Flashing connects the roof to the parts that interrupt it
At a wall, individual step-flashing pieces overlap with the shingle courses to carry water down the roof. Counterflashing protects the upper edge at masonry. A vent pipe uses a different shaped base and collar. These parts solve different water paths.
When metal pulls away, a collar splits or a poorly lapped joint lets water behind it, a surface smear does not rebuild the connection. We open enough covering to understand and restore the affected layers.
What the repair can involve
Wall and chimney joints
Work can involve replacing step flashing, rebuilding counterflashing and tying underlayment into the joint. Masonry or siding conditions can affect how the connection is completed.
Valleys
Valleys concentrate water from adjoining slopes. Damage or debris at the valley and the condition of its lining and shingle edges determine the work.
Vents and other openings
The base flashing must integrate with the covering. A new collar alone will not repair a damaged base or soft deck beneath the opening.
Why the surrounding roof matters
Adjoining shingles need to lift without breaking, and the deck has to hold the new work. Brittle material or water-damaged wood widens the repair. That is why the final scope is about restoring a connection rather than sealing only the visible gap.
Tell us where water appears and when you first noticed it. We will work back to the roof detail and explain whether the repair stays local or needs to extend farther.
