Roof Repair in Chester, MD: Step Flashing Replacement Around Dormers

At Monarch Roofing, we recently completed a roof repair in Chester, MD, focused on replacing damaged step flashing around leaking dormers. This type of issue is common in older roofs or in areas where flashing was improperly installed or has deteriorated over time.

The homeowner contacted us after noticing leaks around their dormer windows. Our team performed a thorough inspection and determined that the existing step flashing had failed, allowing water to penetrate the roof system. To resolve the issue and protect the home, we carefully removed the old flashing and installed new, weather-sealed step flashing to restore a watertight barrier.

Why Step Flashing Matters
Step flashing is critical for preventing leaks where the roof meets vertical walls, like dormers or chimneys. When flashing is missing, damaged, or poorly installed, it can lead to interior water damage, wood rot, and costly repairs.

✅ Directs water away from seams and joints
