HOW TO REFLASH A SKYLIGHT LIKE A PRO

Proper flashing of a skylight is critical. On this project Adam was called out to inspect leaks around a skylight. We had to tear out all of the old flashing and skylight curb. The skylight was in great shape so we reused the skylight.
The proper procedures for flashing a skylight are demonstrated in this video.

No step flashings?

[@abrahamdediosrojas9495]

Great video, been watching you guys for a couple months now. Wish y'all nothing but the best, God bless

[@bobnewman5688]

Interesting to see how you manage with straight flashing. You still end up with upper corners that depend on sealant and the membrane below for protection in torrential rains. A formed upper flashing would be better, when one that fits is available.

[@pensive69]

we use a heat gun to 'flex-up' cold shingles in Western PA. and we flash and caulk quite a bit extra..

[@JeffThalheimer]

You did a great job at showing exactly what is involved in the process. I’d trust you to do a great job every time. 😊

[@cribbsprojects]

Great teaching! Excellent video. Super helpful!

[@bleu8555]

looks good usually i run an individual flashing 3”x6” per shingle running all the way up that ensures any water slides right down without having a chance to get back underneath the shingle and flashing and being called out again

[@a-ron9884]

Called step-flashing. Which I don't understand why isn't standard practice

[@pavlsv16]

I have a porch with some skylights that I installed. The pitch of the roof is 1 or 2 so it’s almost flat and I have water pooling on top of the skylight. Is there a type of flashing that would prevent that from happening?

[@STmac74]

Great vid, question if I may. Can silicone perish and let in water? I believe silicone was used in between the curb and the skylight cap when it was seated. After repointing the coping stones and applying a water proof sealant underneath them and still having water ingress it dawned on me that water may be getting in over the curb and under the skylight cap through the silicone and into the roof space. Would like your opinion. Thanks

I have leak from skylight on my concreate tile roof. A roofer said he has to remove tiles like 10 feet from edge or something and he would give me an estimate. My home was built in 1988 and I don't believe this skylight(have 2 of them) had been replaced so it is an original imo. Should I replace the skylight as well? Please advise.

[@gregorypowell9132]

My advice after over forty years experience. Hire a good roofing mechanic. It's not as easy as it looks. This man is good if ya can afford him. A good roofer is worth their weight in gold.

[@jamesbao6538]

This guys didn't use his head, he just followed some routines that he learned somewhere without even thinking.

[@danilberzin3556]

Basically you did the same thing as I was there before you put one piece of metal when you should’ve use the step flashings after each single within a year or two is going to leak the same way

[@davidtaylor4834]

He did it wrong! He should have used step flashing, not one long piece of L-metal, which is going to leak!

[@RichardTurlington]

in the business of staying in business perhaps?

[@stephendee7839]

He put an ice-dam under the flashing that drains onto the top of shingles below the window. It's less labor intensive than the step-flashing approach, more costly, because the ice-dam is really expensive but the method is just as effective. I would not have run the ice dam on top of the curb for energy efficiency, but it'll work for keeping the roof dry and the window sealed.

[@TcChino5]

[@masonhall7361]

Enjoying your videos. Any concerns about water traveling under new shingles against new curb since no ste flashing was used?

[@masonhall7361]

Meant step flashing.

[@williamsmith8767]

Agreed. That was my point as referenced above. Why no step vs. a long section. I it won't leak at the skylight, but the lack of step isn't directing the water back on top of the lower shingles which isn't preferred in my opinion.

Where do you get those aluminum pieces? Are they made specifically for the skylight? Did you cut them out yourself? What is the correct name of it?

[@randomizer3775]

U should put in the time in the video so we know exactly your question, but I think the answer is Step Flashing, also there are kits for specific skylight that also come with counter flashing, should come with new skylight. Edit: wow they used one piece row flashing, I think they use roof cement to stop water from going under, would like to see this hold up, I think step flashing will hold up better

2 things. Use urethane caulk, never tar. Also the one long flashing on the sides is asking for trouble. Always do a run of step tins

[@justonemorecast]

Interesting technique. I've always wondered why not just use one long piece instead of step flashing.

[@mutante7714]

You can't beat the quality of step flashing technique period...

[@qualityleafguardsguards7978]

mutante 77 not true. Just another old fashioned opinion

[@Josh-ww5kz]

@@qualityleafguardsguards7978 so wait you're tying to say that when you're shingling against a wall that's 30ft long, it's better to use one long piece of L flashing rather than step flashing? Get out of here. Step flashing is the best way to water tight a side wall and skylight. Water flows downwards yes, but it also has the chance to flow sideways a few inches every half foot or so. That's literally why there's a 6+ inch book, no nails within 4 inches of a seam. Felt or synthetic is to be put on horizontalally at the eaves then continues upwards with a 3" overlap. Etc etc. Don't go commenting on something G that you don't have a clue on how it works.

[@shawnshaffer7408]

is it against the law to use step flashing in the west?? looks clean but all vertical curbs .walls in a shingle system roof should be step flashed

[@mikeylopez9625]

Exactly... I can't fucking stand seeing these dumbasses acting like they fucking know

[@morehp1]

Why would you want step flashing vs. one piece? I come from commercial side of roofing and have only experience with metal roofs, but that looks better then step flashing Iv seen done.

[@wlwangwlwang]

@@morehp1 I think because water will inevitably get underneath the shingles along the wall, the step flashing will keep bringing the under-shingle water to the surface before it spread sideways so far that it's already flow off the side edge of the flashing but still underneath the shingles.

[@dalibortadic1128]

I have a question for someone. Can the actual skylight leak or does it only leak around the skylight

[@stephenbatman33]

This type of skylight can leak over time, but if the roof has the proper pitch its pretty rare, typically what happens is these types of roofers do incorrect installs and thats what causes most issues.

[@Josh-ww5kz]

The actual skylight can leak, usually due to a defect in the skylight, rubber gaskets aren't installed correctly. But whenever a roofer inspects a roof for a leak call, you can usually notice if it's a skylight defect

[@glennhunter6187]

@@Josh-ww5kz it usually is an issue of improper gasket install, seen this 15 or 16 times on brand new skylight installs.

[@FAB0516]

Should've been a video on how to remove a shingle, taking your time while properly using your flat bar. Minimal detail about the skylight flashing

[@blue52851]

Is it no problem to reuse the shingles?

[@ferbenben1807]

I Would never reuse they breake when taking them off

[@Josh-ww5kz]

If you're careful enough, and the shingles are still in great condition, you could reuse them, to avoid having mismatched shingles especially on 2+year old roofs. Im sure you've noticed roofs that have different coloured shingles in some areas, but that's due to a leak or blowoffs. You just have to make sure you seal the nail holes on the shingle with roofing tar after you install them. Then put a few blobs of the same stuff to reseal the shingle down

[@reynerioguevara2990]

Looks like you just replaced that roof 2 days before you had to repair the skylight

[@kwmuntisbuilds1766]

Wrong way to flash. Just cause ice and water exists now doesnt mean you abandon principles of building and roofing. Step flashing is and always will be a necessity to proper water management

[@qualityleafguardsguards7978]

A one pc flashing for the side walls works great but really needs an open hem on the outer edges and in a lot of cases is the only thing used on high end metal shingles from the manufacture..

[@Josh-ww5kz]

Not true. You do realize how much better a piece of step flashing is per shingle right? For one. If water runs along that wall flashing and diverts out, bam right then and there it's under the shingles and hitting the underlayment. With step, it overlaps the shingle beneath it in a way that makes it so water has a low chance of actually doing that. And to make it worse. Its highly likely that he trimmed the corners of the shingle going against the curb. Water will catch that corner and run along it going underneath the shingle and hitting the nails. Won't leak soon but after a few days or weeks it will rust the nail out, then damage the sheething and cause leaks inside the house. Not to mention the mould that will start to grow because of the water. But I mean you're clearly a gutter guard installer so I wouldn't think that you'd know how water and shingle roofing works.

[@cleandiaper]

No step flashing, seems easier and less penetrations that could cause a leak.

You guys look like you do good work, but this video is titled as if you're going to show people how to ACTUALLY do it themselves. I suspect it's more of a marketing video so your potential future customers will see how thorough you are. So here's what it's like to watch this as a regular person who's handy but is looking for a tutorial: "We're going to replace the curb" ---video cut--- ""now that we have the curb installed we're going to put down the water and ice shield" ---video cut--- "here we have the water ice shield installed and we've cut the flashing to overlap" :/ Yes, I see that you've done it, but HOW!? Have someone film you ACTUALLY INSTALLING the curb and water/I've shield. Without that this is not helpful in showing people how to "reflash a skylight like a pro."
