The Flashy Flashing 101

So, what’s this ‘Roof Flashing Protection’ all about? In a nutshell, it’s that thin piece of metal etched under shingles or other roof-covering material, endeavoring tirelessly to prevent water from seeping into your home. The locations most prone to water leakage, like vents, chimney, valleys or the joints where roofing meets walls, are where these unsung heroes don their capes.

How to Fix Flashing On Roof – Step-by-Step Guide

Got a winky-dinky hole or maybe, a full-blown defect on your roof flashing? Fear not! As promised, we’re here with our trusty toolkit to guide you how to make those minor repairs.

Step 1: Get started

Preparation is key. Buy a strip of flashing, a pair of roofing nails, and some roofing caulk. Don’t forget your safety gear! You’re about to become a roofing superhero, after all.

Step 2: Remove Damaged Flashing

Remove the damaged flashing carefully, to avoid causing any further damage to your roof covering. Remember to handle it delicately, its feelings have already been hurt enough already!

Step 3: Position New Flashing

Ready to install the shining new knight of protection? Position the flashing strip in the right place. Make sure its edges overlay the seams where the leaks happen to hang out.

Step 4: Secure the Flashing

Use those roofing nails to secure the flashing. Don’t go all Hulk on it though; gentleness will do the trick.

Step 5: Apply Roofing Caulk

Apply the roofing caulk along the nailed edges. This is like shaping the armor on our brave flashing, creating an extra layer of protection.
