[@stumpynubs5387]

How far past the edge should the headwall flashing?

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Not sure I understand, if you mean to the right and left side i would say 3-4”

[@stumpynubs5387]

Yes, both sides. Thx@@RoofRepairSpecialist

What seals the top of the curb to the sky light? I took a blower to blow off the tree needles from the roof top and needles were coming through this gap. Sky lights are a year old and have had lots of heavy wind and rain with no leaks.

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Usually nothing, a waterproofing seal is not needed, if your worried about wind then a gasket will do

0:43 "Sidewall"

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Hmm, that does sound like the correct term. Thanks!

[@hollywoodwear123]

For the life of me I can’t find this type of flashing. Everything they sell is 90 degrees but I believe the roof to the head wall is a 45 degree angle. Is there an other name is it called beside head wall flashing or apron flashing? Thanks!

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Every region calls it something different, and every region has somewhat different flashings.

[@fernandomingo2398]

Question; nailing the flashing on top of the shingles is not a waterproofing issue? Thanks

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

It is, we just seal it with structural sealant. If it is a short run we try not to put any nails that are left exposed. On a long run such as this you need to put a few nails in.

Im using t 1-11 on a carport bumpout. So there is a low slope roof that meet a back wall. Should i put a osb panel on the back wall fist,flash it then cover with the t1 -11. Thanks.

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Sorry, I’m having a hard time understanding the application/ detail

[@stumpynubs5387]

Should there be snow and ice material around the skylight before the shingles and flashing??

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Depends, if you have ice and snow where you live then yes. If the skylight manufacturer requires it then also yes. Velux does provide it and require it.

[@stumpynubs5387]

@@RoofRepairSpecialist Yes, we do get a lot of snow some years. Thx I am trying to properly flash and shingle around my chimney that goes thru my garage roof and one side attaches to the gable end of my house.

[@stumpynubs5387]

Do you have a video on flashing an inside corner?

[@Aspenrayne]

Do you put nails in the 4” section of the flashing. If so how often?

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

We generally dont put nails in the exposed area of the 4" section unless its a long run. If its just a 2-3ft skylight it wont lift up. If it is a 10ft section under a wall we risk the flashing lifting up and we put nails to prevent that. I would say keep it at every 2-3ft on center. We try to minimize those nails as they will be left exposed.

[@Aspenrayne]

@@RoofRepairSpecialist the contractor that did my roof put nails approx every 1” on a 25’-30’ run. Excessive in my opinion.
