A chimney flashing leak is a common issue here, often caused by weather wear or improper sealing. The best fix involves a thorough inspection to locate the exact failure point—usually in the step flashing or counterflashing. We then remove the old, compromised material, install new flashing with proper integration under the shingles, and seal it with a high-grade, flexible sealant designed for our climate. A proper repair addresses the root cause to prevent future water intrusion.

Nail pops are very common in our area due to temperature swings causing the roof decking to expand and contract, pushing nails up. While a single pop might seem minor, it compromises the shingle seal and creates a direct path for water. Left unaddressed, it can lead to leaks and wood rot. The proper repair involves carefully removing the affected shingle, securing the decking, and renailing with appropriate, corrosion-resistant nails before resealing the shingle.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a severe storm. Our local weather, with heavy snow, ice, and wind, can cause subtle damage that isn't visible from the ground. A proactive inspection allows us to catch minor issues like loose flashing or a few nail pops early, saving you from costly emergency repairs from water damage later on.
