Gable Fascia Flashing

[@mc42d0]

The world needs more roofing professionals like this gentleman! Thanks for the video.

[@ScottWConvid19]

Brian, that is so cool that you do quick, temporary repairs for people, whether or not they have you do the full repairs or replacements. That's why you succeed. 👍🏼

[@jeffbrosky4696]

I love doing those repairs I don't do whole roofs anymore just go out for the little repairs like these these are my money makers

[@RR_184]

Same. I get my crews kicked off on full jobs in the morning, then I go and do repairs.

[@weeyums]

Same here! Do you guys have specific pricing for respective repairs, or have you done it long enough that you just come up with a (fair) price? I never price gauge, but you can almost name a price seeing no one either wants to do repairs, or doesn't know how.

[@bg147]

Is this a big repair if you have to replace the decking and correct the other part of the roof that is all gunked up?

[@rottdogsparky]

All I keep thinking to myself is a cordless oscillating tool might work wonders in this situation great video keep up the good work

[@paulm2848]

A person using tools other then the matter its designed to do we call them primitive petes. Wish there were more honest people like you out there. Keep up the good work

[@MaMa-qh4dy]

Great job Brian! So kind of you to bail-out the homeowner at no charge. Doing "good" like that always comes back to reward the doer.

[@bporter1220]

I'm not even into roofing but I enjoy watching just genuine people! Keep up the great work

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Thank you!

[@markmcneil7040]

Bleh yeah I see this alot. I repaired a leak on a 4 storey apartment building this year where the original roof installer did the same thing on a dormer. It leaked from the day it was installed, for 15 years. By this point a fair bit of water was getting in to the unit below. All the OSB was totally rotten underneath. It was also in a bad, tight spot so no one could really help me remove and re-install the old plywood, right on the edge of a 4 storey building. It was a tough repair. I like your quick fix with the flashing, I did basically the same thing on the apartments to get them through until the cost of the full repair was approved. It took about 6 months before that happened, during which time no water leaked in to the building, so this is definitely a viable solution if you need a quick way to stop the leak and want to worry about repairing the water damage to the structure later on down the road. If you're like me and you live in an area where it snows, freezes and thaws alot in the winter then just beware that some of the melting snow and ice in the winter time can definitely get behind that flashing, so just be careful about leaving it like that for too long depending on the situation. Thanks for the videos I always enjoy them!

[@jeffreydurrance5400]

putting a roof on my home now..thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@pennyuyitung4854]

BN - are you not worried about accidentally slicing your fingers while pushing that flashing under? Gives me the heebee jeebeez. Good vid - stay safe

[@bigtime37ja]

Excellent work sir. Never hurts to do a good turn.

[@saintmichael1874]

Well said and Well done.

[@murphworks]

It’d be great to see more details on this repair. Like how you flash around that rafter (about to do that on a shed of mine)

[@matthewmoroney4945]

I’m a roofer I loved watching actually good work

[@abtsamroobe9633]

Great job. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us

[@6string327]

nice little repair Brian, hope you get well soon.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Thanks, this video was shot almost two weeks ago. Feeling quite a bit better, really never got sick just lost my voice.

[@jeffmallery4931]

Super bar was all I need to see to know your a real roofer,

[@bobcougar77]

I'd like to see the full repair video if you got the job.

[@AllThatRoofing]

This was the issue of the 1st leak repair I ever did

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Thank you! Looking forward to watching and learning!

[@andrewjames1613]

Buffalo tool 😂😂😂 I like that one. Whoever did that job is a butcher holy shit...

[@johndunlavey8927]

So my butter knife that I grab for a screw driver is a buffalo tool. Love it. Been doing that since 10 yrs old.

[@lwentz5510]

Gotta remember "buffalo tool". I'm famous for that kind of thing. Kudos - I now learned how to fix such a mess as that.

[@DavidSanchez-ot3it]

Good job man , god bless milando

[@jrg2068]

Good video, good information

[@linwoodwebb4259]

Can you show the full repair

[@jobiwan95]

Hey, I have the same situation going on. I have a gable end just like that the valley is about 30” across with NO cricket. I can imagine the best solution is to add in a cricket with PROPER flashing?

[@8632tony]

Is galvanic corrosion ever an issue when nailing aluminum flashing with a galvanized nail? How about with a stainless steel nail? Are aluminum nails available to obviate the issue (if it even IS an issue?)

[@tinamcwilliams7029]

A good carpenter will should leave apace there

[@joychristian728]

I learn something new in all of your videos. Buffalo 🐃 tool

[@davidb1640]

See this all the time!! Welcome to the neighborhood...

[@tinamcwilliams7029]

You definitely been roofing a long time

[@troyl4107]

I think the repair would be a good video, if you get the job. Good luck.

[@bg147]

What a debacle. The only thing I would say is the homeowner should have had you or another reputable firm out to correct this a long time ago, Perhaps, it got away from them when they thought it had been remedied. What an absolute mess and it would have been easier to do it right the first time versus coming out multiple teams to caulk it.

[@chazschuck6474]

It was under the other contractors warranty, and so they probably didn't want to pay another contractor.

[@ScottieBMan]

I have same intersection, I left it a valley…is that a mistake? Should I make a cricket?

[@markmcneil7040]

No I'm pretty sure the contractor that put the cricket in did so thinking it would somehow fix the leak, but as you can see, it did not. Either way can be done and shingled properly so it will never leak. In my area, we would call that a "dead valley", in other words, a valley with no slope to it. (I mean what that spot would look like without the cricket). I have seen them done with torch on roofing, steel valley metal and even lead flashing on tile roofs. Personally I think the torch on is the best since everything gets sealed up really nice but metal works fine too, depending on the situation.

[@ScottieBMan]

@@markmcneil7040 I did metal, don’t know how to do fancy stuff. Hopefully holds up ok. Shingled everything leading up to it, then flashed both sides onto top of shingles. Thanks for heads up

[@sebasmixmix9859]

Valley is done wrong , no step flashing and that pocket is retaining water because the unnecessary metal pan

[@oscarguevara5089]

Do u even end up getting these jobs after??

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Yes, some repair some replacement.

[@tinamcwilliams7029]

There so many ways that contractor could have done better lol

[@tinamcwilliams7029]

New roof and has rot tbat just a real bad job .that even a extra they could have made by fixing the wood

[@mikethompson7436]

😂 so the flash card didn't go high enough to cover the area it leaks than you caulked the entire bottom of the card so the leaking water going under the card can't escape and the water definitely doesn't follow the dripedge down under all those cobbled repairs

[@eastside0434]

Everything is built so cheap with crappy materials,I also dont like how the shingles are cut flush with the rake edge and possibly water gets down under edges of rake and end of valley metal.

[@caseyjohnston8843]

If you don’t get the job after the freebie that’s bs

[@GrandRoofingInc]

LOL I probably won't get it because it'll probably stop it. if that's the case at least I got to get a little video out of it.

[@ScottWConvid19]

[@chrismallory3718]

Eventually it'll need replaced and they'll remember you and possibly refer you

[@jasonthomas2714]

I wouldn't be doing shit for free bro, f that.

[@billballard3608]

Always, Always charge for repairs, the knowledge required to make this repair is way more valuable than the materials! You can discount your repair off the bid if you want, but I wouldn't...

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Thank you, You are right! I do do quite a bit for free because I feel it goes a long way in gaining someone's trust. I'm not going to do a lot that cost a lot in material or time for free though. I did get the job though.

[@chazschuck6474]

Yea I agree. I'm an electrical contractor, and I've learned never to do anything for free. At the end of the day I spend money every day in overhead. Can't be giving my time or material away.

You're drunk dude

[@franciscogarcia9030]

WHY YOU MOVE THE CAMARA SO MUCH? IT'S BOTHERSOME.

[@KpxUrz5745]

Everyone says great job, but I beg to differ. Yes we know you said its a "freebie" temporary repair, but still it is a sloppy repair done too fast and without actual tools. I seriously doubt this will stop the leak. Any time there are abnormal and overly complicated roof structures, (as in my own house, unfortunately), leaks can develop here there and everywhere, not just in one little corner "fixed" with a 5 inch piece of flashing. If you really do good roof work, I would suggest remaking the video when you are prepared to do a full and proper repair.

[@purgatorysrath4455]

Obviously you have no idea what the hell you're even talking about with your ignorant statements! I seriously doubt this will stop the leak! That is absolutely how you stop the leak. That 5 inch piece of metal is identical to the flashing you buy specifically made for roofs! It's bent at 90degrees and there are different sizes! People like you, that think they know everything because they seriously doubt the process, "works" are out of touch with reality! Go do your job and leave the critical thinking and work for people that are construction workers.

[@KpxUrz5745]

@@purgatorysrath4455 Look, pal. I've seen countless so-called "professional" roofers do their work over the years ---- and each and every time their stupidities and shortcuts soon come back to cause even more problems. I tried for more than a year just to HIRE a roofer to fix a leak created by the last company who installed my roof --- and every single so-called "pro" roofer turned down the job. Nobody would even take the job on, at ANY price! The roofing business has a way of employing plenty of addicts and incompetents, and even the well-meaning roofers are almost always incapable of putting in the work to do a job properly. I could go on for hours giving examples, like a new roof we hired where the roofer right away voided the warranty on the shingles by stupidly installing them using "vertical racking". I know ALL about roofing, pal, and I apparently know WAY more than the roofers do. In fact, you have to know more than they do in order to know all the things they are doing wrong. I understand that no contractor likes to be told how to do their job --- but most of them are pretty incompetent and just want to take the homeowner's money, leaving them with all the problems that show up later. There is only one roof that I have ever had done that was done absolutely properly and correctly --- and that was the roof I built all by myself! It is not easy to not have a helper when installing a new roof, but I did it. Please don't bother replying, because I've had quite enough of your ignorance.

[@chazschuck6474]

The point of this is to show how to make a temporary fix quickly and easily to prepare for upcoming storms, and allow time for approval of an actual repair proposal. He never suggested this is a good long term fix. He's also made it clear to the client this is not a formal repair, but a stop gap.

[@davemeeks8109]

Your quick repair was certainly was not much better. What's with constantly running others down. Its been common knowledge in America that roofers have very little skills and seldom speak English.
