Flashing Repair Whittier CA is the fastest way to stop water sneaking past chimneys, skylights, vents and valleys. We are Whittier Roof Leak Repair, a local crew serving homeowners across Los Angeles County. If you have a ceiling stain, a damp attic or a drip that shows up after every storm, the flashing is usually the culprit. We find it, fix it and water-test it before we leave.
Flashing Repair Whittier CA is the work of resealing, re-securing or replacing the metal and membrane pieces that keep water out of the joints on your roof. That means the L-shaped metal at your chimney, the pipe boot around a plumbing vent, the step flashing where a wall meets shingles, and the pan under a skylight. When any of those pieces rust, lift, crack or lose their sealant, water travels sideways under the shingles and shows up far from the actual hole.
Whittier sits in a dry-summer, wet-winter pattern, so flashing takes a beating. Summer heat bakes the sealant and expands the metal, then the first big rain of the season finds every gap. We see it most in older homes around Uptown Whittier and near the tree-lined streets of Michigan Park, where shade keeps roofs damp longer. If you have been searching for roof flashing repair near me, we handle it same-day in most cases.
Every flashing repair starts with a real inspection and ends with a water test. What is included depends on what failed, but here is what you can expect on a typical Whittier job. We tell you upfront if something is outside the repair scope, like full roof replacement or interior drywall work.
We inspect from both sides, using a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera to trace the leak back to its source. On steep or tile roofs we may use a drone first. You get a clear explanation of what failed and why.
Failed flashing comes out, the surface gets cleaned and prepped, and new metal or membrane goes in with the correct fasteners and sealant. We match materials to your existing roof so the repair blends in and performs.
Cracked pipe boots and dried sealant are replaced with new components from brands like Henry, Tremco and Sika. We size the boot to your pipe and seal every edge so water cannot work its way back under the shingles.
Before we pack up, we run water over the repair and check inside. You get photos of the finished work and a written summary of what was done, which is handy for insurance or if you sell the home.
Old flashing, sealant tubes and any debris come off your roof and out of your yard. We leave the work area the way we found it, minus the leak. No nails in the driveway, no mess for you to deal with.
You call (562) 443-3829 and describe what you are seeing: a stain, a drip, a damp spot near the chimney. We ask a few questions to narrow it down and give you a realistic arrival window. Most Whittier calls get a same-day or next-morning visit.
We walk the roof and check the attic side too, because water travels. A moisture meter and infrared thermal camera help us trace the path back to the actual entry point. On steep or tile roofs we may send a drone up first so we are not guessing from the ground.
You get a clear explanation of what failed and a flat price to fix it. If we find a second issue, like a cracked pipe boot next to the chimney flashing, we show you and price it separately so you can decide. No surprise add-ons after the work starts.
We remove the failed flashing, clean the surface, and install new metal or membrane with the right sealant and fasteners. Depending on the roof, that can mean a new pipe boot, step flashing, counterflashing or a full skylight pan. Most repairs are done in one visit.
We run water over the repair area and watch it from inside. If it stays dry, we button up, haul away the old material and leave your yard clean. You get photos of the finished work and a warranty on the repair.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Reads moisture levels in drywall, framing and insulation so we can confirm where water is actually present, not just where the stain shows.
Shows temperature differences caused by hidden moisture, which helps us trace a leak back to its source through walls and ceilings.
Lets us inspect steep, tall or tile roofs safely before anyone climbs, so we can plan the repair and spot flashing failures from above.
Used to shape new metal flashing on site and carefully lift existing shingles or tiles without breaking them during the repair.
Applies sealant precisely at flashing joints, then lets us run controlled water over the repair to prove it holds before we leave.
Safe access for our crew on every roof, paired with OSHA-compliant fall protection so the job gets done without anyone getting hurt.
A 1940s home near Uptown Whittier had leaked around the chimney for three winters. The attic insulation was damp, the ceiling near the fireplace was stained, and the old flashing was rusted through with failed sealant at every joint.
We removed the old flashing and counterflashing, installed new metal with proper overlap, and sealed it to the masonry. A water test showed no leaks. The homeowner repaired the ceiling two weeks later with no recurrence through the rest of the season.
A rental in East Whittier had a spreading ceiling stain in a hallway. The tenant had reported it twice, but no one could find the source. The pipe boot on the vent above the hallway was cracked and brittle from years of sun.
We replaced the pipe boot with a new one sized to the pipe, sealed it, and water-tested the area. The stain stopped growing immediately. Total repair time was under two hours, and the landlord avoided replacing the drywall twice.
A home in Friendly Hills had a skylight that dripped after every storm. Two previous roofers had sealed around the frame, but the leak returned. The curb flashing and pan had failed underneath, and water was running around the frame, not through it.
We rebuilt the skylight curb flashing and pan, replaced the failed sealant, and confirmed the glass and frame were sound. The skylight stayed dry through the next two storms. The repair cost a fraction of replacing the skylight.
Most roof leaks we get called for in Whittier trace back to one of these flashing failures. If you recognize your situation, call us before the next storm makes it worse.
Ask a pro →We trace the stain back to the failed flashing, which is often a pipe boot or chimney detail several feet away. We repair the source, water-test it, and confirm the area stays dry. Most jobs are done in one visit.
We remove the old flashing and counterflashing, install new metal with proper overlap and sealant, and test it with a hose. If the masonry itself needs attention, we tell you and recommend the right trade.
We rebuild the skylight pan and curb flashing, replace any failed sealant, and confirm the glass and frame are sound. If the skylight itself is cracked, we will tell you honestly rather than seal over a bad unit.
We replace the pipe boot with a new one sized to your pipe, seal it correctly, and water-test it. This is a quick repair, usually under two hours, and it stops the leak at the source.
$250 - $850 for most residential flashing repairs
Typical 2026 pricing for flashing repair in Whittier runs $250 to $850 for most residential jobs, depending on the type of flashing, roof access and how much material needs to be replaced. A single pipe boot is at the low end. A full chimney reflash with new counterflashing is at the high end. Emergency calls after hours add a trip charge. We give you a flat price before we start, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
A $400 flashing repair that stops a leak is far cheaper than the drywall, insulation and mold work that follows a leak you ignore. We fix the cause, water-test it, and warranty the work, so you are not paying twice.
A pipe boot replacement is quick and inexpensive. Chimney, skylight and valley flashing take more material and labor, so they cost more. We price each based on what actually failed.
A steep roof or a two-story home takes longer and requires more safety setup. Tile roofs also take extra time because we lift and reset tiles carefully to avoid breakage.
If the leak has damaged underlayment, decking or insulation, that adds to the repair. We show you what we find and price the extra work separately so you can decide.
Active leaks and after-hours calls get priority scheduling and carry a trip charge. If you can wait for a regular appointment, you avoid that fee and often get a better rate.
“We had a stain on the ceiling for months and two other companies told us we needed a whole new roof. These guys found a failed pipe boot and a bad piece of step flashing in about twenty minutes. Fixed it the same day for a few hundred dollars. It has rained twice since and the ceiling is bone dry.”
Marisol R.Homeowner, Uptown Whittier
✓ Verified“Our chimney leaked every winter and I was tired of putting buckets in the attic. They reflashed the whole chimney, replaced the counterflashing, and water-tested it while I watched. Clean work, fair price, and they cleaned up every scrap of old metal. Should have called them years ago.”
Dale K.Homeowner, Friendly Hills
✓ Verified“I manage several rentals and water stains are my nightmare. They traced a leak back to a skylight flashing detail that two other roofers missed, fixed it, and sent me photos of the finished work. I have used them three times since for different properties. Reliable and straight with pricing.”
Priya N.Property Manager, East Whittier
✓ VerifiedMost flashing repairs in Whittier run $250 to $850, with a single pipe boot or small step flashing repair at the low end and a full chimney reflash at the high end. Emergency or after-hours calls add a trip charge. We give you a flat price before any work starts, so you are not guessing.
Heat and age are the two big ones. Summer sun expands and contracts the metal, which loosens fasteners and cracks the sealant. Add wind-driven rain and years of UV exposure, and the flashing at your chimney, skylight or vents eventually lets water in. Tree shade around neighborhoods like Michigan Park keeps roofs damp longer, which speeds up rust.
Yes, in most cases. Flashing failure is the number one cause of roof leaks we find in Whittier, and repairing it properly stops the leak at the source. If the leak has already damaged underlayment, decking or insulation, we will show you that too and price the extra work separately. We water-test every repair before we leave.

Chimney Leak RepairChimney leaks are almost always flashing or counterflashing failures. We remove the old metal, install new flashing with proper overlap, and seal it against the masonry. That stops the water that shows up on your ceiling near the chimney.Explore →
Valley Leak RepairValleys collect water from two roof planes, so a small flashing or underlayment failure there leaks fast. We clear debris, repair the valley metal or membrane, and confirm the water runs where it should. Common on Whittier homes with complex rooflines.Explore →
Vent and Pipe Boot Leak RepairThe rubber collar on a pipe boot cracks after years of sun. We replace the boot with a new one sized to your pipe, seal it correctly, and water-test it. This is one of the most common and most affordable flashing repairs we do.Explore →
Flat Roof RepairFlat and low-slope roofs leak at seams, drains and penetrations, which are all flashing points. We repair the flashing and coating together so ponding water cannot find a way in. Common on garages and additions around Whittier.Explore →
Tile Roof RepairTile roofs rely on underlayment and flashing, not the tile itself, to stay dry. We lift tiles carefully, repair the flashing and underlayment beneath, then reset the tile. Broken tiles and failed underlayment are frequent in older Whittier homes.Explore →
