    On those jobs I like to cut into the brick before the new shingles are installed . Sometimes it won’t come clean from the dust on shingles .

      i do too! didnt work this time!!! a good leaf blower gets most of it. it really depends on color of shingles and color of brick with staining

    Try making a separate piece of metal for ridge cap then tie the sides into. Might work.

    What caulking you recommend, I need to cover the groove in stucco wall where I will be cutting to fit the flashing, not sure what to use, also thanks for the video, I learn some good stuff

    This masonry counter flashing was installed incorrectly, cutting straight through brick and mortar along the roof plane, where it is supposed to be many pieces embedded into the mortar joints, which allows proper expansion & contraction of each brick course, while undergoing seasonal temperature changes. When you cut through the bricks, you actually compromise the structural integrity of the brick unit, and also interlock the different courses of brick. This type of flashing will have to be re-caulked every 1 to 5 years.

    How wide of a strip of sheet metal did you use to fabricate the counter flashing at 8:30 (brick headwall behind porch roof)? How deeply does it go into the reglet? How high is this reglet from shingles below? How many inches does this counter flashing overlap shingles below?

    • @Lifes_Apprentice

      the strip is about 6 inches up and about 4 inches over the shingles with reglet return its about a 12inch girth. we cut into brick or mortar about 3/4 of an inch

    The flashing going down the roof should have the flashing lip under the shingles .No,..?

    11:00 I woulda put another piece of ridge cap down over your metal work and I’m not saying that cause I think it’s bad

    Never want to grind through brick. Step counterflashing is best

      But customers house if thats what they wanted

    • @Lifes_Apprentice
      @Lifes_Apprentice  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      this is common practice. we only grind about 3/4 of an inch in the brick

      Every swinging dick puts counter flashing over flashing
      What stops water going in the flashing on the wall without the counter flashing
      If you just put caulk on the flashing
      You shouldn't be a roofer

      Especially if it's historic. I would want to see the kerf cut into the grout and stepped.

    for a historic building you should never do a modern sloppy job by not doing step the flashing and not using copper.
