Dollins Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Saint Louis, MO 63125

In Saint Louis, the primary culprits are our extreme temperature swings and frequent high winds. Heat causes expansion, cold causes contraction, and this repeated stress can loosen or warp flashing seals. Strong winds can physically lift poorly-secured flashing. This compromises the watertight barrier, making your roof vulnerable to leaks around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes.

Our process starts with a thorough inspection to identify all compromised areas. We carefully remove the old, damaged flashing and clean the substrate. We then fabricate and install new, high-grade flashing—typically aluminum or galvanized steel—using industry-best practices for sealing and fastening. This includes proper integration with shingles and underlayment to ensure a durable, weather-resistant barrier tailored to withstand Saint Louis conditions.

Absolutely. Proper flashing is your roof's first line of defense. By securing this critical component, you directly prevent water intrusion, which is the root cause of many larger issues like wood rot, mold growth in attics, damaged insulation, and ceiling stains. Addressing flashing proactively is a cost-effective way to maintain your roof's overall integrity and avoid more extensive, expensive repairs down the line.
