Questions

Everything you need to know about our lead work and flashing services

How long does lead last?

Lead flashing typically lasts fifty years or more when properly installed. Our craftsmen follow traditional methods that ensure your lead work performs for decades without requiring replacement. Weather and maintenance play their part, but quality installation is what matters most.

What makes flashing essential?

Flashing creates a barrier where your roof meets chimneys, valleys, and walls. Without it, water seeps into gaps and causes damage that spreads through your property. Proper flashing is the difference between a dry roof and costly repairs down the line.

Can you repair existing lead work?

Yes. We assess your current lead work and repair or replace sections as needed. Sometimes patching is enough; sometimes a full replacement serves you better. We'll tell you what your roof actually needs, not what we want to sell you.

What about maintenance?

Lead requires minimal maintenance once installed properly. Occasional inspection keeps everything performing as it should. We can advise on what your specific roof needs to stay protected year after year.
