Step and Wall Flashing Repair on Shingle Roofs in Bois D Arc, MO

Step and Wall Flashing Repair on Shingle Roofs in Bois D Arc, MO

Where a shingle roof runs up against a sidewall, it is protected by step flashing: small L-shaped pieces of metal, one per shingle course, woven in so each piece laps over the one below. When a step is missing, rusted through, or was replaced with one long strip of caulk-covered metal, water gets behind the siding.

Bois D Arc, MO Shingle Roof Repair helps homeowners in Bois D Arc, MO find shingle roofing contractors for step and wall flashing repair. The work usually means:

• Removing the shingles along the wall line
• Pulling back siding or trim enough to reach the vertical leg of the flashing
• Installing new step flashing pieces, at least 4 inches up the wall and 4 inches onto the roof
• Adding a kickout flashing at the bottom so water dumps into the gutter, not into the wall
• Re-shingling and resealing the course edges

The kickout is the piece most often missing. Without it, every rain sends a stream down the face of the wall at the roof edge, and the rot shows up inside the wall long before anyone sees it outside.
