First Choice Residential and Roofing services | Roofing Services in Poteau, OK 74953

In our area, the most frequent culprit is damaged or worn-out roof flashing—the metal strips around chimneys, vents, and valleys. High winds and heavy rain can loosen or puncture this critical seal. Our process involves a thorough inspection to locate the exact failure point, removing the compromised flashing, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed properly to prevent future leaks. We also check the surrounding shingles for wind damage to ensure a complete repair.

Yes, that's very likely a classic flashing failure, which is a common problem we see in Poteau. The metal step flashing that integrates the chimney with your roof shingles can crack, rust, or pull away over time, especially after severe weather. We'll inspect the chimney base, counter-flashing, and the roof-to-chimney joint. Repair typically involves carefully removing the old flashing, installing new corrosion-resistant metal, and applying a professional-grade sealant for a watertight, durable fix that stands up to our local storms.

We prioritize emergency leak calls from our local community. Our goal is to provide a temporary mitigation solution, such as applying a waterproof tarp to prevent further interior damage, often within 24-48 hours of your call, depending on the severity of the storm event. We'll then schedule a detailed inspection at your earliest convenience to assess the full extent of the damage—whether it's isolated flashing or more widespread issues—and provide a clear plan for a permanent repair.
