Step Flashing

Step flashing consists of multiple overlapping pieces of flashing installed where roofs meet vertical walls. Each layer is integrated with shingles to direct water away from the wall-roof intersection. It is one of the most effective methods for preventing leaks in sloped roofing systems. Proper installation is critical for performance in wet climates.
