When water stains spread across your ceiling, roof flashing repair Aberdeen WA is usually the fix. We track down failed step flashing, rusted chimney pans and cracked pipe boots, then rebuild them with GAF and Owens Corning materials built for Washington rain. One call, one visit, a dry house.
Roof flashing repair Aberdeen WA is the trade of rebuilding the metal and membrane joints that keep water out of your roof's weakest points, and it is the work we do every day. Flashing sits at chimneys, sidewalls, valleys, vents and skylights, and it takes the brunt of every storm. When it rusts, lifts or pulls loose, water runs straight down a rafter and shows up as a brown ring on your ceiling weeks later. We remove the failed section, replace it with new material, and seal it back into the roof system.
Most Aberdeen homeowners call us after a wet winter, not during one. Grays Harbor County gets steady rain from October through April, and flashing that survived one season often fails the next. If you have spotted a ceiling water stain, attic moisture or a drip near the chimney, a roof flashing repair service Aberdeen can catch it before the plywood rots. We also handle roof flashing leak detection and repair Aberdeen WA for homeowners who know water is getting in but cannot see where.
Every flashing repair we do covers the failed joint, the material around it, and the test that proves it is fixed. If we find related problems while we are up there, we price them separately and let you decide. Here is what is part of the standard job.
We check every penetration, not just the one you called about. Chimney, vents, skylights, valleys and sidewalls all get looked at, plus an attic moisture reading with a moisture meter.
Old step flashing, counter flashing, pipe boots and valley metal come out. We pry carefully so the surrounding shingles and underlayment stay intact wherever possible.
We install new metal or membrane flashing with Henry Company, Tremco or Sika sealant, and set Grace Ice & Water Shield under the new material where the detail calls for it.
We run water over the repair with a hose test kit and watch from inside. If it stays dry, the job is done. If not, we keep working until it does.
You get before-and-after photos of the repair and a written workmanship warranty. If the same joint leaks again within the warranty period, we come back and make it right.
You call +13608991171 or send a message, and we ask three questions: where is the stain, when did it start, and has anyone been on the roof. That tells us whether you need emergency roof flashing repair Aberdeen WA or a scheduled visit. Most Aberdeen jobs get a same-day or next-day slot.
We walk the roof with a ladder stabilizer and check every penetration: chimney, vents, skylights, valleys and sidewalls. Inside, we read attic moisture with a moisture meter and, on tricky leaks, scan with an infrared thermal camera. This takes 45 to 90 minutes and tells us exactly which flashing failed.
You get a clear price before we start. If the flashing is the only problem, the number is small. If we find cracked pipe boots, missing shingles or a failed skylight seal at the same time, we price those separately so you can decide what to do now and what can wait.
We pry out the failed flashing with a flat bar, cut new material to fit, and set it with roofing nails and sealant. Chimney flashing gets new step and counter flashing. Valleys get new metal or membrane. Pipe boots get replaced, not patched. Most repairs take two to four hours.
Before we pack up, we run water over the repaired area with a hose test kit and watch from inside the attic. If it stays dry, we magnet-sweep the lawn for nails and haul away the old material. You get photos of the repair and a workmanship warranty in writing.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Reads water content in attic framing, sheathing and insulation so we know how far the leak has spread before we start cutting.
Shows temperature differences behind walls and ceilings, which helps us trace a hidden leak back to the flashing that is letting it in.
Lets us look at steep or fragile roof sections safely, especially slate and tile, without putting anyone on the surface.
Keeps ladders secure and helps us move flashing material up steep pitches without damaging the roof edge or the gutters.
For precise sealant beads at joints and fast, consistent nailing of new flashing and shingles at the correct pattern.
Used to lift old flashing and cut new membrane cleanly so the repair sits flat and seals properly.
Applies controlled water over the repaired joint so we can confirm the fix from inside the attic before we leave.
A homeowner had a spreading ceiling stain near the fireplace and two failed patch attempts with caulk. The chimney counter flashing had rusted through and water was running behind it into the chase.
We removed the old step and counter flashing, installed new metal with Grace Ice & Water Shield underneath, and sealed the masonry joint. A hose test from the roof showed no water in the attic. Total cost was $540.
A slate roof leaked at the valley every hard rain, and a cracked pipe boot was dripping into the attic. Two other companies had quoted a full re-roof.
We rebuilt the valley flashing, replaced the pipe boot, and reset the surrounding slate without cracking it. The repair came in at $1,150 against a $14,000 re-roof quote. Two winters later it is still dry.
A windstorm tore a vent flashing loose and water was dripping into a hallway ceiling that night. The homeowner called after hours with an active leak.
We tarped the roof the same evening to stop the flow, then returned two days later and replaced the vent flashing and resealed the collar. The ceiling dried out and the stain was painted over. Repair cost was $320.
Most of the leaks we get called to in Aberdeen trace back to one of these failures. Each one is fixable without replacing the roof, and each one gets worse the longer it sits.
Ask a pro →We remove the old step and counter flashing, rebuild the detail with new metal, and seal the masonry joint. Then we hose-test the chimney from the roof while watching from the attic to confirm it is dry.
We replace the boot with a new one sized to the pipe, seal the collar to the roof deck, and check the surrounding shingles. This is one of the fastest, cheapest repairs we do, usually under $300.
We rebuild the valley with new metal or membrane, weave the surrounding shingles back in, and seal the edges. On low-slope valleys we use Grace Ice & Water Shield under the new material.
We replace the flashing around the curb, reseal the unit, and check the glass seal. If the frame itself is cracked, we tell you straight and quote a replacement.
“We had a brown ring spreading on the bedroom ceiling for two weeks. The crew found the chimney counter flashing had lifted and water was running behind it. They rebuilt the flashing, hose-tested it, and the stain stopped growing. Cost was under $500 and they cleaned up every nail.”

✓ Verified“Called after a storm tore a pipe boot loose. They came out the same evening and tarped it, then came back two days later and replaced the boot and resealed the vent. No more drip in the hallway. Straight answers and no pressure to replace the whole roof.”
Ray T.Homeowner, Torry
✓ Verified“Our valley leaked every time it rained hard. Two other companies wanted to re-roof. These guys rebuilt the valley flashing and tied it into the shingles for a fraction of that. Two winters later it is still dry. They showed me photos of the repair before and after.”

✓ VerifiedTypical 2026 pricing in Aberdeen runs $180 to $650 for a single flashing repair, and $650 to $1,800 when a chimney, valley and pipe boots are all involved. Emergency and after-hours calls add a trip charge. The price depends on roof pitch, how much material has to come out, and whether the sheathing underneath is still sound.
You pry out the failed flashing, replace it with new metal or membrane, and seal it into the roof system, then hose-test the joint. Doing it right means new step flashing at the chimney, new pipe boots, and Grace Ice & Water Shield under the new material. We handle the whole job in two to four hours on most Aberdeen homes.

Yes, and it is the most common cause we find. A lifted chimney counter flashing or a cracked pipe boot lets water straight into the attic, where it shows up as a ceiling stain days later. In Aberdeen's rain, one small flashing gap can push several gallons a week into your insulation and drywall.
