For the most part many of the metal based components you installed in your home or business blend an even benefit of durability but also style. Take copper gutters for example. Yes, they are elegant and attractive – but also very resistant to damage from the elements. One household (or business feature) where looks are almost a side benefit is in regards to metal roof flashing installation.

When it comes to sheet metal roof flashing, it almost comes down to “i don't care what it looks like as long as it keeps the water out.” This approach is taken because flashing is so important in a functional manner. Areas such as around a chimney, thresholds where a house meets, a skylight surround, by dormers, etc. kind of leak more often than they do not. A solid strategy of sheet metal roof flashing, caulk, and regular inspection will make sure water stays where it needs to be – outside of your home or business.

The Aesthetic Benefits of Flashing

Here's the thing about all that functionality of flashing though – it can still be pretty stylish. Yes, flashing performs a crucial protective barrier for your property but when you use components such as tin, copper, galvanized, and other metals they do offer an unavoidable curb appeal boost as well. At least some part of most flashing is going to be exposed, why not take advantage of the sharp contrast that it provides to your overall design?

If you are experiencing leaks or signs of moisture entering your home, the solution may be something as simple as a flashing upgrade. Feel free to contact us for an inspection because leaks don't solve themselves – they only get bigger.
