Berkeley Roofing Repair: Flashing & Underlayment Experts | Malott & Peterson

Berkeley's coastal winds and temperature shifts can cause metal flashing to expand, contract, and eventually lift or separate. We fix this by carefully inspecting all flashings—at chimneys, skylights, and valleys—resealing them with advanced, flexible sealants or completely replacing sections with durable, corrosion-resistant materials to create a lasting, watertight seal.

Older underlayment, especially felt paper, can break down over time due to moisture trapped from fog and rain, compounded by heat under the roof deck. Our solution involves a thorough inspection and, if needed, a strategic roof repair where we replace deteriorated sections with modern, synthetic underlayment. This material is far more resistant to moisture and tearing, providing a superior secondary barrier for your Berkeley home.

Absolutely. We specialize in targeted repairs that address the exact problem area. For localized issues, we can often remove just the affected shingles, repair or replace the compromised flashing or underlayment beneath, and then re-shingle the section to match your existing roof. This cost-effective approach solves the leak at its source while preserving the overall integrity of your roof.
