The Right Flashing for the Job

A common practice of many roofers is to replace some but not all your existing flashings. Re-used roof flashings are prone to leakage and detract from the finished appearance of the new roof.

A quality, metal flashing should be installed at all the critical areas of your roof:

Gutter edges 

 Rake edges

Roof  valleys 

 Roof-to-wall

Step (sidewall  )

Chimney

(especially if you have a brick chimney)

Plumbing vent 

(be sure these are solid lead with a lead cap)

 Skylights

When available use 26 gauge, enamel coated metal flashing. Metal last longer than rubberized flashings and provides a beautiful, finished look to your new roof!
