Byrd Roofing | Roofing Services in Saint Louis, MO 63125

Saint Louis experiences significant temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles, which cause the metal flashing to expand and contract. Over time, this movement can break the sealant, loosen fasteners, and lift the flashing away from the roof or chimney. Combined with our occasional high winds and storms, this makes flashing a frequent failure point leading to leaks.

For lifted flashing, our process involves carefully removing the compromised section, thoroughly cleaning and preparing the substrate, and installing new, properly sized flashing. We use the correct fasteners and high-grade, flexible sealants designed for our climate to create a durable, watertight seal that can accommodate natural expansion and contraction.

Absolutely. During a full roof replacement with Byrd Roofing, we proactively address flashing by installing new, code-compliant flashing at all critical junctions—like chimneys, vents, and valleys. We ensure it's integrated correctly with the new underlayment and shingles, using best practices for our region to significantly extend its lifespan and prevent the common failures Saint Louis homes face.
