Flashing is the thin metal or synthetic barrier that covers the joints where your roof meets a wall, chimney, skylight, or valley. In Fort Lauderdale, failed flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks we see, and the telltale sign is usually a water stain on the ceiling that appears within a few days of heavy summer rain. Homeowners often assume the shingles failed. More often than not, the flashing gave out first.

Key takeaways:

• Installed IKO flashing replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $275 – $650, with most jobs finished same day.
• Salt air and summer downpours age flashing faster here than the national average, regardless of shingle brand.
• Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale is an independent service provider. We are not affiliated with IKO, but we work with IKO products and compatible flashing every week.
• Every flashing replacement carries our written guarantee and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Which IKO Models This Applies To

IKO manufactures a broad line of asphalt shingles, and the flashing requirements vary somewhat by product line. The most common IKO shingles we see on Fort Lauderdale roofs are from the Cambridge, Dynasty, and Marathon series. The good news: flashing compatibility is driven primarily by roof geometry and local code, not by a specific IKO shingle model. That means if your roof carries Cambridge shingles, we’re not locked into a single IKO-only flashing part. We can match the correct step flashing, counter flashing, or valley flashing in galvanized steel, aluminum, or a quality aftermarket equivalent that meets or exceeds the original spec.

What matters more than the IKO series name is the flashing gauge and material. Most IKO installations in Broward County use 26-gauge galvanized steel step flashing or aluminum flashing, depending on the roof and the surrounding materials. If your flashing is original to the home and the roof is ten or more years old, we typically recommend replacing the flashing any time we’re in that section of the roof, even if the shingles still look serviceable. In Fort Lauderdale, that salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on exposed metal flashing far faster than it does on the shingles themselves.

If you’re not sure what IKO product is on your roof, grab a photo of the shingle edge or a leftover bundle wrapper from the garage. Greg Holloway and our crew can identify it quickly, and we’ll confirm the right flashing match when we walk the roof.

Signs Your IKO Flashing Replacement Is Failing

• Water stains on ceilings or upper walls after heavy rain. This is the one we hear most often in Fort Lauderdale. The leak path is usually flashing that has lifted, separated, or corroded at a wall joint or valley, letting water run behind the shingles and into the decking.
• Visible rust or pitting on exposed flashing. Salt air in coastal Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods eats unprotected flashing faster than most homeowners expect. If you can see rust streaks or flaking metal from the ground, the flashing is already degrading and will eventually open a gap.
• Flashing that has lifted or separated from the wall or chimney. Wind-driven rain from summer storms works flashing loose over time, especially at chimney bases and sidewall intersections. If you can see daylight or a gap, water can get in.
• Granule loss concentrated near roof penetrations. If you notice excessive granules in the gutter directly below a pipe boot, vent, or chimney, it often means water has been running along that flashing line and scrubbing the shingles prematurely.
• Interior musty smell or peeling paint near rooflines. A slow flashing leak may never produce a visible drip. It shows up as persistent moisture, peeling paint, or a mild odor in the upper corners of rooms, which in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity can also encourage mold.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For most IKO flashing replacements in Fort Lauderdale, installed pricing runs from $275 to $650. Here’s what typically drives the number:

• Location of the flashing: A simple pipe boot or vent flashing is on the lower end. Chimney or sidewall flashing with counter flashing is higher because it involves more material and more time.
• Condition of surrounding material: If the shingles around the flashing are brittle or the underlayment below is saturated, the repair expands. We’ll quote that before we start, not after.
• Material choice: Aluminum and galvanized steel are the most common. If a homeowner wants a heavier-gauge or powder-coated flashing stock, the material cost moves a bit.

Every estimate includes removal of the old flashing, the new flashing material, any necessary sealant rated for South Florida exposure, re-securing the surrounding shingles, and a written guarantee on the repair before the crew leaves. You get a written line-item price before any work starts, in keeping with The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and put the guarantee in writing.

DIY or Call Us?

There are things a homeowner can safely check on an IKO roof: take photos of visible flashing from the ground, clear debris from valleys, and watch for interior stains after heavy rain. But replacing flashing on an active Fort Lauderdale roof means working at height on a slope, lifting shingles that may be brittle, and getting the sealant and overlap details right so water can’t reroute itself into the decking. A wrong lap or a poor seal on step flashing can turn a small repair into a ceiling replacement.

Roof-height work carries real risk of falls, and hot South Florida shingles soften in the afternoon sun, making footing less predictable. We’d rather see you spend ten minutes on the phone with us than ten seconds on an extension ladder. If you suspect failing IKO flashing, call (754) 732-9325. We tell you the price before we touch your roof. That’s just how it should work.
