In our area, flashing issues are often caused by Minnesota's extreme temperature swings. The constant expansion and contraction of metal during freeze-thaw cycles can weaken seams and fasteners, leading to separation. Corrosion is accelerated by moisture, road salt in the air, and the chemical reaction between dissimilar metals, like aluminum flashing against a steel chimney. A professional inspection can identify the specific cause and the best repair strategy for your home.

Our repair process begins with a thorough inspection to assess all damage. For minor corrosion, we clean and seal the area with high-grade, flexible sealants. For separation or severe corrosion, we typically recommend a complete replacement of the affected flashing section. We use compatible, durable metals and install them with proper overlap and secure fastening techniques designed to withstand local weather stresses, ensuring a watertight seal for years to come.

We recommend addressing flashing issues as soon as they're discovered, regardless of the season. A small separation can allow melting snow and ice dam water to seep into your attic, causing immediate damage. Our team is equipped to perform safe, effective repairs year-round. We take extra precautions in winter to ensure the work area is clear and secure, using cold-weather approved sealants and materials to guarantee a proper seal even in low temperatures.
