How to Install Step Flashing | Shingle Roof Install Guide

In this video we’ll show you how to install step flashing around a skylight. This same process works when flashing around a chimney, so keep that in mind if you need to install step flashing around a chimney.
The methods of step flash installation that we show you in this video will ensure that your skylight stays waterproof and won’t cause any leaks or roofing issues. If you’re a homeowner, we recommend hiring a professional, licensed roofer rather than attempting any roofing work yourself.

Only 3 nails per shingle? How many nails are required by the product approval for the shingles?

[@nathanielvelazquez1147]

These are OC duration shingles. 4 or 6 nail pattern is acceptable per manufacturer installation instructions

[@stumpynubs5387]

How do you flash the top part of the skylight?

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

I have a video on that.

[@nathanielvelazquez1147]

With regular shingle flashing, which you can honestly run shingle flashing aground the perimeter of curb and seal with a 3 course of bull membrane bull

☑️👍

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Thanks for the thumbs up!

[@mmichaud08]

everywhere else you use an entire piece of metal, but for some reason in the corner you just need a little goop?

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

?

[@highnoter1]

Don't nail the flashing into the shingle. You are introducing an extra hole into the flashing. Why would you do that?

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

We generally dont nail it to the curb, especially if it is a brick fire place you are not able to do so. The nail we put in will be covered by the next row of shingles and flashings.

[@whommee]

putting that nail in the end of the shingle close to that curb, through the step flashing is a terrible thing to do

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

The next row of step flashing covers said nail. If your not dealing with Ice and snow its not a problem.

[@nathanielvelazquez1147]

Why not have some peel n stick running up the curb along side and head wall of that curb?
Your video shows no water penetration but it’s not sealed properly and any wind driven rain will leak.

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

I’ve never had a leak because of that, peel and stick is called ice and water shield and when used in similar situations is for ice

[@tyfreedom5793]

2:08 wrong, wrong wrong.. like very very wrong….🤦🏼‍♂️

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

Your wrong

[@tyfreedom5793]

Actually no I’m not… that’s so incorrect it’s not funny

[@tyfreedom5793]

And it’s “you’re” lol 😉

[@JonathanSHoover]

Yea I agree, I'd wrap the outside corner on the first piece of step, also you're guy is nailing very close to the skylight

[@dynastyroofingCNY]

Just because it’s not wrapped doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I’ve seen hundreds of roofers install this exact way and I’ve never seen anyone have an issue. Have an open mind, their are plenty of ways to do things on a roof

[@patryksawicki3078]

Wrong 😂😢

[@RoofRepairSpecialist]

lol, really sounds like you know best
