Hopkin's Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Bay City, MI 48706

In Bay City, the most common cause is failing chimney flashing, often due to rust or improper sealing from our freeze-thaw cycles and lake-effect weather. We fix it by carefully removing the old flashing, repairing any underlying roof deck damage, and installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials to prevent future leaks.

Yes, it's considered urgent. Rust compromises the flashing's ability to seal water out. Given our frequent rain and snow in the Saginaw Bay region, even a small gap can lead to significant water intrusion, attic mold, and structural rot over time. We recommend a prompt inspection and repair to prevent much costlier interior damage.

For durability in Bay City's climate, we primarily use aluminum or coated steel (galvanized or Galvalume) for flashing. These materials offer excellent resistance to rust and corrosion from moisture and road salt air. We match the material to your existing roof system and ensure all seams are properly sealed to handle our temperature extremes and precipitation.
