Roof Flashing Repair in Bothell, WA
Most leaks start at the flashing. We rebuild it properly.
Ask any experienced roofer where leaks come from and you'll hear the same answer: the flashing. The metal pieces that seal roof-to-wall joints, chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys handle all the movement and water concentration on a roof — and when they corrode, lift, or were installed poorly, water gets in. Roof Leak Repair Services specializes in roof flashing repair across Bothell, WA.
There's a right way and a wrong way to fix flashing. The wrong way is a tube of caulk smeared over the problem — it fails within a season or two. The right way is removing the failed flashing, installing new step, counter, or continuous flashing correctly layered with the roofing and underlayment, and sealing it to last.
When You Need Roof Flashing Repair
- Leaks near chimneys, skylights, dormers, or where the roof meets a wall
- Visible rust, gaps, or lifted metal around roof penetrations
- Caulk or tar smeared over old flashing (a sign of past failed fixes)
- Water stains on walls just below roof intersections
- Shingles pulling away from walls or chimneys
What Our Roof Flashing Repair Visit Includes
- Expose: We carefully remove surrounding shingles or roofing to access the full flashing detail.
- Remove: Failed, corroded, or incorrectly installed flashing comes out.
- Rebuild: New flashing goes in, correctly layered: step flashing, counter-flashing, apron, or valley metal as the detail requires.
- Integrate: Underlayment and roofing are woven back in so water sheds over — never under — the metal.
- Seal & verify: We seal with compatible products, replace the roofing, and verify drainage paths are clear.

Roof Flashing Repair FAQs
Caulk is a sealant, not a flashing system. On a properly built detail it's a backup; on a failed one it's a bandage. We rebuild the metal work correctly so the detail functions without depending on caulk.
Galvanized steel is standard; we use aluminum or copper-compatible details where the existing roof requires it. The key is matching metals to avoid galvanic corrosion.
Properly installed flashing typically lasts 20–30 years — often outliving the shingles around it. That's why doing it right matters.
