Roof Flashing Repair

Small Repairs. Big Protection.

Roof flashing may not be the most visible part of your roof, but it plays one of the most important roles—keeping water out of the most vulnerable areas. When flashing becomes loose, cracked, rusted, or improperly sealed, it can cause serious leaks—even if your shingles are in perfect condition.

At Dallas Roof Repair Co., we help homeowners and business owners get matched with skilled roofers who know how to repair flashing the right way. Whether it’s around chimneys, vents, skylights, or valleys, properly installed flashing ensures your roof stays watertight and weather-resistant.

You don’t need a full roof replacement—just smart, targeted repairs to the problem areas.

What Is Roof Flashing?

Roof flashing is the thin metal material—typically aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper—used to direct water away from seams, joints, and transitions in your roof. These are the places most likely to leak, including:

Chimney bases
Skylights
Roof valleys
Plumbing vent pipes
Dormers
Edges where roof sections meet vertical walls (sidewalls and headwalls)

Without properly installed and sealed flashing, these areas are vulnerable to moisture intrusion, rot, mold, and interior water damage.

Why Flashing Repairs Matter

Even a small gap or crack in flashing can lead to water getting beneath the shingles or behind your siding. Over time, this can cause hidden damage that’s expensive to fix later. Flashing repairs are one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of your roof and protect your home.

Common causes of flashing damage:

Weathering from sun, wind, or hail

Improper installation or inadequate sealing

Rust or corrosion, especially on older roofs

Movement or shifting from roof expansion and contraction

Age-related wear on caulk or sealant

Flashing problems don’t fix themselves—they slowly get worse. That’s why a timely repair can prevent major water damage inside your home.

Signs You May Need Flashing Repair

You may not always see the flashing itself from the ground, but there are still warning signs you can look out for:

Water stains on ceilings or walls near a chimney or vent

Leaks during heavy rain, especially near roof features

Visible rust or separation in flashing from below

Mold or mildew in the attic or crawlspace

Shingles lifting near chimneys or skylights

Common Types of Flashing We Help You Repair

Flashing comes in many forms, each with a specific purpose. The roofers in our network are familiar with all of them and know how to repair them based on material and location.

Chimney Flashing

Protects the base of the chimney where it meets the roof. Includes step flashing, counter flashing, and apron flashing.

Valley Flashing

Channels water off the roof in areas where two roof planes meet.

Vent Pipe Flashing

Seals the area around vent stacks that penetrate the roof.

Skylight Flashing

Channels water off the roof in areas where two roof planes meet.

Wall/Sidewall Flashing

Protects areas where the roof intersects with a vertical wall.

Drip Edge Flashing

Installed at roof edges to prevent water from running back under shingles.

How Flashing Repairs Work

Flashing repair may sound complicated, but for experienced pros, it’s a streamlined process. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Inspection

The contractor will inspect visible flashing and may also look inside the attic for signs of leaks or rot.

Step 2: Removal of Roofing Material (If Needed)

In most cases, a few shingles or other roof materials will need to be removed to access the damaged flashing.

Step 3: Flashing Repair or Replacement

Damaged flashing is either resealed, re-secured, or replaced entirely depending on its condition.

Step 4: Re-Sealing

Sealant or caulk is reapplied to ensure a watertight bond. This may include using specialized roofing tape or waterproof membranes.

Step 5: Reinstall Shingles or Materials

Any removed roofing materials are reinstalled, leaving your roof intact and protected.

Can flashing be repaired or does it always need to be replaced?

It depends on the condition. If the flashing is simply loose or unsealed, it can often be repaired. If it’s rusted through, cracked, or badly bent, replacement may be necessary—but only for that section.

How long does a typical flashing repair take?

Most flashing repairs can be completed in just a few hours. If additional roofing layers need to be removed and reinstalled, it may take a bit longer, but it’s still much faster than a full roof job.

Will a flashing repair fix my roof leak?

If the leak is due to failed or missing flashing, then yes—a proper repair will stop the leak. Your contractor will confirm that flashing is the source and not something else like damaged underlayment or shingles.

How much does flashing repair cost?

Costs vary depending on location and the type of flashing, but most jobs are highly affordable—especially compared to replacing an entire roof. You’ll usually pay a small fraction of the cost of more extensive roofing work.

Can I repair flashing myself?

Flashing repair requires precision, correct materials, and roofing know-how. Incorrect installation can lead to more leaks or void roofing warranties. It’s best to let a pro handle it, especially on steep or complex rooflines.

Is flashing repair covered by homeowners insurance?

If the damage was caused by a covered event (like wind or hail), your policy might pay for some or all of the repair. Normal wear and tear is usually not covered. It’s a good idea to get a quote and check with your insurer.
