Protecting the Most Leak-Prone Areas of Your Roof
Flashing repair is one of the most requested services we provide at ARCM Roofing, and for good reason. Metal flashing protects the most leak-prone areas of your roof, including chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys. When it fails, water finds its way in fast.
Chimney Flashing Specialists
We repair step flashing, counter flashing, and cricket flashing around masonry chimneys using galvanized steel, aluminum, and copper materials.
Valley Flashing Restoration
Our crews replace corroded W valley and open valley flashing before rust eats through and rainwater reaches your decking — the same failure points behind most valley leaks.
Skylight and Vent Pipe Sealing
We reseat pipe boots, repair skylight flashing kits, and waterproof roof penetrations with professional grade sealants.
Drip Edge and Kickout Flashing
Missing kickout flashing routes water behind siding. We install it correctly the first time.

A leaking roof can't wait. Our top-rated technicians respond quickly, diagnose the failure point, and repair it right.

Warning Signs
Signs You Need Flashing Repair
Flashing repair becomes necessary when the metal barriers protecting your roof joints corrode, lift, separate, or crack. Homeowners often miss the early warnings. Here are five signs our expert technicians look for during every inspection.
Water Stains on Ceilings Near the Chimney
Brown rings on drywall below your chimney almost always trace back to failed step flashing or deteriorated counter flashing. The mortar joints holding counter flashing in place crumble over time, and water slips behind the metal.
Rust Streaks or Visible Corrosion
Galvanized flashing loses its protective zinc coating after years of exposure. Once orange rust appears in your valleys or around vent stacks, perforation follows. Corroded valley flashing channels water straight into your roof decking.
Lifted or Bent Flashing Sections
High winds pry flashing away from walls and chimneys. Even a small gap lets wind-driven rain penetrate the roof system. If you spot metal sticking up along a sidewall or dormer, schedule a flashing repair before the next storm.
Cracked or Dried Sealant
Roofing cement and caulk shrink and split as they age. Failed sealant around pipe boots, skylight curbs, and headwall flashing creates hairline entry points for moisture. Fresh sealant alone rarely solves the problem; the underlying flashing often needs replacement.
Damp Attic Insulation or Mold Odor
Moisture from failed flashing frequently collects in the attic before it ever stains a ceiling. Wet insulation, darkened rafters, and musty smells all point to a slow leak at a flashing junction. Our team traces the water path back to the source and repairs it.
Spot rust, lifted metal, or a stain near the chimney? Schedule an inspection before the next storm finds the gap.
How We Work
Our Flashing Repair Process
Flashing repair at ARCM Roofing follows a proven, systematic process that finds every failure point and seals it permanently.
01
Comprehensive Roof Inspection
A qualified technician examines all flashing locations, including chimneys, valleys, sidewalls, headwalls, skylights, and penetrations. We document damage with photos and moisture readings.
02
Detailed Written Estimate
You receive a clear scope of work that lists the flashing sections we'll repair or replace, the materials we'll install, and the total cost. We answer your questions before you sign anything.
03
Careful Removal
Our crew lifts the surrounding shingles or roofing material without breaking them, then extracts the damaged flashing. We inspect the decking and underlayment beneath for hidden rot.
04
Precision Installation
We cut and bend new flashing to fit each joint exactly. Step flashing gets woven into every shingle course. Counter flashing gets embedded into fresh mortar joints or reglets. Every seam receives professional grade sealant.
05
Waterproofing and Integration
We install ice and water shield membrane beneath the new flashing where codes require it, then reseat the shingles and seal all fasteners.
06
Final Inspection and Cleanup
A supervisor verifies the repair, runs a water test when conditions allow, and walks you through the completed work. We haul away all debris and sweep the site with magnets to collect stray nails.

FAQs
FAQs About Flashing Repair
›What is flashing repair?
Flashing repair is the process of fixing or replacing the thin metal barriers that seal joints where your roof meets chimneys, walls, skylights, and vents. These metal pieces direct water away from seams that shingles alone can't protect.
›When should I schedule flashing repair?
Schedule service as soon as you notice rust, lifted metal, cracked sealant, or interior water stains. Spring and fall inspections catch most flashing problems before they cause structural damage.
›Why does flashing fail?
Thermal expansion loosens fasteners over time. Sealants dry out and crack. Galvanized coatings corrode after 15 to 20 years of exposure. Storms bend and displace flashing sections. Poor original installation accelerates all of these failures.
›How long does flashing repair take?
Most residential flashing repairs take two to six hours. A full chimney reflash with new counter flashing set into mortar joints may take a full day.
›Can I repair flashing myself?
Homeowners sometimes apply caulk over damaged flashing, but that's a temporary patch, not a repair. Proper flashing repair requires removing shingles, weaving in new step flashing, and integrating the metal with the underlayment. Our qualified technicians handle it safely and correctly.
›Does homeowners insurance cover flashing repair?
Policies typically cover flashing damage caused by storms, hail, or fallen debris. Wear from age usually falls outside coverage. We document all damage with photos to support your claim when weather causes the failure.
