Great tutorial, thank you. The incompetent company that installed my roof argued that kickout flashing wasn't needed, when it was there before. Now i have water leaking into my soffet and theyre saying thats normal...
I sometimes spend an hour just doing kickouts and diverters for ends of gables (in vancouver, bc, the fascia ends go past the eaves of the roofs) so the little diverter flashing that gets thrown in there diverts the small amount of water that travels down to be pushed into the gutter. But i do the fold method for my kickout flashings, takes a bit more time to do but gives me more assurance of kicking water out than having a pinhole in the corner, which i mean probably doesnt let any or much water through but in an hour i can do do atleast 30 which lasts for quite a bit of roofs.
My flat roof over the back patio has a drip edge, but rain water goes between it and the gutter. Not all the water reaches the gutter and it goes under to the eaves and rots the open eave boards. Should some flashing be put over the drip edge ?
Could be the drip edge but is most likely your shingles or metal not hanging far enough over. Or improper installation. Best luck would be sliding a piece of metal up under the roofing to extend the roof further into the gutter.
Kick out can be added after a roof put on? Any experience with J'D kickouts (on Amazon, has built in j channel)? New roof with a new leak where the 2nd floor meets an addition with vinyl siding. I think i have 2 wood siding areas that could use them too because the one gutter has some rotted wood.
I'd choose OSB over plywood because it's more stable to warping. J channel was removed to get weather watch behind the siding before the steps. It was put back after the shingles go on.
Appreciate the video!

Sounds sketchy

hope you changed that rotten OSB
We always take care of our customers and make sure that they get a great roof over their heads.

You cut the metal and fold it past itself does this not creat a pin hole in the corner? Try folding instead of cutting
It does. Folding is better. But I'd rather have a cut kick out than none at all! This is entry level
nice video
Appreciate it and appreciate all of your content

@@themillennialroofer do you have a link or name of that flashing?

Yes. Slightly more difficult but doable. J'D work just fine but making your own out of aluminum is definitely cheaper.
Totally
Did anybody else notice at the very end of the video on the lower level the underlayment was run short !
Done that way on purpose. Run the paper short of the walls and come on top of it and up the wall with an 18" strip of I&W
"diverter"
Majority wins on language. You're not wrong
Who uses osb on a roof and where’s the j channel, no weather watch either
I'd choose OSB over plywood because it's more stable to warping. J channel was removed to get weather watch behind the siding before the steps. It was put back after the shingles go on.
