Roof Leak Repair
Many leaks blamed on the roof field actually start where the roof meets a wall, a chimney, or the eave. HomePRO specializes in these transition points — the flashing and roof-edge details that channel water off the roof and away from the stucco. We repair the leak-related roof edge and flashing; for a failed roof covering or a full re-roof, we will tell you honestly and refer you to a licensed roofer.
What is roof leak repair?
Roof leak repair, as HomePRO performs it, focuses on the roof-edge and roof-to-wall details that most often let water into a stucco home — step flashing, kickout flashing, headwall and sidewall flashing, and fascia — correcting the failed detail so water is directed away from the wall assembly rather than into it.
1 / 6
Warning signs to watch for
- Water stains on the ceiling or wall directly below a roofline
- Staining or dry rot on fascia boards and eaves
- Leaks that appear where a roof meets a second-story wall
- Missing or improperly installed kickout flashing above a gutter
- Interior stains that only appear during or after heavy rain
- Rusted, lifted, or separated flashing at walls and chimneys
Common causes we find
- Missing kickout flashing where a roof edge meets a stucco wall
- Failed or improperly lapped step and headwall flashing
- Deteriorated sealant at chimney, skylight, and vent penetrations
- Fascia and eave rot that lets water track back to the wall
- Previous repairs that sealed over — rather than corrected — the flashing
How we do it right
- 1
Trace the true entry point
We investigate the roof edge, flashing, and roof-to-wall details to find where water actually enters — often several feet from the interior stain.
- 2
Clear findings & estimate
We explain what is failing, whether it is within our scope, and give you an honest written estimate before any work begins.
- 3
Correct the flashing detail
We rebuild the failed flashing, kickout, or roof-edge detail and integrate it correctly with the wall’s drainage plane so water is directed away from the assembly.
- 4
Repair the damage & finish
We replace any rotted fascia or framing, rebuild stucco or trim with matching texture, and verify the repaired area sheds water.

Roof Leak Repair questions, answered
Do you replace roofs?
No. HomePRO focuses on leak-related roof-edge and flashing repairs, especially where the roof meets a wall. If your roof covering has failed or needs full replacement, we will tell you honestly and recommend a licensed roofing contractor.
Why does my roof leak show up on a wall, not the ceiling?
When a roof meets a wall without proper kickout or step flashing, water runs down the roof edge and behind the stucco instead of into the gutter. The damage then appears on the wall or below a window — not directly under the roof.
What is kickout flashing and why does it matter?
Kickout flashing is a small diverter installed where a roof edge terminates above a wall. It kicks roof runoff out into the gutter instead of letting it sheet down behind the stucco. A missing kickout is one of the most common hidden causes of wall leaks and dry rot we find.
