Ray Gilbert & Sons | Roofing Services in Saint Louis, MO 63146

Our detailed roof inspection specifically checks for the early signs of flashing lift or failure, which is a common problem here due to our temperature extremes and wind. We examine the seals around chimneys, vents, and valleys where water intrusion starts. Catching these issues early with a professional inspection allows for a simple, affordable repair, preventing the extensive water damage and mold that can result from a full flashing failure.

Not necessarily. While severe or widespread flashing failure can indicate broader roof issues, our expert roof repair service often addresses localized flashing problems effectively. We assess the overall condition of your roofing materials. If the shingles and decking are sound, we can expertly remove the compromised flashing, repair any underlying water damage to the roof deck, and install new, high-quality flashing sealed to withstand Saint Louis weather, saving you the cost of a full replacement.

Absolutely. Properly installed siding acts as a critical secondary barrier, directing water away from your home's structure if flashing were to ever leak. More directly, our gutter installation and replacement services are vital. Clogged or damaged gutters cause water to overflow and pool against your roof edge and fascia, which accelerates wear and can lead to ice dams in winter—both major contributors to flashing failure. We ensure your gutter system correctly channels water away from your roof's entire perimeter.
