I've watched several of your videos and not only are you doing other people a service you're also doing yourself a service. Good advice for DIYers and still 99% of people are not going to or can get on their roof so at least they can honestly see what you are doing work-wise. It's a win for everyone. And even DIYers like myself that are getting old, I don't want to do it, I just want to know I have an honest person up there that knows what they're doing. So I applaud you!
One of my big pet peeves when I used to do residential work, was that people would always choose form over function, and I'm not wired that way, I want it to work well, and if it looks plain, so be it
I like that but are you worried at all that the bottom headwall flashing just butting up to that inserted piece will leak right there? Should one calk those two or...bend a small upward angle on the left end of that long flashing just a smidge to keep water from leaking down between the two?
Hello I commented on and old videos so you may not have seen it I’m just curious about edge protection in the US do you not need it do you just not use it I’d like to know the rules over there thanks
I have a very unique house im about to roof, a low slop roof Barn style, nearly flat roof, The eve lands on the flat roof which extends with a dormer window and racks on the sides. im lost for as how to flash it properly. Any chance I can send you some pictures to ask your advise?
Yes, you can send them to the email listed on the about page. Or you can find us on facebook at grand roofing inc and send them in the messenger there.
I'd be suspicious of that nail high on the end wall flashing (left dormer), often times missing decking and likely under lying shingles don't get that high either.
So many hacks out there. I had a client with a stained ceiling. I got on the roof and saw that the roofer literally had 100+ nails heads exposed all over the roof. They didnt nail on the nail line but on the lower exposed part of the shingle randomly. The nail heads were rusted so you couldnt see them easily with her brownish colored roof. My moms roof was done and they left 12" of flashing missing from the peak area where wall met roof. Pathetic that people literally dont do their jobs correctly. Her window company missed a caulk joint on one window and it leaked behind the siding an into her bathroom ceiling. HACKs keep me in business fixing their shoddy workmanship.
Construction workers are some of the worst. They will continue to do shoddy work until you hold them accountable. Issuing a fine to that worker is a good start. People do not care until it hurts their pocketbook.
ice and water should run up the wall at least 4 inches and should adhere directly on to decking, don’t nail in your seams or the bottoms of your step flashings, get the bigger size 4”x4”x8”step flashings , it all depends on the situation you’re that will dictate how you go about flashing certain points on a roof, this guys videos are always good to learn on since he also gets snow and ice dams in the winter
You can only blame the install but so much. You can tell whoever owns that home is not willing to pay for quality. You get what you pay for. By going with cheap labor and materials they guaranteed future problems
Shouldn't it be a solid CORNER piece of metal to flash the entire corner? What you put in will make a good difference, but to truly prevent leaks shouldn't a flashing designed to cover corners with no gaps be put in?

"Functionality trumps cosmetics" !! More people need to think this way!!

@@BeandiptheredneckWas going to be my comment as well.
I'm going to be redoing flashing & siding around 2 dormers soon, so thanks for this tip set.
You’re the best in the game bro
I enjoy listening to your expertise…
What about the gap between the bottom wall flashing and the side wall flashing?
Those shingles were a nightmare on our low pitch roofs in Florida when they came out..
I have the same problems. Thanks for the info!
" Hey Rocky ! Watch me do this stop leak with one hand tied behind my phone " tHanks for the video!!!
Thanks for sharing, great job!
Awesome vids! Keep it up!
Good job!!!

Can you make a video on where to nail on the offset/layouts
Brilliant explanation!

Be the raindrop.
Where do you go?

How to flash a dormer where ice dams are likely. I live in a cold climate in an old house where it would be impossible to stop ice dams.
ice and water should run up the wall at least 4 inches and should adhere directly on to decking, don’t nail in your seams or the bottoms of your step flashings, get the bigger size 4”x4”x8”step flashings , it all depends on the situation you’re that will dictate how you go about flashing certain points on a roof, this guys videos are always good to learn on since he also gets snow and ice dams in the winter
Or use a flash right they should've got a new roof than the siding

You are absolutely correct..we used to build them out of copper and solder the folds..
Roofing can be far more complicated than it appears.
I only had to listen for 5 sec. and he is wrong. Didn't finish video after that.
Come on. Make a proper bottom saddle!
out of copper and solder it..old school!
It's just a piss poor installation. Regardless of the substandard flashing, with a valley that close, we would have slathered that in grace.
