Roof Flashing Repair in Fargo, ND
Damaged or improperly installed flashing is one of the leading causes of roof leaks on Fargo area homes. Flashing is the metal barrier that seals the joints between your roof surface and vertical structures like chimneys, vents, skylights, and walls. When it fails water finds its way directly into your roof assembly. At Roof Keepers we repair and replace flashing correctly so water stays out for good, not just until the next Fargo winter puts it to the test again.
Why Flashing Fails on Fargo Roofs
Fargo’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on roof flashing. Metal expands and contracts with every temperature change, and over years of Fargo winters that repeated movement loosens seals, pulls flashing away from surfaces, and creates gaps that allow water to enter. Poor original installation accelerates this process significantly. Flashing that was not properly embedded, sealed, or overlapped will fail faster than it should and often causes serious water damage before the homeowner realizes anything is wrong.
Types of Flashing We Repair and Replace
Chimney flashing. Step flashing and counter flashing around chimneys is one of the most common leak sources on older Fargo homes. We repair and replace chimney flashing completely to stop water intrusion at the source.
Pipe boot flashing. Cracked or deteriorated rubber pipe boots around plumbing vents are one of the most overlooked sources of water intrusion on FM area roofs. We replace failing pipe boots before they cause decking damage.
Roof edge flashing. Drip edge and rake flashing that has pulled away or corroded allows water to run behind your fascia boards and into your roofline.
Valley flashing. Metal valley flashing that has corroded or pulled away from the roof surface creates leak points in one of the highest water volume areas of your roof.
Skylight flashing. Step and counter flashing around skylights that has failed or was improperly installed allows water to run behind the skylight frame and into your roof assembly.
Vent and whirlybird flashing. Any roof penetration requires proper flashing and sealing. We repair and replace flashing around all types of roof vents and mechanical penetrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my flashing needs to be repaired?
A: Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls near chimneys, skylights, or vents, visible rust or corrosion on metal flashing components, and gaps or lifting at flashing edges visible from the ground. A complimentary inspection is the most reliable way to assess your flashing condition accurately.
Q: Can flashing be repaired or does it need to be fully replaced?
A: It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor lifting or sealant failure can often be repaired. Corroded, cracked, or improperly installed flashing typically needs to be replaced completely to provide a lasting watertight seal. We give you an honest assessment of which approach makes sense for your situation.
Q: Is flashing repair included in a roof inspection?
A: Yes. We assess all flashing points during every complimentary roof inspection and identify any areas that need attention before recommending any repairs.
