Roof Flashing Repair & Replacement
Leaky chimney or skylight? The problem is often the flashing. We connect you with experts who can repair or replace it.
Sealing the Most Vulnerable Areas of Your Roof
Roof flashing is the thin metal material that directs water away from critical areas where your roof meets a vertical surface, like a chimney, wall, or skylight. Damaged or improperly installed flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. LocalXR connects you with skilled roofers who can repair, reseal, or replace your roof flashing to ensure these vulnerable areas are completely watertight.

Flashing Repair FAQs
What is the purpose of flashing?
Flashing is metal sheet work designed to divert water away from areas of your roof that are vulnerable to leaks, such as where vertical walls, chimneys, or vents meet the roof plane.
Why does flashing often fail?
Flashing often fails due to improper installation (often sealed with only caulk instead of metal layering), age, or separation caused by expansion and contraction of the different materials it joins.
