Roof edge decking and flashing repaired

The project

This Burke home had a leak problem along the edge of the roof where it meets a siding wall. On a first visit, our team looked at the roof edge, where the old flashing was weathered and the wood trim behind it was stained, and noted where water was getting in.

On the repair day, the crew lifted the shingles and the old flashing along the wall and found the wood decking underneath was stained black from repeated wetting. They cut out the damaged sections and replaced them with new plywood. Then they installed new metal flashing along the wall and tied it back in with the shingles.

With the new decking and flashing in place, the roof edge is solid again and water can run down the roof instead of in behind the wall. The photos below follow the repair from the stained wood to the finished roof. If you have a roof that leaks where it meets a wall, a repair like this can often fix it. We are glad to take a look.
