Frequently Asked Questions
Flashing is metal or membrane at roof transitions—walls, chimneys, skylights, valleys, and vents—that directs water over the roofing material instead of under it.
Stains near exterior walls, chimneys, or skylights after rain often trace to flashing gaps. PRC 13 traces the water path on the roof before recommending repair.
Sometimes. Sacramento heat cracks sealant before metal fails. We reseal when metal is sound and replace flashing when corrosion or improper overlap is the root cause.
