This video helped me a lot this past weekend. Whoever last worked on my roof, took ice and water shield and ran it OVER the flashing all around the skylight. No step flashing, nothing. just butted the IWS into the corner of the flashing, shingles over that and called it done. I had to clean it all up and your video was very helpful. I put in all new step flashing and made sure the flashing that came with the skylight pokes out under all the shingles. I did run the IWS under everything and 4" up the side of the skylight. Rained pretty well last night and no leaks.

Thank you for these great tutorials. I'm curious to know how do you approach flashing on an already installed roof AC unit when replacing shingles? A video would be ideal since I am sure you've encountered a situation like that one.

@RoofRepairSpecialist

4 ай бұрын

All the time, but every AC unit is different and definitely presents its own challenges.

This was an incredibly informative video, thank you. Not sure if you are still responding to questions, but here's mine. For the saddle flashing, you cut it flush with the skylight box, leaving a small lip that extends past each end. Why do you cut out the excess piece instead of wrapping it around the skylight box? And if the purpose of the lip is to direct water away from the corner, why not have an angled lip instead of a uniform lip of what appears to be about 1 inch? Thank you.

@RoofRepairSpecialist

Ай бұрын

Wrapping it would work, I like the idea, definitely doesn’t hurt. If I understand the second part correctly I think leaving it straight is better as you’re not trying to direct the water necessarily, you’re trying to keep the water away from the corner.

Great video. Very professional. I’m trying to solve a problem with slight water leak from skylight. I think I sealed in the bottom of skylight with Karnak roofing sealer and now water can’t escape so it ends up leaking inside. What caulking did you use in this video.

@RoofRepairSpecialist

Жыл бұрын

We use ChemLink M1, however there are allot of great caulkings on the market. The correct flashing is far more important than the caulking.

Great vid. Just one additional thing. Keep the shingles away from the step flashing by at least one inch. Thanks.

5:18 the fourth nail that Marco is putting in the shingle near the framing is redundant because you will nail this area of the shingle anyway when you nail the upper edge of the step flashing there. the nails that will go through the step flashing, they will also go through that part of the shingle underneath them, so no need to nail the same location of the shingle twice

Thank you so much what a great video! Couple of questions if you have a chance. How do you fasten the curb to the roof? I was guessing it was toenailed but wasn’t sure. Also, if placing down roll flashing/ice and water shield, does it go over the roofing felt or under it? And finally, any tips for sealing off a tree growing through a roof penetration? Thanks again!

@RoofRepairSpecialist

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Aaron, I'll try to answer best as I can. Usually it's just toe nailed, sometimes simpson straps are used, 90degree brackets. The ice and water shield can go either way, generally we install it prior to underlayment. I believe that is what OC recommends. Lastly sealing around a growing tree; I have not done this, I have seen people use flexible EDPM flashing, its rolled flashing used on metal roofs.

I’m watching this and really kind of want to put some sealant between the shingle and the step flashing because it’ll likely be months before the preapplied shingle adhesive is warm enough to stick.

No we don't work with any metal roofs. I would recommend looking elsewhere., I have seen some good videos out there on metal roofs.

I noticed new flashing kits are very expensive (I'm hoping to install 6 windows) but the sheet metal doesnt seem too complicated to cut to size and buy an inexpensive bender. Is there anything I'm missing if I were to go that route?

@RoofRepairSpecialist

Жыл бұрын

No, if you bend your own flashing that is totally fine. By us pre bent flashing is very cheap and easy to find.

the lower flashing, we call wall flashing, and we make sure it's the same colour as the step flashing, to match the colour of roofing. and what you are calling saddle flashing, we call back-pan, and also make sure it matches the colour of the step flashing.

Why wouldnt you use the same color metal that you used for the step flashing that makes no sense. Plus you should put a counter flashing all the way around the skylight.

The other flashings don't come in the same pre finished color. I don't think counter flashing is necessary as long as the skylight comes on top of the step flashing. It wont hurt though.
