In Erie's humid, lake-effect climate, flashing corrosion is a frequent issue. Key signs include visible rust or green patina on metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys; water stains on interior ceilings or walls near these penetrations; and granules from shingles accumulating in gutters directly below the flashing. If you notice any of these, it's time for a professional inspection to prevent significant water damage.

Shingle curling in our region is often caused by the extreme temperature swings and moisture exposure common in Western PA. As shingles age, they can curl at the edges (cupping) or in the center (clawing), which compromises their ability to shed water and seal against wind-driven rain. Yes, it's a serious issue—curled shingles are vulnerable to being torn off in storms and allow water infiltration. We recommend an evaluation to determine if targeted repairs or a full replacement is needed to maintain your home's protection.

Our approach starts with a comprehensive, no-obligation inspection to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's failed flashing or deteriorated shingles. For flashing, we remove the corroded sections, prepare the substrate, and install new, high-grade metal flashing sealed with premium urethane or ice-and-water shield for maximum durability. For curled shingles, we assess the underlayment and decking for moisture damage before making precise repairs or recommending a replacement system designed for our local climate, ensuring a long-lasting solution.
