Membrane Repair and Reinstallation: Full Process Overview

When dealing with fascia board replacement, membrane and flashing reinstallation are critical steps to ensure long-term protection against water leaks and structural damage. Below is a detailed explanation of the process involved in membrane repair and reinstallation, highlighting the steps necessary to restore the integrity of your roofline.

Step-by-Step Process
1. Initial Inspection
• Begin by thoroughly inspecting the membrane and surrounding areas for signs of leaks, damage, or improper installation.
• Identify water leak points or damaged sections that may require immediate repair.
2. Flashing Removal
• Carefully remove the existing flashing attached to the fascia board and membrane without causing damage to the materials.
• This step allows access to the membrane for proper adjustment and repair.
3. Membrane Detachment and Preparation
• Detach the membrane from the fascia board as part of the replacement process.
• Clean and prepare the underlying structure, ensuring no debris or contaminants remain that could compromise the reinstallation.
4. Fascia Board Replacement
• Install new, properly primed fascia boards that are resistant to moisture and decay.
• Ensure precise alignment and secure fastening of the fascia boards to create a solid foundation for the membrane and flashing.
5. Leak Repairs on Membrane
• Address all identified leak points in the membrane, sealing each one with high-quality waterproof patches or sealants.
• Reinforce corners and seams to prevent future water ingress, as these areas are most vulnerable to leaks.
6. Membrane Reinstallation
• Reattach the membrane securely to the new fascia board, ensuring it is properly aligned and stretched to avoid wrinkles or gaps.
• Seal all edges with specialized adhesives and waterproofing materials for a watertight barrier.
7. Flashing Reinstallation
• Carefully reinstall the flashing over the membrane and fascia board.
• Ensure the flashing overlaps correctly to direct water away from the structure, providing optimal drainage and protection.
8. Final Inspection
• Conduct a thorough inspection of the entire installation, checking for proper alignment, sealing, and functionality.
• Test the repaired and reinstalled membrane for any remaining leaks to ensure a watertight finish.

Materials We Use
1. High-Quality Membranes:
• Durable, weather-resistant membranes designed to withstand harsh conditions.
2. Waterproof Sealants:
• Specialized sealants to repair leaks and seal edges, ensuring a long-lasting barrier against water.
3. Custom Flashing:
• High-grade flashing materials that are resistant to rust and corrosion, offering superior protection.

Why Is This Important?
• Proper membrane and flashing reinstallation are essential to prevent water infiltration, which is the leading cause of fascia board decay and structural damage.
• Addressing all potential leak points during the process ensures that the system remains watertight, protecting your home from costly future repairs.

Pricing Overview
• Reinstallation of Membrane and Flashing: $4.00–8.00 per square foot.
• Leak Repairs on Membrane: Starting at $50 per leak point.
