Owners roofing | Roofing Services in Bothell, WA 98012

In Bothell, our wet climate and seasonal temperature swings are the main culprits. Constant moisture accelerates corrosion on metal flashings, while expansion and contraction from freeze-thaw cycles can weaken seals and cause separation at critical joints around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Regular inspections can catch these issues early before they lead to interior water damage.

Our repair process starts with a careful inspection to assess the full extent of the damage. For corrosion, we often recommend replacing the affected flashing section with new, galvanized or aluminum material for better longevity. For separation, we remove the compromised sealant, properly prepare the surfaces, and re-secure the flashing with high-grade, waterproof sealants and fasteners designed to withstand our local weather.

Absolutely. Prevention is key. When we install a new roof, we use premium, corrosion-resistant flashing materials and employ meticulous installation techniques. We pay special attention to detailing around all penetrations and transitions, ensuring a watertight seal. We also recommend periodic maintenance checks, especially after severe storms, to ensure the flashing integrity lasts for the life of your roof.
