IKO Flashing Replacement Nationwide

IKO Flashing Replacement: The Fort Lauderdale Owner’s Guide

IKO flashing replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically costs between $320 and $680 installed, depending on whether we’re replacing a single pipe boot or a full chimney and valley flashing set. We stock IKO-compatible flashing on our trucks and can usually complete the swap the same day we diagnose it. Most homeowners discover failed flashing after a rainstorm, when a ceiling stain or drip near a chimney, skylight, or wall intersection shows up out of nowhere. The flashing itself is the metal that seals those joints, and in South Florida, it takes a beating from salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and relentless UV exposure.

If you’re seeing water where it doesn’t belong, the fix is rarely the shingles. It’s almost always the flashing, and it’s a repair we handle constantly across Fort Lauderdale, from Victoria Park to Coral Ridge.

Which IKO Models This Applies To

IKO flashing isn’t shingle-specific, which is good news if you’re worried about matching a discontinued line. The flashing works with IKO’s Cambridge, Dynasty, Nordic, and Royal Estate shingle lines, as well as the Marathon and Armourshake series. What actually matters is the flashing type: step flashing for walls, pipe boots for plumbing vents, valley flashing for roof intersections, and apron or counter flashing for chimneys.

The compatibility gotcha most homeowners run into is pipe boot sizing. IKO-compatible boots come in 1-1/2″, 2″, and 3″ diameters, and matching the vent pipe size matters more than the shingle brand. We measure on-site before quoting. For OEM versus aftermarket, IKO-branded flashing is well made, but quality aftermarket equivalents from reliable metal fabricators are functionally identical and often cost 20 to 30 percent less. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what’s on your roof, not what’s in our inventory.

Signs Your IKO Flashing Replacement Is Failing

• Water stains on ceilings or walls near a chimney, vent, or roofline. Flashing separates from the roof deck over time, letting water run behind the shingles and into the house. The stain usually appears within a few feet of the joint, not directly under it.
• Rust or corrosion on exposed metal flashing. Fort Lauderdale’s salt-laden air accelerates oxidation faster than inland Florida. Once the galvanized coating fails, pinholes form and water seeps through.
• Lifted, bent, or missing flashing pieces after a storm. High winds peel step flashing away from wall intersections. Even a small gap lets wind-driven rain get underneath the shingles.
• Granule buildup in gutters directly below flashing points. This signals the shingles around the flashing are deteriorating, which usually means the flashing seal has already failed and water is working its way through the underlayment.
• Visible caulk cracks or gaps around pipe boots and chimney bases. Caulk breaks down fast in Florida heat. Once it’s cracked, water gets in behind the flashing and follows the pipe or chimney down into the attic.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

Here’s what you can expect to pay in Fort Lauderdale for IKO-compatible flashing replacement, installed:

• Single pipe boot replacement: $320 to $420
• Step flashing replacement (one wall run, up to 20 feet): $380 to $550
• Valley flashing replacement (standard 12 to 16 foot valley): $450 to $600
• Chimney flashing set (apron, step, and counter flashing): $520 to $680

The range comes down to roof pitch, single versus two-story access, and how much of the surrounding shingles need to be lifted and re-set. Every quote includes the flashing material, sealant, roof nails, labor, and haul-away of the old metal. You get a written price before any work starts, and the number on that page is the number on the invoice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the repair for a full year, in writing, included with the job. If it fails within 365 days, we return and fix it at no charge.

DIY or Call Us?

There are two things you can safely check yourself before calling. First, look for visible gaps or lifted metal from the ground with binoculars, no ladder required. Second, check your attic during daylight for pinholes of light coming through the roof deck near vents or the chimney. Those are legitimate diagnostics. But actually replacing flashing means lifting existing shingles without cracking them, cutting and bending metal to fit your specific roof geometry, and re-sealing everything so it survives the next tropical downpour. Get it wrong and you’ve created a bigger leak than you started with. In coastal Florida, improper flashing work fails within months, not years.

Our technicians carry IKO-compatible flashing in the common sizes on the truck, so you’re not waiting on a special order. Call (754) 354-8628 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong, what it costs, and when we can fix it.
