It's frustrating that so many of these YT roofing channels dwell on speed and the flashier aspects of the trade. I really like what you've done here, concentrating on a specific and common source of leaks and walked the viewer through the best practices. Thanks.
Finally someone shows the proper way
As a roofing contractor in Nebraska I appreciate your quality videos. Keep them coming!
Talk about doing it right then pull the siding and run the i&w up the wall
Hey what's I&w I never heard of that before

Thanks for posting these videos. They are very helpful.
Nice work Dilly! Bonus points for the Nirvana shirt! Average Time!!!
I have to watch every video now! Great job!
Type 2/3 tar does become brittle when cold....mostly used on tar & gravel low slope or flat. Plastic Cement which is more commonly used for some instances on a shingle roof becomes hard when cold....but is reinforced with fiberglass and mostly deteriorates due to U.V rays, and time. Awesome video as usual!
Excellent explanation thanks for the correct way to do this. Seen many jobs put on the wrong way and that is exactly what happens, and most of the time the rot is way worse than in this example.
At least it is getting done properly now... I smiled when he said it gets cold in Canada. I have never been but I hear it can be brutal.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing you skills
THUMBS UP GREAT JOB
Great showing, thank god for
Nice job dilly
Nice!!
It's alright to be average. lol. Can you go back in time to the 90's and raise the "average" bar above the "done right" line? Same exact issue here. vinyl upgrade with two layers of shingles, buried flashing. Thanks for showing this so I don't feel alone. Wish me luck tomorrow
Best of luck!! 👌🏼
Just burnered one and watched the video. Bigg time
Good video. Way to show its not that hard to it the right way. Stay average 👍👍👍
I put a single long flashing on that exact configuration (my own house) and it was fine for maybe 8 years. when the leaks started off and on for awhile I kept going up to see what was happening and couldn't understand. My brother made me step the flash. No more leaks!
Commenting for support
Gt Bkts I appreciate it! 👌🏼
I'm doing my own roof replacement, this video explained what I needed to know about 'step flashing'! As in, what you call that metal in the first place, and how it is assembled when the time comes. Thanks!
That’s awesome. I’m glad it helped out!
My daughter just bought a house here in Trussville Alabama. The previous owner had a roof put on it's been on for 4 years now. We noticed a leak in the dining room, I up in the attic took a look sure enough there was a leak. I used to Roofing back when I was younger. The person who did the roofing will not honor the warranty. Because if not transferable, transferable or not. He should have done the job right, this has nothing to do a warranty. But has everything to do with doing the prep work right. So not 64 years old, I've got to get my sorry butt up there and fix it myself cuz he will not honor it. I love your video good information
Good job kid
PLEASE explain why you do NOT remove the vinyl siding & ice guard up the wall?
You can do it!
Vinyl siding is very EASY to remove & reinstall.
Especially in Canada where you get get a snow drift at that location.
Cmon do it RIGHT!
Y not do it the right way and pull the siding put your inderlayment up the wall and put new flashing u dont want to nail the flashing to the deck only to the wall
Isnt it best to replace the flashing then to use old stuff
Rip out the tins,take siding off,run ice up the wall a foot,use new steps...easy
that steps didn't look reusable to me. I would replace such things. But... That's Canada, you know...
Thanks
Thanks for this. Yep I'm getting a roof done so found your old video. I want to make sure the roofer is doing it right? The step flashing does not need to be replaced? Can it be? I had siding done 2 years ago. the J channel is not nailed right through the step flashing?
I take the siding off every single wall and run I&W. Easy way to make it bulletproof along with replacing the step flashing.
Depending. Vinyl siding ya relatively easy to pop off enough to do thag and resecure the siding. Without fully removing it just enough for access.
But that old fuckjng aluminum siding. So crappy to try to remove and reinstall without bend/dent/scuffing etc.
But I will still fight to I/w and synthetic up the wall always even with old wall flash in place if their not replacing it, and always always new step flashing.
Just pull the siding and install new flashing
You got skills kid. But damn 15-year-old tin with 25-year/w brand new shingles bud! Lmao, looks good from my house
Hey man everything you have done here is amazing and thank you a lot for helping everyone including me haha, I have a question.. once you put the step flashing correctly over the shingle and so forth, my assumption is you are only nailing the shingle down and leaving the flashing just hanging on or do we go straight through the flashing into the shingle?
Did you nail the step flashing back down once you installed the shingles ?
I have the exact flashing and the exact problem. Need to check out the roof tomorrow to if when I had the roof replaced 7 years ago they did the shingles like this guy did. I suspect they didnt.
Just tore one off that had roof-to-wall instead of step going up a dormer. Valley was completely rotted, all along dormer wall was completely rotted and all under the dormer was Rotted. No ice and water in the valley either. Roof was only about 11 years old.
It's more important they cover the headlap than the nail line. Sometimes you gotta double the flashing if it doesn't move. Staying avg in buffalo ny. 🤙🤙
John I'm in Depew would you be interested in some side work? I could use a hand replacing repairing a few problem areas on my roof
Looks good other than those trashy IKO shingles. I recently used the dynasty series and they are still trash compared to OC duration
Ikr I thought he was putting old shingles back on
Flashing shingles should only need one nail in the upper corner, where the next row of tin shingle will cover the nail.
How come every other roll of shingles brake at the same spot? Big time!!
But irl he would have changed the Flashing : )
Lol nailem down , average roofer channel educational , but Josh daughter just taught him how last week . I surprised he remembered.
Average roofer is Robin as Josh is to Batman .
We have the edge overhang, how do we lift this to paint the fascia
Lois Calma if you’re talking about drip edge, that’s a tricky one to paint under. You can sort of bend it up, but it’s difficult to bend back down into place afterwards. I’d assume taping it off and painting around it would be the simplest way. Never though of that before. Good question.
My boss used to make us rip them all out, take off the J channel and replace step flashing new...needless to say, we weren't the fastest roofing company. Hell, we weren't even a roofing company lolll
It’s good practice to replace them every time you do a roof.
The aluminum isn't going to rust. the surface may oxidize a bit. I understand it pays more to replace more things too from your boss's point of view. cheers
Dont you need some roof between shingles and wall for expansion?
As little as a 1/16 spacing is sufficient with newer shingles.
Hey what brand knee pads do you guys use.
Kzoo CatFisherman prime grip
Yo dude I’m near vaughan and I’m a framer where in Ontario you at? / we can keep each other busy.
Does wind whistle when it go through ear holes?
No 😂😂
Also, those nails shouldn't be going into the flashing that close to the wall. Not only does it create an ingress point close to the joint, but it makes the flashing less usable for the next roofer.
I believe this is the exact problem I have. However, the result is I have water in my basement and this is the only place I can trace it from. Question, what does something like this generally cost? 100s 1000s?
If you are to remove the shingles and re flash the wall. Material varies on the length of the wall. Also the amount of shingles that need to be replaced. A bundle of shingles ranges from $10-35 each and they cover approx 33sq/ft and step flashing come in bundles of 50 and cost about $25 per bundle of step flashing.
How are you liking the Pitch Hoppers?
Schoen Roofing Better for standing and shingling, not really different than a couch cushion though. Honestly works well but not worth the price.
Your Average Roofer Thanks bro!
Schoen Roofing no problem!
Homeowners! DON’t do this. Put new step flashing with new shingles if you want it to last the life of the roof. Undo the siding and do it right step flashing is very cheap. You completely forgot the ice and water.
I just went through this today. One of the guys that just started working with us used one single piece of flashing up the wall. I have a feeling it’s going to leak. I always step flash my walls.
I like the single piece more.
It's an illegal installation if you don't
@@nothingforyouhere418 it will eventually leak with just one piece up the wall.
@@michaelcivitano7418 absolutely step only. Continuous is ridiculous. Water will go anywhere it wants. Like in your house….
I like putting that red tar tape in that corner as a just in case
Alright.
Stay Average. ✌✌🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dylan, to be honest - this is another well done video. But it's always better to replace the step-flashing. At 4:40 you are covering the flashing with a shingle and the flashing has holes in it. So there's a chance of water getting under the shingle (if it gets there, of course), and we do not want that. Also, you're installing new architectural shingles on there, so why keep the old and holey step flashing? When we argue with insurance companies about whether to replace or reuse them, some of them tell us that step flashing is reusable, and we say no one does that. Now an adjuster, if he puts some effort into it, can find this video and say, "Look, even a pro like Dylan is reusing them!"))) Do you see where I am going with this?)) Please replace the step flashing )))
I can understand why the step flashing was not replaced ! The siding needs to come off to do a new install of step flashing. Most insurance companies are pro-rating the roof today like a car tire warranty. After 25 years old, they insist your roof is no longer covered. I suppose they cover nothing under the roof either ? In this case that is heavy step flashing in good shape. I would of put a dab of roof cement on each nail hole, + it would seal shingle in place. The vid was exactly what I was looing for. I have a lifetime roof with mold in the back next to a shed dormer. I want to replave the shingles "oakridge" with the new mold guard shingles. I understand the warranty on mold is only ten years. However I am very aware where you coming from. Unfortunatly insurance companies have zero oversight for the constumer (owner). I bought a auto warranty policy, 4 K for 5-years. Bumper to bumper. My electric window stopped working. I called and they said it was covered. Than they said, you need to answer a few questions. 1st question . Do you need to remove anything from the door to work on the window motor ? My response ! "of course the window motor is inside the door not on the front seat. Their answer. That is not a covered , anything else we can do for you today ? I went to BBB. too many complaints, and was recomended "not to buy the warranty" Thanks for the vid Dylan.
So what did you do with that window motor?
Why does it work this way and not a single long piece on top of all the shingles
If it’s only on top of the shingles, water will get under it. If it’s all under the shingles water can get below the shingles and track sideways.
This method, forces any water that gets under the shingles back to the surface.
But know with all those nail holes. What gonna do.??
You should of said it was a two layer tear off average. It's leaking because it's a re-roof .
There's a very obvious reason we call it _step_ _flashing._ The way the previous roofer did this, he might as well have just used a continuous piece of metal. He missed the whole point of it being a series of separate pieces.
why no felt that like .brw eye driving with no scubba suit .willy alway wrap the willie boy ..there bad thing deep in the brw cave
Smells Like Teen Spirit. How not to do step flashing. AR will always show us the way 🤣🤣🤣>>>
Its ok to be average
He names his video right. Once you have watched to the end you you still don’t know how to install step flashing right because you need to remove the old step flashing and put ice and water all the against that wall.
Not according to our local building code. Always check your local codes before installation. A professional would know that.
Looks like shit lol.... good video dilly wacker
Some American built that roof.
