Roof flashing plays a critical role in keeping water out of vulnerable areas on your home. It is a thin, protective barrier placed around roof features that tend to collect or redirect water, such as vents, skylights and low-slope sections. When flashing is installed properly, it guides water away from openings and toward the drainage system so moisture never has a chance to settle where it doesn’t belong.
For homeowners in the Carolinas, high heat, heavy rain and sudden temperature swings can cause flashing to wear out faster than expected. At Palmetto Roofing Specialties, we use top-grade metals from trusted suppliers because quality materials lead to dependable roofs that stay in place and resist corrosion. Our experienced team takes a careful approach to every installation and repair to ensure your flashing can withstand the demands of seasonal weather.
Chimneys are among the most common trouble spots on residential roofs because they interrupt the flow of shingles and create openings where water can seep inside. Chimney flashing is specifically designed to form a watertight seal around the base of the chimney. When it starts to deteriorate, the risk of leaks increases quickly, often without signs that homeowners notice right away.
Water that gets past the chimney flashing can damage insulation and drywall. Over time, it can also encourage mold growth or compromise the structure around the chimney. That is why addressing flashing concerns early is essential. During a professional inspection, our roofing specialists assess the condition of the metal, check for gaps and evaluate whether the flashing is pulling away from the masonry. If repairs or replacement are needed, we explain your options and are ready to proceed with quality repairs or replacement.
