Flashing and Vent Repair

Cracked vent boots, lifted step flashing, loose counterflashing at a wall, failed sealant around skylights and rusted vent caps let wind-driven rain past a sound roof in Palm Bay, FL. A careful look shows whether the fault is in the boot, flashing, sealant, the shingles around it or the decking below.

Common flashing and vent repairs
Work may include new vent boots, reset step and wall flashing, resealed skylight and chimney flashing, new drip edge, sealing around attic fans and a leak check afterward.

Repair or replace?
The right call depends on the roof's age, the shingles around the penetration and whether leaks keep returning. Ask the contractor to explain the choice before work starts.

Ask about flashing repair and say which vent, wall or skylight leaks and what you see.
