Crazy to see how far you guys have come

Great video but i want to add few things to it from my past experiences. 1. You should bend the flashing at 90 degrees, when water go under the door that will help to prevent water going pass the door. 2. Better to add liquid flash to cover the nails and corner AVM system.

Building up in the mountains is not easy. Especially if you are not there. Hired one contractor to install my sliders. Told me it was bone dry inside. Not! Hired another contractor. Had the same problem. Came across your video on how to do it properly. I took a week off of work and seeing that they were 8' sliders and 12' openings I hired a couple of guys for the heavy lifting and did myself. Guess what? No more leaks. Even took a pressure washer to it, just to make sure. I watch your videos all the time. You guys are the best!

This Chanel is a treasure! Keep em coming

Another great video, thank you. Crocs..? Really..? And Crocs with socks..? I feel a Dr Suess moment coming on! I do not wear my patent Docs, I do not wear my Crocs with socks. I like to wear my big steel caps, As building sites still have mishaps. It is old fashioned, I suppose, To be attached to all ten toes. And despite fashion crimes like those, Keep making your fine videos. 🏅

Crocs are super comfortable. Which model are those?

Comprehensive video. Where I'm from we use blueskin to seal door and window sills, in a shingled fashion. I find sometimes installing windows or doors the tape can become punctured. Flashing is pretty bombproof. I did notice when he taped the exposed edges of the metal to the plywood had negative laps in the tape.

Wish i watched this before i installed my door😩 love to SEE your tips and tricks. from Norway

i feel like wearing crocs while installing a door is a safety hazard

there's many ways to put in a door with flashing .... this is one of the better ways. Great job PB Brothers

I'm just now getting around to watching the old videos but im loving them~

Looks great, if I could make a small suggestion. I like a to bend an upside down hem on the inside to keep any potential water corralled.

Looks pretty watertight guys, great job! I too am very conscious of making my opens watertight so they last for many years. I install all of my doors with stainless steel pans with welded corners. I also do a 1.5 inch turn up on the interior side edge of the pan and 10 inch both end of the pan and a built in drip edge to the exterior edge. I know it sounds a little extreme but when you have a 150k wood floor in a house and you're in a hurricane zone and constant saltwater air. Stainless steel let's me sleep at night. The stainless adds abought $1,000.00 per opening. Great channel guys!

Good job, is there any reason you dont bend the flashing 5/8" at 90 deg at back of the door, create a lip so that if the silicone ever was to fail, water cannot proceed any further? Also why dont you install zip tape vertically first, then horizontally to prevent any chance of water intrusion behind the tape?

If I’m going to the effort to put a pan under the door it always has the return bend at the back

Very Good .. I like to as well bend a back dam . about 1/2 " in case the sealant doesn't muddle in every void Some door sills have under-voids and others are solid .. By the shade it seems that you are in a " Sheltered Area " so the danger of water is less .. So I always say " Anticipate that the rain is coming sideways " ... Good job .. Nice to see people doing it right instead of being chimps with tool belts .. Also as well .. Nice to have a closely colored flashing to the finish since the flashing should be partially exposed instead of resting the siding on the deck .. " Wick " .. Most goomba's never take that into consideration since their grand-pappies been building since the turn of the century !! ..

This is where you get your HVAC guy to build pans with soldered seams. Bending your own metal and then adding a dollop of sealant in the corner is half-assed. Needs a back dam on the inside as well.

I just took out out a old french door to put a new one in. They did not use a flashing kit at all but whatever caulk they used, it sealed it up tighter than Fort Knox. It was quite a challenge to get out. They probably got lucky as the door was covered by a big eaves overhang. I will be using a pan kit and proper flashing this time!

Could you have used flexible flashing tape instead of the metal one? Also, I have a shed/office built on a concrete slab with osb sheeting. I will be installing shiplap cladding. Do you have any recommendations on how to flash the door opening?

NAILED IT!!!

Pretty good. But I like to bend a 5/8" lip up on the back side of the pan.. that way if rain ever got past the sealant it couldn't go past the door pan.. but you about nailed it....

Hey legends big fan from Australia, out of interest our building code does not allow us to penetrate flashing on the bottom edge due to possible water penetration. Have you had any issues with nailing through the bottom, or do you und up sealing the nails? Keep up the great work.

Yeah. Um. I was thinking why put that aluminum flashing if your gonna make holes with the nails and the most important part is to stop the water coming into the house by bending the inside up a half inch silly

Yup....theres alot of good reliable brands out there...but I prefer Lexel also...and it does seal on a damp surface.

Thanks for the tutorial! Question...how many cuts to your hands do you sustain every day?

This is the video I’ve been searching for. But I’d give anything to see the next step in succession. I’ve got a bad wall downstairs, previous owners did a dodgy and every time it rains water gets is, and it rotted out the threshold and skirting. I’m looking for a way to fix it properly so it never happens again.

Did you use galvanized roofing nails to nail the aluminum pan in place?

Doesnt that create a reverse lap at the sill pan? Shouldnt the tyvek WRB lap in a shingled manner onto the pan?

LEXEL! It's the best.

The flash on the bottom @ 5 is to cover the fruit door situation as thats what it did before it left my benz 😂

Any reason you dont cut your house wrap and tuck the flashing under it? Zip tap is good but shingleing house wrap over flashing is better. Tape over house wrap creates a reverse shingle.

Mic Mills I just finished up a job redoing the siding, windows, doors, and trim on a building in a climate that gets decent snow fall in northern Arizona. The previous installers had cut the house wrap each time they installed flashing above the windows and there were water issues at every single cut. With this door flashing, I could see you doing the flashing first then wrapping over the side flashing to shingle that correctly. But I just am not a fan of cutting house wrap unless you’re really going to go wild with the peel and stick. Just my 2 cents

Are you guys somewhere it Snows? The reason I ask is I hate it when the put doors at deck level here. A single step up is always better when you will have snow setting on the deck here.

Do you install a sill pan on top of gypcrete?

great vid. i would have put the zip tape first; touching the wood. why? metal will ALWAYS conduct water vapour in ALL climates. metal sweats and over time can rot the wood, even if slowly. the zip tape aint gonna rot, so the metal can sweat all day and cause no issues. and next, put a bead of lexel under the metal so bugs and air dont get in. I also cringed when you put nails right thru the metal into the floor. Now, only the lexel is keeping water and air out. And yes your monster over hangs will prevent a large issue to begin with. thanks

agree with arthurdentzappobeeb. soldered pan preferrably copper with back dam. nail the bends..do not nail into the sill. liquid flashing like fast flash better than bituthane. that being said, they did a pretty good job compared to what a lot of people do

So you don't use Lexel between the flashing and your sill?

Jamie is decked out!

no rolling the zip tape with a roller?

Not back flange at the interior side. The caulking under the door sill will block water from exiting the front edge of the door so flashing this will allow water to flow back across the flashing and inside the house because there is no back flange on the sillpan flashing. If this door is located on a brick veneer wall , water absorbing into the brick mortar especially the brick above the door can travel down the back of the brick and around the door where it will leak inside because the caulking and the sillpan are not done correctly. Take a look at the pre-made sill pans they all have a raised edge around three sides of the sill pan this prevents water from traveling back inside the house. Great effort but bad thought process

Glad I'm not the only one that wears Crocks on job site

Zip tape needs to be rolled with a zip roller (or other textured roller) to properly adhere. it doesn't work the same as vycor or protecto wrap.

So ya make a water sealed pan then proceed to puncture with nails ?

One way to do it!

What the name of that flashing

The metal sill pan may not be the best solution for your climate and home. The material causes a thermal bridge that ultimately creates moisture where you were trying to keep it out. I’m no scientist however I believe lead does not transfer temperature as drastically and is used commonly for sill pans. Plastic pans are a nice idea but don’t typically come in one piece which is not ideal .

Just think like water and you will be fine

All your flashing and taping should have been installed under your house wrap....waterfall just like roofing....Just a little extra protection

Shouldn't you start your tape from the bottom and work your way up 🤷🏽‍♂️

I prefer jiffy seal....

Just nip the opposite side of where your wanting to bend that 90, see how your top had a wrinkle in it, nip 1/8th an it wont do that.
