I’m not trying to be ignorant but I would never let you install a roof for my company. Your nail placement is completely wrong and there is many other ways to do the corner. Your apron flashing should be extended a couple inches past the corner and then rounded off at the bottom corner. The neighborhoods we install roofs in you have to be meticulous with every aspect of the roof.

the gaf videos recommends to nail to roof only , never to the wall. and I think it makes sense. flashing is a piece of roof( it gets glued by shingle too) system and should remain with roof body, while the walls/roof junction moves.

A few issues to point out Shannon: 1. Never metal to bare wood. Always put in a vapour barrier on the wall before the metal is installed. Avoids sweating 2. Nail the steps to the roof top outside corner. Nailing into the wall could cause buckling as the roof and wall move differntly in warm and cold weather. Also gives you the possibility of making step repairs in the future as the nails are accessible and not hidden behind the siding. 3. Leave a 1/2' to 3/4" gap ( I use 1/2" gap ) between the shingle and previous step ( channel ) to allow water to flow though and prevent blockage from needles or debris 4. The bottom wall flashing ( not the step ) should wrap around the wall and it's bottom leg should extend out under the step above it . I just remember metal should seam up to and overlap metal 5. The very bottom step flashing should extend out at least four inches past the bottom. You might need to use 2 steps to make this work I think what you've suggested would work, but there could be future problems. I'm a roofer here in Vancouver. Great work on all of these roofing videos.

Just a point on your second issue about nailing to roof instead of wall. Great in theory, I learned this also but not realistic simply because when you nail the j-trim on the wall to catch the bottom edge of siding there will be plenty of nails through the step flashing and into the wall. I usually use a self sealing membrabe on the wood first before the step flashing goes against it.
@ozziestrom9793
@ozziestrom9793 8 жыл бұрын
WE INSTALL THE J-MLDG. but only with one nail at the far top left or top right end of the channel depending on what side you're going up the roof. By doing this, only one nail is going through the step flashing eliminating possible leaks from nailing down low into the J-mldg. slots. When the siding is installed into the J- mldg. it actually holds the J in place against the wall. You can also run a bead of compound at the base of the J as an extra precaution. We've been doing this for years, never had a call back..........We also install the ice-water shield where needed

HI, I am trying to estimate how many pieces of step flashing per linear foot or per shingle. I know this may depend on actual width of flashing. Though most pre-made step flashing appears to be 5 x 7" which doesn't provide much rise against wall behind siding material. Also I see some allow more overlap of step flashing across the top of the shingle and prior to the next end piece of shingle is installed. Your input is appreciated.

The step flashing helps direct any water that gets under the shingles back out on top of the next row right away a long 1 piece length has the water flowing down it a long ways and more chance that that water will creep sideways and off of the flashing on to the roof sheathing before it ever gets to the bottom of its length.. This make it less likely that you will get significant damage .

Prior to this video (pretty basic stuff) gents, remember to run your underlay up the 90s. I prefer to run min an inch or so higher than the height of the step flash, this gives that nail a second job, additionally securing the underlayment. Wrapped outside corners, always the way to go.

My house made in 1973 with aluminum siding would be very difficult to do flashing the way your saying. You dont just remove the bottom levels of aluminum siding, they do not come apart like that without ruining them, they would be bent. I am going to reroof as it was previously done by roofers, angle flashing slips up under the existing siding with no J channel and is left loose on the wall, not nailed. It is still nailed thru the shingles. On a wall with a slope, siding is loose along the edge and has room to slip up between siding and the wall. I have repaired an upper story corner of the house above the large 24" wide overhanging soffit on a sidewall. I removed the siding and used 1/2" plywood. I used Protec 200 from the small roof section going across that soffit roof and up the wall 2 feet. Then used a drape of Protec 200 to go down the wall overlapping the underlayment that came up from the roof. So in the corner where wall meets roof is solid fabric underlayment. I am going to flash with 7" by 8" pieces cut from a 14" by 50 foot trim coil. It is better than what was there, no underlayment wrapping, and angle flashing was 2" legs and 6.5" length and lousy exterior broken apart sheet rock sheathing.

Nice video as always. I'm Not a roofer but have done many construction jobs of all kinds. I don't think it's a great idea to nail to the wall as it will not be easy to replace when the time comes for a new roof. It's not going anywhere with the last row of siding over it anyway. I Just nail it to the deck.

I kick the roof-to-wall past the corner a few inches then fold the side. Trace the angle on the step and cut it off even but leave a little kick out on the bottom to shed water. You can put a little goop in the very inside corner. I don't leave exposed flashing because it looks ugly. Don't nail the step too close to the wall because it may leak and maybe leave a 1/8” or 1/4" gap for water to flow on the path of least resistance

Probably because we take pride in doing things right. His video randomly poped up and I commented how he nailed in the water way on another video. Nobody’s hating if anything I’m telling him how to properly do something he’s claiming he knows how to do

Everything I've read is that step flashing should be nailed to the roof like a normal shingle, not to the wall (read that it can buckle). Most skylight manufacturers recommend roofing tar with each course as well. Why do you recommend nailing to the wall? Cheers... you have great videos.

Awesome video. Why is step flashing better than a long solid piece of flashing?
@HouseImprovements
@HouseImprovements 7 ай бұрын
With a long single piece the moisture that gets by the shingle to the metal just follows it a long ways down the roof and sometimes just rolls off under the shingles to the roof decking. The steps allow moisture to only travel a short distance and its directed right out onto of the shingles again.

Never put a nail through the metal flashing when you're nailing the shingle/slate or shake. Putting a nail through the middle of the flashing defeats the purpose of the metal.

Ok so i see a lit of mistakes first the flashing is not supposed to be seen it should be under the shingle completely or you will have a complaint by home owner and second the bottom corner is not done how u said the bent the baby tent or flashing its trimed to the corner of the wall also each side wall dosent matter if its a house wall or what ever its necessary to place ice guard or ice and water or what ever u call it and it must go under and upthe wall or behind the flashing just for extra protection
