Flashing: the small detail that prevents big leaks

By RemodelSD | January 09, 2026 | San Diego

Most roof leaks don’t happen because the field of shingles failed—they happen at transitions:

  • Valleys
  • Chimneys
  • Skylights
  • Roof-to-wall intersections
  • Penetrations (vents, pipes, exhaust)

That’s why flashing quality and installation detail matter so much. A roof is only as strong as its weakest transition.
