Roof leaking/rot repair

[@robert-ne1835]

It always amazes me how much people “get away with” doing lazy work. Nice job repairing the repair before doing the repair! Also appreciate your attention to detail getting the water to run off the upper side of the chimney.

Thanks 👍

[@brookemahanes]

Super respect for getting all that finished on a grueling hot day. And done right, too. You got mad skills and your work is so tidy and artistic.

[@chadvaillancourt]

Thank you so much 😀

Hi Chad love ur videos how much would this flashing job go for?

[@MrKerry98]

Beautiful work! thank you for sharing your experience.

[@nikond90]

Nice work Chad!

[@chadvaillancourt]

Thanks!

[@ShibaDowling-mo7ht]

I’m in need of flashing work and watching your videos has educated me. Where are you located?

[@MrMattDat]

Very nicely done!

What is the split release around the chimney?

[@jamesm.specht3504]

Nice work on this job. What is the tube of disgusting stuff? I am trying to find it to use on my flashing replacement.

[@chadvaillancourt]

Thanks. It’s just liquid window flashing, zip system makes something similar. The stuff I use was given to me, and isn’t available to the public.

[@garinvartanian9299]

It is a (STPE) sealant. Huber has liquid flashing. Also barribond is another. You can also try OSi Quad Max.

[@jamesm.specht3504]

Thank you.

[@ArrowheadWoodsInformed]

​@@jamesm.specht3504 no problem. The cleanup is with acetone or paint thinner.

[@Bbbbbbbbbbb-f1w]

Very professional!!!

[@jasons8388]

Is there step flashing under the counter flashing? Or are you using the counter flashing as the step flashing incorporated with the shingles?

[@chadvaillancourt]

Its lead flashing, so I do it all-in-one. If it was aluminum I would have to do step flashing and counter flashing because it bends so poorly.

[@jasons8388]

The all in one is an old school technique..I thought that's what you were doing. I'm a mason too and also do chimney restoration in CT. I enjoy watching your videos.. you do some good work. I might not agree with everything you do but overall you are professional.

[@chadvaillancourt]

I’m just trying to share, I realize I’m not the best, and I’m still evolving every day. There is just such a lack of people sharing detailed information about our trade, I feel obligated to share how I do things, even if I catch some criticism here and there, I don’t mind. I appreciate that you don’t agree with everything, it’s more about starting a conversation; so we can all get better.

[@ShibaDowling-mo7ht]

If you can recommend a roofing contractor/ company in the Snellville area of Georgia

[@TheBladez718]

Chad, im from ny. Been watching your vids. Wished you were in NY. I hired a roofing/chimney comp to rebuild my chimney roof up, ICE & water underneath, new step flashing, and flashing over it. It is a singled wall brick chimney with double flue pipes. Couple rain storms, no issues but last saurday, After hrs and hrs of straight heavy rain, i started getting leaks through my chimney brick wall inside my attic a ft or two down. Contractor came and said it absorbed too much water. He came and sealed my chimney brick with PWS-8 sealer. Idk if this will resolve the issue. Your input would be greatly appreciated. TIA

[@chadvaillancourt]

I don't think applying a sealer within one week of heavy rain in this type of weather is a good idea. I would rather wait until the chimney was good and dry. I would have recommended a custom stainless steel cap first before sealing.

[@timj5413]

what brand of ice and water shield do you recommend?

[@chadvaillancourt]

I always use Grace. Haven’t found anything better yet, for what I use it for.

[@Nan-mt8oz]

Come to ny to help repair my flashing

[@eduardocarranza2383]
