What Is Roof Flashing and Why Is It So Important in Roofing?

Contents

If you had to repair or replace your roof in the past, you probably already heard the term “roof flashing.” Flashing is a type of roofing product that is placed at the valleys or the places where the chimney meets the roof in order to prevent leaking. An essentially sealing product, flashing is very important to both the health of your roof and to the protection of your home from water damage.

 

The reason why roof flashing is so important is because rainwater tends to gather around the valleys of the roof, where it can even pool and end up seeping through to the underlayment, decking and attic. If your roof doesn’t have waterproof underlayment then there’s a big chance that the interior structure of the roof, the attic and possibly even your interior walls will end up being affected by water damage.

 

With properly installed flashing, this issue is no longer a relevant threat. Unless the flashing ends up being damaged or worn out over time, it will provide a basically waterproof seal that will protect your roof and home from rainwater. The result could be that your home will be better protected and your roof will also retain its long lifespan without the need for expensive Dexter MI roofing repairs or replacement jobs.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
