Custom Flashing Installation – Protect Your Roof and Home from Water Damage
What Is Custom Flashing?
Custom flashing consists of thin pieces of metal or other material installed at various joints and intersections of your roof to prevent water from seeping into your home. Flashing is generally installed around chimneys, skylights, vents, and other protrusions through your roof, as well as along valleys where sections of your roof meet. Custom flashing is manufactured to fit the unique dimensions and angles of your roof so that every vulnerable area is correctly protected from moisture intrusion.
Why Is Flashing Important to Your Roof?
Flashing is an important feature in preserving your roof from water passage into your roof structure. Failure to flash it in the form of rainwater or snowmelt allows water to penetrate your home, creating leaks, rot, mold growth, and structural damage. Even slight watering over time will weaken your roof and hence lessen the general safety of the entire house. Custom flashing ensures every corner and joint in your roof is sealed and protected for long-term waterproofing.
What Type of Custom Flashing Does Sherak Ltd Offer?
Sherak Ltd offers several types of custom flashing options, made to fit the exact design of your roof:
- Chimney Flashing: Installed around chimneys to stop water from seeping into your home.
- Valley flashing: Set on the valleys where two slopes of the roof meet to drain the water away from the roof.
- Step flashing: Used when the roof intersects vertical walls; this is usually applied around dormers or sidewalls.
- Drip edge flashing: Put at the roof’s edges to prevent the running water from destroying the fascia or siding.
- Seal the flashing around roof vents and skylights to prevent leakage. We install custom flashing with superior materials, including aluminum and galvanized steel, so that the installation is durable and lasts long.
How Much Does Custom Flashing Installation Cost?
The price for custom flashing installation is based on the size of your roof, the materials used, and the complexity of the project. Homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $500 up to $2,000 for installation, though larger or more complex roofs may be more expensive due to more material and labor requirements.

What Are the Benefits of Installing Custom Flashing?
The benefits of installing custom flashing are many:

- Improves structural integrity: By stopping moisture from seeping into your home, custom flashing can help maintain the strength and stability of both your roof and walls.

How Does Custom Flashing Protect Your Home from Water Damage?
Flashing serves as a waterproof intermediary between your roof and any spots through which water can seep, such as joints, intersections, or roof penetrations. When water runs down your roof during heavy rain or snowmelt, it can collect in various cracks, gaps, or seams that are not adequately flashed. Custom flashing is fabricated to fit the structure of your roof and create one seamless shield in directing water safely away from these weak spots into the gutters. This prevents leaks, mold growth, and damage to your home’s structure.
