If you are having roof repair done, your contractor will probably recommend that you have flashing installed. You might be curious as to if this is really necessary or if it is something that you can do without. In fact, this is a very important component of any roof and you should definitely authorize the roofer to install it for you. There are many reasons why this is so.
Prevents Damage From Water
Probably the biggest benefit of them is that they cover the numerous hidden cracks that are so small not even regular inspections can find them. By covering them with fabricated metal, you can prevent water from leaking into these cracks and doing tremendous damage.
All-Around Protection
There is also the matter of protecting the roof from other forms of external damage, such as impact from hail during storms. Since they are made from fabricated metal, they are very sturdy and can hold up to much force. In fact, they often outlive the roofs that they were installed to protect and can be reused when it is time to install a new roof.
Low Maintenance
As far as maintenance for roof flashings is concerned, there isn’t really anything that you have to do. They also do such a good job of protecting the roof from external damage that you will save on actual roof maintenance costs as well.
