I like your videos because they are "real". They are not rehearsed and cleaned up to make you look like a star. Thanks for the honesty.

I did my chimney June 2019 , I used mortar so I did not have to chip and cut 3 to 6 inch into the stone added a Cricket cut into the mortar 3/4 for the counter flashing , Did the same bend on the top the lip holds tight that wedge is the only way to go .

[@chrishale8352]

It's a catcher lol, love how we all have different names for these things. Counter flash look verry nice.

Excellent job !

[@grahamennis606]

Next time blow off all the dust hit it with a wire brush and blow off again you will never have another bond issue. Also look into getting slicks or caulking spatulas from albion will keep your fingers cleaner and will prevent any debonding issues. I dont roof alot but i caulk alot of expansion joints on parkades and on high rise buildings with pre cast panels

[@charliehutto]

💯 and filling cut line with clear before inserting/placing metal has never let me down. 😉👊

[@DelBocaVistaProperties]

Very helpful video! I am going to go replicate this process!

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Right on

[@shannontreadway]

I love to see that you put that extra little bend in there to lock it in that stone lot of people don't do that now when you put that metal in that stone you will not be able to pull it back out because that extra little been that you put which I call a counter bend will lock it in tight good job brother

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Thank you

[@calvinsummerall]

Came out lookin great!!!

[@javis9950]

little bit of info for those ever doing this. don't risk that grinder, I'm speaking from experience that thing can cut/burn though a nice pair of fingers before you realized you touched it. just don't do it. it's a silly shortcut.

[@eamonaugustine1262]

Great flashing work. I think they have a spoon the spread caulking . Good work .

[@RabidParana1]

Great timing, I'm about to have to do one like this myself. I had the basic idea but some great tips here. Also I think every roofer should know that you need to spit on your fingers before touching your caulk

[@roofmaster4403]

Actually you should not touch, you will remove some of the chemicals

[@TheBearGrylz]

Nice work. I do em the same way. Thanks for not doing it like a hack and tap conning it brick and then just caulking it. I see so many chimneys done totally wrong

[@TheBearGrylz]

If your relying on caulking then you’re doing it wrong ya know.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

exactly. with that little lip on it to hold caulk lol

Glad you enjoyed it

[@susceptibility_]

When you run empty on bottle of caulk, do not throw away the nozzle, put it on the new bottle, so you save a nozzle amount of caulk with every new bottle. Though it works only for a single session.

[@bryancampbell8571]

Hey i recognize that chimney. I've gotta say this turned out amazing. could not have asked for a better job.

Thanks 👍

[@maxg9999]

The small grinder with the big blade scares me too I’m a mason and do shit like that all the time. The cool part is a diamond blade is more like a burn than a cut I got the scars to prove it lol flashing job looks awesome!! Keep up the good work

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Lmfao that's awesome bro! Keep up the good work as well

[@charliehutto]

One thing I learned, if you use it with the blade up you see your line better and always cut from top down on left side and bottom up on right will keep the blade from binding, and it kicks the dust away from you. "Live Roof Play"... asphalt life 😉👊

[@edgarbaring420]

Good job on that counter flashing. I done my share of those also. Never had to use a grinder like that thou. Looked dangerous. As a roofer for 40 yrs I gave you an A+. If my opinion means anything to you, lol. All I did was repairs like this and worked by myself. Here in tx. Seeing your vid. Makes me want to get back into roofing. Had some good times.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

lol you're not the first to say that. thanks but i'm almost ashamed i make others want to get back into this lmao i make it fun, but it doesn't your people will

[@natecramer983]

Bro that looked hella good

[@lamrof]

I think the gripping fold causes a hassle because once the unit is pushed in the groove of the stone for adjustments it can't be pulled out easily. I have seen a video where installers left that edge straight, made all the measurement and adjustments they need, where after placing the unit in place wedged it with a folded up line of strip of sheet metal at 5 or so places and that was that.

[@cervix-a-lot8254]

very nice man! we come across funky chimneys like this all the time!...you couldn't have done it better! i would have done it the same EXACT way you handled it!...great work! can you do more technical videos like this?

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

yes i plan on it! this channel shouldn't be known as a roofing channel before long. this will go down as one of the greatest exterior remodeling channels of all time

thank you!

[@roofmaster4403]

Tell me about it!! A good caulk gun is vital as well

[@finfish260]

I missed what kind of color sealer you were using on the brick. I use Big Stretch Caulk but I'm not sure how long it will last. I'm a super advocate of anything with GE Silicone seal in it but it is not paintable and they never have the color I need.

Zack, beautiful job my friend. There are a lot of good tips in this video for anyone who doesn't know how to do that. It could really stump a newb. I'd like to see Mr. Dimitri try and do that himself. I'm sure his subs could do it but him? Lol. Anyway man, you really do give out some good knowledge for us to use. I've been in the trade since '01 and I still have learned some stuff. Everyone has there own way and it's great to see other ways of doing things. Peace!

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

awesome brotha thanks

[@akaredcrossbow]

Henry Wet Patch would’ve flashed that chimney perfectly! It would get into all those nooks and crannies. Plus it would last 100 years! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Great job👍🏻👍🏻

[@ethanmcmaster2994]

A speed square and a nice pair of snips will save you from having to get off the roof, hoof it to the break, measure and slice, and get back up. You could get your measurement of 1 3/4, speed square a flat line across the piece and be installing it before you would have hit the bottom of the ladder! You seem really good at scoring with the knife too, and that is even faster than snips - if you trust your hands :P Edit: wrote that out before I knew you were hemming the piece. In this case. you would have had to come down anyways.

[@chrislong5266]

Looks good. Little tip for you quad makes an aerosol foam gun cleaner it's basically acetone it'll clean the caulk off your finger and you can use it to clean out your grinder joint before caulking

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

oh really? i'll look into that. i just dump gas on my hands lol

[@chrislong5266]

That's what I did too for years. Wife got tired of me smelling terrible lol. Love all the videos you've definatly made me a more efficient shingler when I have to get up there

[@charliehutto]

Was that coil stock? 🤔 I like the 2" rigglet into the stone and I've always preferred using a one piece system over the two piece wall and counter. Saves valuable time in the heat plus no chance of wash over on backside. I prefer to use a 26g metal due to our roofers around here suck and will destroy anything thinner. Just curious to cost of labor and materials you getting for a job like that on a standard 6/12 pitch?

[@vernonsmith7280]

I know this is a little late but osi and geocell self level. Keep ya fingers out of it. Also I always use clear. You did I nice job on the counter flashing, no since in making it look bad with caulk that is colored.

[@dustinlewis4708]

Tim is like why you do dis

[@calebdavis1605]

PL30 (Polyurathane Roofing Cement) would have filled in those gaps for you and no need to spend time grinding it down.

[@abrahanflores9469]

Great work,keep it up😎

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Thanks, will do!

[@larrycrookshanks9091]

Keep a thin paint brush to brush out the joint first ,then caulk the joint before you install the metal. Install the metal. Then buy a 3/8" caulk knife at a commercial caulk store and you wont get it on your finger nor rake the crap out of your finger.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

[@XroorX]

Put a huge bead of geocell around the base of that rocky chimney. Flash out laterally 8-12” like you would a valley. Matching those infinite crevices is a lost labor.

[@Toddster81]

Flashing looks nice and professional. I just had my 30 square roof replaced 4 days ago. Contractor never even replaced any flashing around my chimney. Looks hideous, they used old existing flashing and I hate it. Now I'm going to have to hire another contractor to come back and flash it properly. 😠

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Awe dang lol he wouldn't do it or?

[@Toddster81]

The boss didn't stay long, after I paid him he left. The remaining crew didn't speak english. I never imagined they'd re-use the old flashing.

I don’t know if you’ll see this since the video is so old but invest in a $25 Marson Rivet Gun on Amazon. Way easier to drive those rivers in then the one you’re using.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

i'll check it out thanks!

[@kansascityshuffle8526]

So this obviously wasn’t the way it was done in the first place. What was the old method of leak proofing something like this?

[@johnotoole5786]

U should have mucked n taped it then shingle rt on top if concern was watertite as for aesthetics i would just nip n tuck roof bend n clear silicone

[@jjsroofing860]

Looks great but what happens when the shingles get redone in 20 or 25 years. Is that reusable or do they have to start all over .

[@bullfrog1807]

If the guys tearing off the roof are careful it should absolutely be reusable 👍🏽

[@scottdowney4318]

Really nice job on that flashing for the stone chimney, homeowner should be very happy with that.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Thank you

[@Brandon-no3vc]

Is that aluminum or metal? What gauge? How thick of a blade do you need to make that work how you got the lines at every side and every corner matching up at the same height from roof deck?

[@Yoyosforever]

You fellas didn't have a drop cloth to throw down on those shingles?

[@jason-ge5nr]

Here is my question. How did the first roof find waterproofing around the chimney without a groove for counterflashing? That metal is pretty. I appreciate the time you spent. I think in 35 years folk will be instructing cubs to save that metal.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

oh dude they didn't have any flashing. they just tarred the shingles to the edge lol

[@charlesthomas8590]

Gotta pay more attention - lol I just reviewed the video and saw brake type Tapco pro 19

[@eastside0434]

Shingles need cut back on saddle to allow water to run off and I noticed you cut out the video of how you must have used caulking on the top corner,I wouldn't have used coil stock for chimney flashing and would have blown out the dust and used mortar to fill the joint.

[@darrenbrinkley4430]

My question is how do you pay your guys? Hourly? Or by the job? Seems like a lot of manpower just kinda hanging out. But it is excellent work. Looks great

[@cervix-a-lot8254]

use a dab of Dawn dish soap on your fingertip when caulking...it does work

[@charlesthomas8590]

Love your videos bro, very informative and great content. What model - make of brake are you using? I am 60 years old and still consider myself a student of the trade - always looking and trying to learn to better equip myself as a tradesman of the trade.

[@travissmith3720]

Would have been way easier to flash chimney first, then install counter flashing. Would've looked way better too

[@harrygilbert4593]
