?
It depends on where it is and how much needs replacing. Request a free quote and we’ll follow up.
