Precision flashing work at valleys, chimneys, vents, and skylights using galvanized steel, copper, and aluminum for watertight roof transitions.
Bakersfield Expert Roofing offers professional roof flashing installation and repair in Bakersfield, CA with over 20 years of experience handling residential and commercial roofing projects.
Flashing failures are the single most common cause of roof leaks. Every joint, valley, chimney, vent pipe, and skylight frame requires properly bent and sealed flashing to redirect water away from vulnerable transition points. We fabricate and install step flashing, valley flashing, drip edges, counter flashing, and pipe collars using premium metals selected for compatibility with your roofing material. Each piece is custom-bent to the exact angle of your roof geometry, not pulled from generic pre-formed stock.
We bend flashing on-site using a portable brake to match the exact pitch, angle, and overlap requirements of each transition point. Custom fabrication eliminates the gaps and poor fits that occur with pre-formed generic flashing, which is the primary reason flashing fails prematurely on many roofs.
STEP 1
We inspect every flashing location on the roof — valleys, wall-to-roof junctions, chimney perimeters, vent pipes, skylights, and drip edges. Each point is assessed for sealant failure, corrosion, lifting, and improper overlap that could allow water intrusion.
STEP 2
Failed flashing is removed along with deteriorated sealant and fasteners. The underlying substrate is inspected for moisture damage and repaired as needed. Surfaces are cleaned and dried before new materials are installed.
STEP 3
New flashing is fabricated on-site to exact dimensions, installed with the correct overlap sequence, and sealed with compatible roofing sealant at all termination points. We verify water-shedding direction at every joint before moving to the next section.
Chimneys and skylights require multi-piece flashing assemblies with step flashing, counter flashing, and cricket or saddle diverters to manage water flow around the obstruction. We install complete assemblies using the correct sequence and overlap pattern to prevent water from backing up behind the flashing layers.
On-site custom fabrication with a portable brake ensures each flashing piece matches the exact geometry of your roof transitions.
Complete chimney and skylight assemblies with proper step, counter, and cricket flashing eliminate the most common leak sources.
Material selection matched to your existing roof system — galvanized steel, copper, or aluminum for optimal compatibility and longevity.
Every termination point sealed with manufacturer-compatible sealant and verified for correct water-shedding direction before completion.
Flashing fails from age, thermal movement, poor original detailing, and sealant breakdown at transitions like walls, chimneys, vents, and skylights.
Yes. Many leaks originate at flashing transitions while field shingles still appear intact from the ground.
We reseal when appropriate, but permanent results often require full flashing replacement or rebuild at the failed transition point.
