Roof flashing repair in Florida is the fastest way to stop water sneaking past chimneys, pipe boots, and wall seams. We handle tile, shingle, metal, and flat roofs from Naples to Neptune Beach, and we have been doing it since 1997. If your ceiling has a stain or your attic smells damp after a storm, call us and we will find the failure point, not guess at it.
Roof flashing repair in Florida is the work of resealing, re-anchoring, or replacing the metal and membrane pieces that keep water out of the joints where your roof changes direction or meets a penetration. That means chimney counter-flashing, step flashing along walls, pipe boots, valley metal, drip edge, and the sealant lines around skylights. When one of those pieces lifts, corrodes, or gets torn loose in a storm, water runs straight down the deck and into your insulation.
Florida roofs take a beating most of the country never sees. UV index runs high year-round, afternoon thunderstorms dump two inches in an hour, and salt air along the coast eats fasteners and thin-gauge metal. We see flashing leak repair Florida calls spike every June through September, then again after any named storm. If you have been searching roof flashing repair near me Florida and finding only sales pitches, we do the diagnostic work first and show you the moisture meter reading before we quote anything.
Every flashing repair we sell covers the diagnosis, the materials, the labor, and the water test. What it does not cover is unrelated roof damage we find along the way, like a cracked tile field or a soft deck section. We quote those separately and you decide. No bundling, no pressure.
A technician walks the flashing perimeter with a safety harness and checks the attic side with a moisture meter and inspection camera. You get photos of every failure point and a written scope. This is included whether or not you hire us for the repair.
We pull the failed metal, boots, and sealant rather than sealing over them. Old butyl tape and roof cement get scraped back to clean substrate so the new material bonds. Skipping this step is why most cheap flashing repairs fail within two years.
We install new step flashing, counter-flashing, pipe boots, or valley metal matched to your roof system, then bed it with UV-rated sealant from Geocel or Henry. Fasteners are corrosion-rated for your distance from the coast. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranty.
Before we leave, we run water over the repaired area while a second person watches the attic side. You get before-and-after photos, a magnetic nail sweep of your yard and driveway, and a written workmanship warranty on the repair itself.
Old flashing, torn underlayment, broken tile, and sealant tubes leave with us. We do not stack debris in your yard or leave it for your trash pickup. Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra line item on the invoice.
You call (833) 356-1017 or book online. We ask what you are seeing, when it started, and whether it follows a specific storm. Most Florida addresses get an inspection slot within 24 to 48 hours, and active leaks get same-day priority. You get a text when the technician is on the way.
The technician climbs the roof with a safety harness and walks the full flashing perimeter, then checks the attic side with a moisture meter and inspection camera. We photograph every failure point. This takes 45 to 90 minutes on a typical single-family home, and you see the photos before we leave.
You get a line-item scope: which flashing pieces get replaced, which get resealed, what materials we are using, and the total price. No pressure and no same-day-only discount games. If the honest answer is that you need a full roof replacement, we will tell you that instead of selling you a patch.
We set tarps, pull the failed flashing, and install new material. Pipe boots get replaced with EPDM rubber or lead alternatives, step flashing gets re-lapped and fastened, and we bed sealant with Geocel or Henry products rated for Florida UV. Most flashing jobs run two to five hours.
Before we pack up, we run a hose test over the repaired area while a second person watches the attic side. You get before-and-after photos, a magnetic sweep for nails, and a workmanship warranty on the repair. If it still drips, we are not done.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Reads water content in decking, insulation, and drywall so we can confirm the leak path from the attic side instead of guessing from the roof.
Slides into tight attic spaces and wall cavities to photograph the actual failure point. You see the evidence, not just our description of it.
Used to lift tile, release old flashing laps, and cut new metal to fit. Clean cuts and controlled lifting are how we avoid breaking tile on removal.
Fastens step flashing, drip edge, and shingles back into place. We hand-set the final fasteners on flashing so nothing gets overdriven through the metal.
Applies Geocel, Henry, and DAP products in controlled beads. Sealant is bedded under the lap, not smeared over the top where UV kills it.
OSHA-compliant fall protection for every roof we climb. Two-story and steep-pitch Florida homes get anchored systems, not just a ladder and hope.
Emergency stabilization after storm damage. Butyl tape seals the tarp edge so wind cannot get under it before the permanent repair.
A cracked pipe boot collar had been leaking into the attic for two seasons. The ceiling drywall was stained across four square feet, and insulation around the pipe was saturated. Two previous companies had smeared roof cement over the boot, which trapped water and made the decking rot worse.
We pulled the failed boot, replaced the rotted decking section, installed a new EPDM boot with butyl tape and UV-rated sealant, and hose tested it. The leak stopped the same day. Total repair ran $520, and the homeowner replaced the stained drywall two weeks later.
Storm wind had pulled the chimney counter-flashing out of the mortar joint and bent it upward. Water ran behind the metal and down the chase, showing up as a ceiling stain eight feet from the chimney. The homeowner had been treating the ceiling for months without finding the source.
We cut new counter-flashing into the mortar joint, re-pointed the joint, replaced the step flashing around the chimney base, and inspected the crown. The repair took five hours and cost $1,180. The ceiling stain stopped spreading within a week.
A tile roof was leaking around a vent penetration. Two prior patches had been applied over the tile, which did nothing because the failure was in the underlayment beneath. The homeowner was quoted a full tile tear-off at over $18,000.
We lifted the tile course around the penetration, replaced the saturated underlayment and the failed flashing beneath it, then reset the original tile. The leak stopped and the tile field stayed intact. The repair ran $1,450, a fraction of the replacement quote.
Most Florida roof leaks we get called to are not roof failures. They are flashing failures that have been running water into the deck for months. Here are the ones we see most and what happens if you leave them alone.
Ask a pro →We replace the failed boot with an EPDM rubber or lead alternative, seal it to the deck with butyl tape and UV-rated sealant, and hose test it. Most pipe boot repairs run $280 to $450 and take under three hours.
We re-lap and re-fasten the step flashing, replace any corroded pieces, and seal the lap with Geocel. On tile roofs we lift and reset the tile course above it. This is the most common flashing repair we do after a named storm.
We cut the counter-flashing back into the mortar joint where it belongs, re-point the joint, and check the crown and cap while we are up there. Chimney flashing jobs run four to six hours and usually include a crown inspection.
We re-flash the curb, replace failed gaskets, and reseal with UV-rated product. If the glass or frame is cracked, we tell you that a reseal will not hold and quote a replacement. No selling a seal on a dead unit.
Most flashing repairs in Florida run $280 to $1,400 in 2026, with the average single-point repair landing around $450 to $700. Pipe boot replacement is usually the cheapest at $280 to $450. Chimney counter-flashing and valley work cost more because of access and material. Tile roofs add labor, and two-story or steep-pitch homes add safety setup time. You get a written price before we start.
The three causes we find most are UV-degraded sealant, corroded or lifted fasteners, and storm-driven uplift that pulls metal out of its lap. Florida's sun cooks sealant in three to five years, and salt air along the coast eats thin-gauge flashing faster. On tile roofs, broken tiles and failed underlayment around penetrations let water in even when the flashing itself looks fine. A moisture meter reading tells us which one you have.
You can reseal a small pipe boot or a lifted edge with roof cement and butyl tape, and it may hold for a season. What you cannot do safely is work at height on a wet Florida roof without fall protection, and you cannot verify the repair from the attic side. Most DIY flashing fixes we get called to were applied over the wrong layer, which traps water and makes the damage worse. The inspection is the hard part.
A single pipe boot or step flashing repair takes two to three hours on site. Chimney counter-flashing or a full valley rebuild runs four to six hours, and tile roof work adds time because tiles have to come up and go back down without breaking. We schedule most jobs within a week of approval, and active leaks get same-day or next-day slots. You do not need to be home for the repair.
We deliver roof flashing repair across Florida with crews routed by region, so a Naples call and a Neptune Beach call both get a real technician, not a subcontractor. Coastal jobs get salt-air-rated fasteners and sealant. Inland jobs get UV-rated product and storm-wind detailing. Wherever you are in the state, the process is the same: diagnose, quote, repair, water test, document.
Emergency Roof Leak RepairWhen water is coming through the ceiling right now, we tarp and stabilize first, then diagnose. Emergency roof leak repair pairs with flashing work because storm uplift is the most common cause of sudden flashing failure on Florida homes.Explore →
Pipe Boot RepairPipe boots are the single most common flashing failure we find in Florida. The rubber collar cracks under UV in three to five years. We replace the boot with an EPDM or lead alternative and seal it to the deck, which stops the drip at the source.Explore →
Flat Roof Leak RepairFlat and low-slope roofs rely on TPO membrane and termination bar flashing rather than step metal. We repair seam failures, wall terminations, and drain flashing, then water test the area. Most flat roof leaks we see trace back to a lifted edge, not the field membrane.Explore →
Missing Shingle Roof RepairMissing shingles expose the flashing lap underneath, and that is where leaks start. We replace the shingles and re-seal the step flashing in the same visit so you are not paying for two separate trips. Matching is easier on newer roofs.Explore →
Tile Roof Leak RepairTile roofs leak at the underlayment and around penetrations, not usually through the tile itself. We lift tiles carefully, repair the flashing and underlayment beneath, and reset the tile. This is the most common flashing repair for tile roofs in Florida.Explore →
Chimney Roof Leak RepairChimney leaks come from failed counter-flashing, cracked crown, or missing cap. We rebuild the counter-flashing into the mortar joint where it belongs, then check the crown. That is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails next rainy season.Explore →
Skylight Leak RepairSkylights leak at the curb flashing and the seal between glass and frame. We re-flash the curb, replace failed gaskets, and reseal with UV-rated product. If the unit itself is cracked, we tell you straight instead of resealing a dead skylight.Explore →
Emergency Roof TarpingAfter a storm, tarping stops the water while you wait for a permanent repair. We secure the tarp over the ridge and flashing line so wind cannot peel it. Tarping is a bridge, not a fix, and we schedule the real repair before we leave.Explore →Water stains spread fast in Florida humidity.
