Our roof was replaced due to storm damage. Ben Davis was a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the process, communicated successfully with our insurance provider. The roofing installers worked long hours to complete the job.

They replaced my roof, gutters, copper on bay windows, as well as replacing/painting 5 dormers. Ben made multiple trips to ensure everything was completed with the quality he demands. We were in constant communication, and we could not be happier with the finished work.

I was dreading the process of replacing our roof and dealing with all the roof sales people. Ben is a no nonsense guy, gets to there point and tells it how it is. He clearly explained everything and walked me through the process.
Why Failed Flashing Causes So Many Roof Leaks
Service overview
Roof Flashing Repair in Raleigh: What We Fix
Flashing is the sheet metal, and on vents the rubber collar, that turns water away at each joint in a roof. It works only when every piece overlaps the one below it, the way shingles do. Most of the failures we open up are not worn-out metal. They are pieces installed in the wrong order, pieces that were never installed, or joints buried under sealant that has since cracked. Our roof flashing repair work in Raleigh starts by lifting enough shingle to see how the joint was built, then rebuilding the failed section correctly.
01
Chimney flashing
A brick chimney needs two layers. Step flashing is woven into each shingle course along the sides, and counter flashing is set into the mortar joints and folded down over it.

When counter flashing is face-nailed or glued to the brick instead of cut into a joint, it pulls loose as the masonry and metal move through the seasons. We explain the step and counter flashing work needed at your chimney and include it in the written scope. A wide chimney catches water and leaves on its high side, so ask whether a cricket is appropriate and whether that work is included .
02
Sidewall, headwall and kickout flashing
Where a roof slope runs into a second-story wall or dormer, every shingle course gets its own L-shaped step flashing, tucked behind the housewrap and siding. At the bottom of that run, a kickout turns the water into the gutter instead of down the face of the wall.

A missing kickout is a well-known cause of rotted sheathing below rooflines on two-story homes from Cary to Wake Forest, and it often goes unnoticed until the siding softens. Repairing it properly can mean removing and resetting a few courses of siding .
03
Pipe boots, vents and penetrations
Plumbing stacks, exhaust vents, attic fans and solar mounts all puncture the roof. Rubber pipe boots crack as they age in direct sun, and metal vent flanges rust or get nailed through the top where water finds the nail.
Read moreRead less
We replace failed boots and flanges with new units slid under the upslope shingles, so the flange sheds water without depending on sealant . Around solar panels, we rebuild the flashing at each mount in the leak area.
04
Skylight, valley and edge metal
Skylight curbs carry their own flashing kit, and valley metal and drip edge are flashing too. We check them in the same visit; full skylight replacement is covered on our VELUX skylights page.
If the flashing failed because the shingles around it are worn out, we will show you that and explain the options rather than build new metal into an old roof.
Why Pro Performance
Why Raleigh Homeowners Trust Us With Flashing Repair
Rebuilt in the Right Lap Order
Each piece of flashing should shed water onto the piece below it. We take the failed section apart and rebuild it in that sequence, rather than pumping sealant into the gap and hoping it holds.
Sealant Is Not a Flashing
Sealant has a place on a few exposed fastener heads. It does not replace step or counter flashing, and we will not sell it to you as if it did. When a tube of caulk is the wrong answer, we say so.
We Check What the Water Reached
A wall or chimney leak often soaks the sheathing before anyone sees a stain. We probe for soft wood where the flashing failed, so you hear about hidden damage now.
Installers Who Flash Every Roof
The same crew that installs every Pro Performance roof does this work, with a production manager on site for the project. Rebuilding chimney and wall flashing is part of every new roof they put on.
Our process
How a Flashing Repair Visit Works
1
Point Us to the Joint
Call or use the form. Tell us where water appears inside and what sits above it on the roof: a chimney, a wall, a vent or a skylight.
2
Open It Up and Look
We lift the shingles around the suspect joint to see how the flashing was built and where water gets past it. Any diagnostic fee is disclosed before we schedule.
3
Written Repair Scope
You get a plain explanation of what failed, which pieces we will replace and the price, in writing before work starts.
4
Rebuild and Weave It In
The crew installs new flashing, laps it into the wall and shingles in the right order and reweaves the roof over it.

Pricing
How Much Does Roof Flashing Repair Cost in Raleigh?
Flashing is priced by the joint, not by the square. Swapping a cracked pipe boot is the simplest job. Rebuilding step and counter flashing on a two-story chimney means removing shingles, cutting mortar joints, bending new metal and reweaving the roof around it. A sidewall or kickout repair may involve pulling and resetting siding, and rotted sheathing behind it adds scope. Pitch, height and access change the price too.
We quote roof flashing repair in Raleigh after we have opened the joint and seen how it was built, so the number reflects the real work. A flashing diagnostic visit may carry a fee . You hear about it before booking, and it comes off the bill when our crew completes the repair.
Your written price holds unless you approve a change first. If hail or wind bent or tore the flashing, your homeowners policy may cover the repair; we raise that with you first, so you can decide about a claim before spending your own money.

Roof Flashing Repair FAQ
How do I know if my roof flashing needs repair?
The clearest sign is a leak that shows up near something that passes through or meets the roof: a stain below a chimney, a wet spot where a ceiling meets an exterior wall, or drips around a bath fan. From the ground, look for metal pulling away from brick, cracked rubber around vent pipes, or tar smeared over joints. An on-roof look confirms whether flashing repair is the fix.
How much does roof flashing repair cost in Raleigh?
It depends on which joint failed and what it takes to reach it. A pipe boot costs far less to replace than a chimney reflash that needs mortar work and new counter flashing. We quote roof flashing repair after opening the joint, in writing. Any diagnostic fee is named when you book and credited back once our crew does the repair.
How long does roof flashing repair take?
A single vent boot is a short visit. Chimney and sidewall flashing take longer, because shingles must come up course by course and the new metal must be woven back in. If siding has to be removed at a wall, or we find soft sheathing behind the old flashing, we explain the added time before continuing.
Do you offer same-day flashing repair?
Call to ask about the next available visit. If water is entering the property, tell us that first and ask about temporary protection. Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof.
Can flashing be resealed instead of replaced?
Sometimes, briefly. Fresh sealant on an exposed nail head or a lifted storm collar can be a reasonable stopgap. But when step flashing is missing, counter flashing is glued to the face of the brick, or a boot has split, sealant only delays the next leak. We tell you which situation you are in and quote the flashing repair that actually solves it.
Should flashing be replaced when I get a new roof?
Yes, in almost every case. Step flashing is woven into the shingles, so it comes off with the old roof, and reusing tired metal under a brand-new shingle field is a common source of early leaks. On a replacement, the written scope explains which flashing components will be installed. If your roof is close to the end of its life, a full replacement may be the better use of a flashing repair budget.
What is kickout flashing, and does my house need it?
A kickout is a small angled piece at the bottom of a roof-to-wall joint that turns water away from the wall and into the gutter. Any house where a roof edge ends against a sidewall needs one. Without it, water runs down behind the siding and can rot the sheathing and framing below. We check for missing kickouts during every flashing repair visit along a wall.
Do you fix flashing around solar panels and roof fans?
Yes. Rooftop solar keeps spreading, and every solar mount, conduit and attic fan is a hole in the roof, and each needs its own flashing tied into the shingles. We have traced leaks to panel mounts installed without proper flashing and rebuilt it at each one. For fans, we check the base flashing and the cover fastening at the same time.
