Roof Flashing Repair in Metairie, LA

Most Metairie flashing repairs take two to four hours on site once the crew arrives. A single step flashing run or a skylight flashing takes closer to two hours. A full chimney flashing rebuild with new step, apron and counter flashing on all four sides takes closer to half a day.

Estimated ranges. A single wall step flashing repair runs $400 to $700. A chimney counter flashing repair runs $500 to $900. A full chimney flashing rebuild runs $800 to $2,200. Skylight flashing runs $500 to $1,100. Apron flashing at the eave runs $400 to $800. Valley metal replacement runs $700 to $1,500.

No. A single flashing repair on a one or two family home in unincorporated Jefferson Parish replaces far less than the 50 percent of covering that would trigger the residential re roofing permit. Big Easy Roofing pulls the permit only if the repair uncovers a much bigger scope during the work.

Standard step and apron runs use aluminum, which is corrosion resistant and cost effective. Drip edge is aluminum or galvanised steel. Chimney and skylight kits use aluminum or, on request, copper. Copper lasts longer and looks correct on historic Old Metairie homes but costs roughly three to four times as much.

Where the flashing failure is the direct result of a named storm or hail event, most Louisiana homeowners carriers cover the repair. Failures due to age or gradual sealant degradation are usually not covered. Big Easy Roofing prepares a photograph pack with time and geo stamp for the adjuster on the free inspection.

Three tells. A ceiling stain around a chimney chase almost always points to chimney flashing. Blistered paint at the top of an upstairs bedroom wall almost always points to step flashing on the wall above it. A stain around a skylight shaft points to skylight flashing. Big Easy Roofing traces the source before quoting on the free inspection.

Sometimes yes for counter flashing at a chimney and for perimeter flashing at a skylight. But step flashing at a wall almost always requires lifting the adjacent shingle course to reach the individual step tins. That extra shingle work is itemised in the scope so nothing is unclear at pricing time.

A cricket is a small ridge built behind a chimney that is wider than 30 inches, sloped to divert water around the chimney rather than allowing it to pond behind. Most Metairie chimneys wider than 30 inches benefit from a cricket, and Big Easy Roofing includes one in a full chimney flashing rebuild by default where the chimney needs it.

Yes. Big Easy Roofing does flashing repairs across all of Metairie, including Old Metairie, Bucktown, the Lake Vista side, and the neighbourhoods along Veterans and Metairie Road. Copper flashing on historic homes is a common request in Old Metairie and is quoted alongside the aluminum option.

Yes. Commercial flashing on flat and low slope roofs (TPO, modified bitumen, single ply) uses different methods than shingle roof flashing, and the wall and coping flashings on a commercial parapet require a specific membrane approach.
