Ed's Chimney Flashing Roofing & Repairs | Roofing Services in Milwaukee, WI 53215

Milwaukee's weather, with its heavy snow, ice, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, puts tremendous stress on roof flashings. This can cause the metal to corrode or the seals to lift, leading to leaks. At Ed's, we address this by first inspecting the extent of the damage. For minor corrosion, we clean and reseal with high-grade, flexible sealants. For significant lift or corrosion, we replace the flashing with new, durable metal (like copper or galvanized steel) and install it with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a watertight seal that can withstand our local climate for years to come.

Absolutely, we can often repair flashing without a full roof replacement. During our comprehensive roof inspection, we'll identify the exact source of the problem. If the shingles and roof deck are still in good condition, a targeted flashing repair or replacement is a cost-effective solution. We'll carefully remove the affected shingles, install new, properly-integrated flashing, and re-secure the shingles. This precise repair stops the leak and protects the integrity of your existing roof, saving you the expense of a premature replacement. We'll always give you an honest assessment of what's truly needed.

Yes, they can be connected. When roof flashings fail and water gets underneath your shingles, it can travel along the roof deck and sometimes manifest as water dripping behind your gutters or causing overflow in areas away from the actual leak. Additionally, clogged or improperly sloped gutters can cause water to back up under the roof edge, worsening any existing flashing problems. Our integrated approach allows us to diagnose both systems. We can repair your compromised flashing and also ensure your gutters are properly cleaned, repaired, or replaced to work in harmony, directing all water safely away from your home's foundation and walls.
