AfterFlashing Repair in Houston, TX
Roof Repair for flashing in Houston typically runs between $200 and $600 for most single-area fixes, depending on where the leak is and whether we’re replacing a small section or re-flashing an entire chimney. Most flashing repairs take our crew two to four hours once we’re on site. If you’re seeing water stains on a ceiling or wall after hard rain, call Tilehurst Roofing Houston at (254) 566-3573 and we’ll get someone out to look before the next storm rolls through.
Flashing is the metal material, usually aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper, that seals the joints where your roof meets something else. Chimneys, vent pipes, skylights, dormers, and the valleys where two roof slopes meet all depend on flashing to keep water moving down and off the roof instead of into your attic. When flashing fails, water has a direct path into your home. It’s one of the most common sources of roof leaks we see in Houston, and it’s also one of the repairs where getting it right the first time matters most. That’s the work we do every week, and it’s a core part of the Roof Repair in Houston service we provide.
Tilehurst Roofing Houston is a local member of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and we built our reputation on a simple rule: written price before any work starts, written guarantee on every repair. Greg Holloway runs our Houston operation, and he’s the one you’ll talk to when you call. No call center, no runaround.
When You Need Flashing Repair
Flashing problems don’t always announce themselves loudly. In Houston, where we get 50-plus inches of rain in a normal year and sudden downpours are a weekly event from May through September, small flashing gaps can turn into a Leak Repair situation with soaked drywall and mold before you realize anything’s wrong. Here are the signs we tell homeowners to watch for:
- Water stains on ceilings or upper walls after rain. A brown or yellow ring spreading from a ceiling corner, especially near a chimney or exterior wall, is usually flashing, not shingles. Water follows the path of least resistance, and failed flashing gives it an easy route straight down.
- Damp spots in the attic around chimneys, vents, or skylights. If you can see daylight around a vent pipe from inside your attic, or the wood sheathing around your chimney is dark and soft, the flashing has separated or corroded.
- Curled, cracked, or missing metal at roof joints. Houston’s heat and humidity are hard on flashing. Galvanized steel eventually rusts through, and aluminum can crack from thermal expansion. If you can see rust streaks or a gap where flashing should sit tight against the chimney or pipe, it’s time to fix it before the next storm.
- Granules from shingles collecting in gutters near valleys. Valley flashing works hard during heavy rain, and when it starts to fail, the shingles around it erode faster. If you’re seeing heavy granule loss concentrated in one valley, the flashing underneath may already be compromised.
- Your roof is 15 or more years old and you’ve never had flashing inspected. Flashing often degrades faster than shingles. A roof that’s still shedding water up top can have flashing that’s quietly failing at the edges and penetrations. In neighborhoods like Westbury, Meyerland, and Timbergrove where homes were built in the 1960s and 70s, we regularly replace original flashing on roofs that have had shingles replaced once or even twice.
- You’ve had a “roof repair” that didn’t stop the leak. This one comes up more than you’d think. Another contractor patched shingles, didn’t touch the flashing, and the leak came back with the next rain. Water intrusion near a chimney or vent is almost always a flashing problem first. We fix the actual source, and our written guarantee means we come back free if it doesn’t hold.
If any of these sound familiar, call us at (254) 566-3573. A quick phone conversation is usually enough to tell you whether we’re likely looking at flashing or something else, and we’ll give you an honest read either way.
Our Flashing Repair Process
We follow the same Kingswell Way on every flashing repair, whether it’s a small bathroom vent or a full chimney re-flash. The process is straightforward because we’ve done it thousands of times, and we want you to know exactly what to expect from the moment you pick up the phone.
- Inspection and written price. One of our background-checked, uniformed technicians comes out, inspects the flashing and the surrounding roof area, and shows you what’s going on. You get a written price before any work starts, every single time. No pressure, no “let me call my boss” adjustments at the door.
- Removal of the old flashing. We remove the failed flashing and inspect the roof decking, underlayment, and surrounding shingles underneath it. In Houston’s climate, we often find hidden rot around chimneys and skylights where water has been seeping in longer than the homeowner realized. If we find it, we show you and we talk about it before we do anything else.
- Installation of new flashing. We install new flashing matched to your roof type and the penetration we’re sealing. We can source materials from any of the major manufacturers we work with, including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, so the product fits your home and your roof’s specific configuration. We use the right metal for Houston’s humidity, and the right sealant, and we install it so water sheds away from the joint, not into it.
- Sealing and shingle reintegration. We re-seat the surrounding shingles, replace any that were damaged during removal, and seal every seam so the repair is watertight from the first rain. If you had a leak, this is the step where it actually stops.
- Written guarantee, delivered before we leave. Every flashing repair comes with our written guarantee, handed to you before the crew drives away, not emailed to you a week later. The guarantee spells out exactly what we did, what’s covered, and what happens if anything goes wrong: we come back and fix it at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. You get a full year of documented accountability on every flashing repair we install.
- Site clean-up and final walkthrough. We leave the place cleaner than we found it. Old flashing, nails, roofing debris, all gone. Then we walk the roof with you if you’d like, show you the finished repair, and answer whatever questions you have.
Most flashing repairs are done the same day we start them. Larger jobs, like full chimney re-flashing on a steep roof or replacing valley flashing across multiple sections, might take a second day, and we’ll tell you that clearly in the written price before we begin.
Flashing Repair Pricing in Houston
You deserve to know the number before you call. Here’s How Much Does Roof Repair Cost? (2026 Price Guide) - Houston, TX for flashing work, based on what we do every day:
- Pipe boot or vent flashing replacement: $200 to $350. This is the most common flashing repair we do, and it’s usually a one-hour job if the roof decking underneath is still solid.
- Chimney flashing repair (small section, one side): $350 to $550. This covers replacing flashing on one face of a chimney, including new step flashing and counter-flashing.
- Full chimney re-flashing (all four sides): $600 to $1,100. Full re-flashing means removing the old flashing around the entire chimney, checking the masonry, and installing new step and counter-flashing with a proper cricket if the chimney is on a slope. Chimneys over 30 inches wide on the downhill side should have a cricket, and many older Houston homes don’t, which is exactly why they leak.
- Skylight flashing replacement: $450 to $800. Skylight flashing kits vary by brand and size, and labor runs higher because the flashing has to integrate with the skylight’s own weather seal.
- Valley flashing repair or replacement: $500 to $900 per valley. If a valley is leaking, we usually need to remove shingles along both slopes, inspect the underlayment, and re-install the valley metal before putting the shingles back.
- Drip edge replacement along eaves or rakes: $350 to $600 for a typical single-story home. Drip edge is the flashing that hangs off the roof’s edge and directs water into the gutters. If it’s rusted or pulling away, water runs down fascia boards and into soffits.
What changes the price, usually by a lot, is what we find underneath. In Houston, with our heat, humidity, and occasional hurricane-season storms, a flashing leak that’s been going for a while often means rotted decking or damaged underlayment around the leak point. If we need to replace decking, that’s an additional cost, and we show you exactly what we’re seeing before we touch it, with a written price for the additional work before any of it starts. That’s the no-hassle upfront pricing part: you always know what you’re being asked to approve, in writing, before work begins.
Every flashing repair quote is free. Call us at (254) 566-3573 and we’ll send someone out to inspect and give you a written price. No obligation, no high-pressure close, just a straight answer and a number.
Materials We Use
We’re not tied to one manufacturer, and we don’t just install whatever happens to be on the truck. We can source flashing and roofing materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Boral, along with several others, so the product matches your home and your budget. For flashing specifically, we choose the metal and gauge based on what your roof needs: aluminum for most residential work, galvanized steel where strength matters, and copper for homeowners who want a flashing that will outlast the shingles themselves, especially on older homes in neighborhoods like Southampton and Boulevard Oaks where period authenticity matters.
What to Expect When You Call
A live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s not a promise we make lightly, it’s how we operate. You’ll talk to someone at Tilehurst Roofing Houston who can schedule your inspection, answer basic questions about flashing repair, and get you on the calendar fast. If you’ve been burned by voicemail tag with other roofing companies, you’ll notice the difference immediately.
FAQs – Flashing Repair
How much does flashing repair cost in Houston?
Most flashing repairs in Houston run between $200 and $600 for single-area fixes like a vent pipe boot or one side of a chimney, while full chimney re-flashing or valley replacement can run $600 to $1,100 or more depending on scope and what we find underneath. The written price you get before any work starts is exactly what you’ll pay for the flashing work we scope. Call (254) 566-3573 for a free inspection and a written quote that same visit.
How long does flashing repair take?
Most flashing repairs take two to four hours once we’re on site, and the majority are completed the same day. Full chimney re-flashing or valley flashing replacement may take a second day, and we’ll tell you that clearly in your written price before starting. Call us at (254) 566-3573 to schedule an inspection and we’ll give you a realistic timeframe for your specific roof.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace flashing?
Repairing flashing is almost always less expensive than replacing it, and for a small leak around a vent pipe or one chimney face, repair is usually the right call. But if the flashing is rusted through in multiple places or the underlying decking is rotted, replacement is cheaper in the long run because it will actually last. We’ll show you what we see and let the evidence make the decision, with the written price for each option in your hands.
Can you fix flashing the same day?
In many cases, yes. For straightforward flashing repairs, like a pipe boot or a small chimney section, we can often complete the work the same day we inspect it. Call (254) 566-3573 as soon as you notice a leak or see damaged flashing, and we’ll get you scheduled. A live person answers around the clock, and if we can’t get to you the same day, we’ll tell you exactly when we can, in writing.
Why Flashing Work Is Different in Houston
Houston’s weather does specific things to flashing. The heat and humidity accelerate rust on galvanized steel. The summer sun expands metal, and the winter temperature drops contract it, which over years creates micro-cracks at fastener points. Then you’ve got hurricane season, when wind-driven rain hits flashing from angles it was never designed to handle. In suburbs like Katy, Cypress, and Sugar Land, where homes are newer but built fast, we see Flat Roof Patch flashing that was installed quickly and cheaply failing surprisingly early. In older Houston neighborhoods like Oak Forest and Spring Branch, we see original flashing from the 1950s and 60s that has simply outlived its service life. The repair approach differs depending on what we’re dealing with, but the priority is always the same: stop the water, seal it correctly, and give you a written guarantee that means something.
Why Homeowners Choose Tilehurst Roofing Houston
Most of the people who call us for flashing repair have already tried another contractor once. Sometimes twice. The story is usually the same: someone came out, charged a deposit, did a partial job, and the leak came back in two months. Then the phone just rings. We started Tilehurst Roofing Houston under the Kingswell family of companies specifically because that pattern is so common, and we built every process to be the opposite of that experience.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if your flashing repair fails inside a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. Free second visit if the repair fails, every time, no negotiation. We put that guarantee in writing before the crew leaves your driveway. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians show up in the window we gave you, do the work to specification, and clean up after themselves. And when you call, a live person answers. Every time. At 2:00 pm on a Tuesday or 2:00 am during a storm.
