In our area, flashing corrosion is often accelerated by freeze-thaw cycles, salt from winter roads, and general moisture. We inspect the affected flashing, carefully remove the corroded sections, and replace them with new, durable metal flashing that's properly sealed and integrated with your existing roofing materials to prevent future leaks and damage.

When we find roof deck rot, our first step is a complete assessment to find the source of moisture—often a failed flashing or shingle. We then remove all compromised decking, treat the surrounding area to inhibit mold, and install new, code-compliant plywood. Crucially, we repair the underlying leak source before re-roofing to provide a permanent solution.

We recommend proactive, annual inspections, especially after severe weather, to catch minor issues with flashing or shingles before they lead to deck rot. Ensuring proper attic ventilation is also key in Michigan to manage moisture and temperature extremes. Using impact-resistant shingles and quality underlayment provides an extra layer of defense specific to our local conditions.
