Our client had called us because their bathroom floods every time there is a heavy downpour. After a quick inspection, we determined that the flashing on their roof jack was deteriorating and required necessary inspection. We were able to source the replacement roof jack and flashing the very same day and made the necessary repair. In addition to the roof jack and flashing repair, we also had to cut out and replace the dry-wall in the bathroom ceiling as it was wet and damaged. After replacing the damaged drywall we textured and paint matched the repair.

Roof Jack + Flashings can be purchased for anywhere from $8-25 a piece. They are a simple but very important piece of your roof structure and functionality. An early repair of this piece would have saved our clients hundreds of dollars in necessary repairs.
