Leadwork
Lead flashing, valleys, and flat roofing. Traditional lead roofing craftsmanship.
Lead has been used in roofing for centuries and remains one of the best materials for flashings, valleys, and small flat areas. LJ Roofing provides skilled leadwork services using traditional techniques.
We install and repair lead flashings around chimneys and walls, lead valleys, dormer flashings, and bay window tops. Properly installed leadwork provides a watertight seal that can last for decades.
If your lead is lifting, cracked, or showing signs of age, we can replace it with new Code 4 or Code 5 lead to ensure long-lasting weatherproofing.
