I like your videos because they are "real". They are not rehearsed and cleaned up to make you look like a star. Thanks for the honesty.
Always gonna be this way thanks man
You guys do good work. The difference between your videos and the other "professional videos" is that yours is more in line of how a job site actually is, lol. Keep em' coming and I will keep watching and picking up pointers, cheers..
I think that's one of the only reasons my videos do well lol thanks man I appreciate the support

“Who knew how smooth you could get it when you cut the tip yourself” 10/10 My laborers always doing jacked up cuts on the tubes man... I feel ya 👌🏽😂 Nice work
Laughed my ass off at the "can you see my bald spot?", "Totally", "Really?" then the look on your face! Oh the joys of being 30+.
haha i'm only 29 truthfully lol

Well, I think I first noticed mine around 27-28, so comment still applies xD
I respect the cutting without a mask!! I do that all the time.
Next morning is a cough day ;)
Always liked guys like him..a little adhd with a dash of chill.
lmfao that was accurate
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’m really appreciative of all the help you’ve give me without even knowing it. I’m a contractor that does a lot of insurance work and have always specialized in flooring and most interior work. Well I took out outside work and have used your videos to help me succeed and do well on unfamiliar things. Thanks a lot man and keep up the videos because I’m sure that I’m not the only one.
GREAT video, fellas. Thanks for posting.
little bit of info for those ever doing this. don't risk that grinder, I'm speaking from experience that thing can cut/burn though a nice pair of fingers before you realized you touched it. just don't do it. it's a silly shortcut.
I did my chimney June 2019 , I used mortar so I did not have to chip and cut 3 to 6 inch into the stone added a Cricket cut into the mortar 3/4 for the counter flashing , Did the same bend on the top the lip holds tight that wedge is the only way to go .
Next time blow off all the dust hit it with a wire brush and blow off again you will never have another bond issue. Also look into getting slicks or caulking spatulas from albion will keep your fingers cleaner and will prevent any debonding issues. I dont roof alot but i caulk alot of expansion joints on parkades and on high rise buildings with pre cast panels
💯 and filling cut line with clear before inserting/placing metal has never let me down. 😉👊
OutStanding..I was thinking, Wow this guy has a clean mouth Crew, I wouldn't survive.. Till I got to the end haha GREAT JOB
lmfao nahh man i really try to keep this thing fan and family friendly as a lot of homeowners will watch these videos but ya know...gatta throw it in there sometimes
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I Get It haha.. I've used your videos in a few pinches, Continue sharing your videos BROTHA, Thanx
We need more endings like this. Gold
hahaha i might throw in a few more
I fucking love the jokes at the end of this video I was dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
haha i was hoping you guys would
I can’t believe 8 people disliked this video. What’s to hate. This was great work 👍🏾
Thanks man. Always hater heard somewhere. I could save a kid from drowning and get 100 dislikes lol
I missed what kind of color sealer you were using on the brick. I use Big Stretch Caulk but I'm not sure how long it will last. I'm a super advocate of anything with GE Silicone seal in it but it is not paintable and they never have the color I need.
It's a catcher lol, love how we all have different names for these things. Counter flash look verry nice.
Slow down, brother! That stone ain't going anywhere! Looks great!
I love to see that you put that extra little bend in there to lock it in that stone lot of people don't do that now when you put that metal in that stone you will not be able to pull it back out because that extra little been that you put which I call a counter bend will lock it in tight good job brother
Thank you
Brother its always about the attention to details, that is whats going to take you to the next level, great job. Semper Fi
Always, thank you
When you run empty on bottle of caulk, do not throw away the nozzle, put it on the new bottle, so you save a nozzle amount of caulk with every new bottle. Though it works only for a single session.
This is smthg I'm going to keep with me! Very entertaining! Keep bringing those videos!! 📹
Looks good! We have usually did the counters in lead and form them but looks way quicker and easier!
I've caulked 8000 windows in quad and it took about 1000 too use that stuff with a nice bead not bad nice metal work there :-)
thank you!
Tell me about it!! A good caulk gun is vital as well
PL30 (Polyurathane Roofing Cement) would have filled in those gaps for you and no need to spend time grinding it down.
13:20 F for the pencil, boys
Bro...nothing worse than your pencil falling outta your hat onto the ground when you’re trying to get stuff done 😂
Hey i recognize that chimney. I've gotta say this turned out amazing. could not have asked for a better job.
thanks bud! had fun playing golf too we'll have to do it again soon
@@NWIVeteranConstruction sure thing. I'm gonna fix that chimney top. Maybe ill make a video....
Great timing, I'm about to have to do one like this myself. I had the basic idea but some great tips here.
Also I think every roofer should know that you need to spit on your fingers before touching your caulk
Actually you should not touch, you will remove some of the chemicals
I think the gripping fold causes a hassle because once the unit is pushed in the groove of the stone for adjustments it can't be pulled out easily. I have seen a video where installers left that edge straight, made all the measurement and adjustments they need, where after placing the unit in place wedged it with a folded up line of strip of sheet metal at 5 or so places and that was that.
The small grinder with the big blade scares me too I’m a mason and do shit like that all the time. The cool part is a diamond blade is more like a burn than a cut I got the scars to prove it lol flashing job looks awesome!! Keep up the good work
Lmfao that's awesome bro! Keep up the good work as well
One thing I learned, if you use it with the blade up you see your line better and always cut from top down on left side and bottom up on right will keep the blade from binding, and it kicks the dust away from you. "Live Roof Play"... asphalt life 😉👊
F’ing great job. Nice to see a crew crew do a great job and have fun doing it.
What a beauty ! This guy knows what the fuck he’s doing!
thanks bud
Keep a thin paint brush to brush out the joint first ,then caulk the joint before you install the metal. Install the metal. Then buy a 3/8" caulk knife at a commercial caulk store and you wont get it on your finger nor rake the crap out of your finger.
Great comment thank you
What a pro… all skill and patient ,to this I say BRAVO!
thank ya ma'am i appreciate that!
Put a huge bead of geocell around the base of that rocky chimney. Flash out laterally 8-12” like you would a valley. Matching those infinite crevices is a lost labor.
Was that coil stock? 🤔 I like the 2" rigglet into the stone and I've always preferred using a one piece system over the two piece wall and counter. Saves valuable time in the heat plus no chance of wash over on backside. I prefer to use a 26g metal due to our roofers around here suck and will destroy anything thinner. Just curious to cost of labor and materials you getting for a job like that on a standard 6/12 pitch?
Is that aluminum or metal? What gauge? How thick of a blade do you need to make that work how you got the lines at every side and every corner matching up at the same height from roof deck?
Good job on that counter flashing. I done my share of those also. Never had to use a grinder like that thou. Looked dangerous. As a roofer for 40 yrs I gave you an A+. If my opinion means anything to you, lol. All I did was repairs like this and worked by myself. Here in tx. Seeing your vid. Makes me want to get back into roofing. Had some good times.
lol you're not the first to say that. thanks but i'm almost ashamed i make others want to get back into this lmao i make it fun, but it doesn't your people will
Excellent video of something difficult. thanks
Yea honestly I was asking around how to do a chimney like that. Nobody had a great answer so I did it my way
Nice work. I do em the same way. Thanks for not doing it like a hack and tap conning it brick and then just caulking it. I see so many chimneys done totally wrong
If your relying on caulking then you’re doing it wrong ya know.
exactly. with that little lip on it to hold caulk lol
We are in the business of vandalism. Lol
Great flashing work.
I think they have a spoon the spread caulking .
Good work .
Nice work I really like how you went about doing all that those stone chimneys suck looks really good
Ray or Stevie cut that. Lol. Kidding. Looks great. Don’t you hate it when you come across a new roof( usually through leak calls) and the last roofer does not flash with such attention You guys are great. Great video.
Very helpful video! I am going to go replicate this process!
Right on
Great work, and funny too !!
I don’t know if you’ll see this since the video is so old but invest in a $25 Marson Rivet Gun on Amazon. Way easier to drive those rivers in then the one you’re using.
i'll check it out thanks!
A speed square and a nice pair of snips will save you from having to get off the roof, hoof it to the break, measure and slice, and get back up. You could get your measurement of 1 3/4, speed square a flat line across the piece and be installing it before you would have hit the bottom of the ladder! You seem really good at scoring with the knife too, and that is even faster than snips - if you trust your hands :P
Edit: wrote that out before I knew you were hemming the piece. In this case. you would have had to come down anyways.
So this obviously wasn’t the way it was done in the first place. What was the old method of leak proofing something like this?
Great Job, Zack. Love the added comedy.
Glad you enjoyed it
very nice man! we come across funky chimneys like this all the time!...you couldn't have done it better! i would have done it the same EXACT way you handled it!...great work! can you do more technical videos like this?
yes i plan on it! this channel shouldn't be known as a roofing channel before long. this will go down as one of the greatest exterior remodeling channels of all time
Zack, now that was a good looking job, complicated I'm proud of you good video.
Thanks 👍
I need to do this exact thing to my stone chimney but I dont have a break.
Call a gutter guy and have him bend the pieces for you.
Looks great but what happens when the shingles get redone in 20 or 25 years. Is that reusable or do they have to start all over .
If the guys tearing off the roof are careful it should absolutely be reusable 👍🏽
If there’s an existing one that is embedded in a stucco chimney and we put in new shingles, does that flashing normally get replaced?
You fellas didn't have a drop cloth to throw down on those shingles?
U should have mucked n taped it then shingle rt on top if concern was watertite as for aesthetics i would just nip n tuck roof bend n clear silicone
Excellent job !
Thank you for serving hoss
Why the hell aren't you guys protecting the brand new roof you just put down? Trashed the hell out of those shingles
They were washed afterwards. It all came off with no staining luckily. Good point tho we should've.
i never bother. it comes off too easy. i prefer to do the grinding before shingles if at all possible but shits been a mess lately.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction gotcha. I know sometimes with heavy foot traffic the granules can get wore off pretty easily and cause heavy damage to the shingles so thats why I was wondering. Nice flashing job👍
@@NWIVeteranConstruction im also thinking of 8/12 to 12/12 roofs so that also makes a big difference with shingle wear
Would have been way easier to flash chimney first, then install counter flashing. Would've looked way better too
Another great video! I'm shocked. I figured you be out of good material by now! LOL..... NICE JOB, BROTHA!
haha! bro i'll never be out i'm always learning. if i'm always learning they'll always be something to teach
or at least do some entertaining at a minimum
Came out lookin great!!!
Shingles need cut back on saddle to allow water to run off and I noticed you cut out the video of how you must have used caulking on the top corner,I wouldn't have used coil stock for chimney flashing and would have blown out the dust and used mortar to fill the joint.
Looks good. Little tip for you quad makes an aerosol foam gun cleaner it's basically acetone it'll clean the caulk off your finger and you can use it to clean out your grinder joint before caulking
oh really? i'll look into that. i just dump gas on my hands lol
That's what I did too for years. Wife got tired of me smelling terrible lol. Love all the videos you've definatly made me a more efficient shingler when I have to get up there
Looking good man Great job as usual
This video reminded me why I subscribed. 👍
Iv done that with a small grinder before , scary as hell 🤣, theo von says some mad shit ! king it or sting it
kats bro hell yea! always watching that shit
Tim is like why you do dis
Flashing looks nice and professional. I just had my 30 square roof replaced 4 days ago. Contractor never even replaced any flashing around my chimney. Looks hideous, they used old existing flashing and I hate it. Now I'm going to have to hire another contractor to come back and flash it properly. 😠
Awe dang lol he wouldn't do it or?
The boss didn't stay long, after I paid him he left. The remaining crew didn't speak english. I never imagined they'd re-use the old flashing.
Looks really good!
I know this is a little late but osi and geocell self level. Keep ya fingers out of it. Also I always use clear. You did I nice job on the counter flashing, no since in making it look bad with caulk that is colored.
Good job , looks great , keep the videos coming brother
plan on it. hopefully they only get better
Zack, beautiful job my friend. There are a lot of good tips in this video for anyone who doesn't know how to do that. It could really stump a newb. I'd like to see Mr. Dimitri try and do that himself. I'm sure his subs could do it but him? Lol. Anyway man, you really do give out some good knowledge for us to use. I've been in the trade since '01 and I still have learned some stuff. Everyone has there own way and it's great to see other ways of doing things. Peace!
awesome brotha thanks
I do chimneys all the time. Don’t let these hacks say that them do them faster. It’s probably because their quality is shit.
true that
Bro that looked hella good
Inside of that crappy siding brake you should get a wuko bender. Only bad part that you need a table lol 😆and instead of face nails on the apron. You should make 1" wide strips 6" long. Nail the strip under the apron.White side facing up. Leave about 1" past the apron and fold the tab onto the apron. Probably one strip on each side of the apron. Leaving no face nails on the apron. Just a suggestion not trying to tell you what to do.
i saw a guy do it right after i did this but instead of the face nails he put on that little half inch bend that goes down to the roof
I have same grinder I was grinding hardcore grinds dude I went along and I felt a webble wobbles in my wheels which are little wheels and flipped up twisted in a sideways kinda motion twisting up hurling to the right landed and shook as it spun out spinning
Its crews like this that keep us busy. Gross ignorance; stick to siding and gutters and leave the masonry to masons.
Put a little wd40 on your fingers and the coulk won't stick to your fingers .
yea afterwards right? i don't think it would do too well mixing it with the caulk itself while smoothing it
Ahh just keep licking it finger
Don't use wd40 it will eat the caulk quad is polyurethane based wd40 eats it and changes the chemical make up
@FoxRcng708 it sticks through water you can apply quad on a, wet substrate it will just stick too the sponge
@@NWIVeteranConstruction dw40 is, bad for quad soap and water or spit is best option I'm certified bye osi in useing there products trust me :-)
Some nice metal work.not many people can do that
Nice man
Henry Wet Patch would’ve flashed that chimney perfectly! It would get into all those nooks and crannies. Plus it would last 100 years!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Great job👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful. You guys from Delco??
indiana
Cordless leaf blower 👍
they're the bomb
Great video and nice job!
Thank you
Here is my question. How did the first roof find waterproofing around the chimney without a groove for counterflashing? That metal is pretty. I appreciate the time you spent. I think in 35 years folk will be instructing cubs to save that metal.
oh dude they didn't have any flashing. they just tarred the shingles to the edge lol
Love your videos bro, very informative and great content. What model - make of brake are you using? I am 60 years old and still consider myself a student of the trade - always looking and trying to learn to better equip myself as a tradesman of the trade.
Nice work👌👍👍💪
Really nice job on that flashing for the stone chimney, homeowner should be very happy with that.
Thank you
Love the constant name changes on this channel lol
haha i think this one will stay sorry for the confusion
Veteran Construction haha I always knew who it was when I put the video on I do hvac and am obsessed with construction videos always love to learn something new
Nice job as usual , just dont get caulky lol , gimme a call lets do some new videos
how'd i know you would see this lmao everytime i even think about you
I'm about to break! Everything you say to me!!!!
RIP Chester
@@kylekoverola8654 dude I never understand what you're saying lol. I can't tell if you like watching us, if you're a hater or just trolling or always on mushrooms
Wtf wow fan or fow we will never know
Veteran Construction lmfaoooo
I fucking love it 😂😂😂😂🇺🇸
My question is how do you pay your guys? Hourly? Or by the job? Seems like a lot of manpower just kinda hanging out. But it is excellent work. Looks great
Looks great!
Thanks!
At 35:12 Detail, At the final end. I know the customer didn't ask is it part of the job, Top of the fireplace, It's Gray or blue, why did you make it Brown too like you did at the bottom??? If I was the customer I would have paid you to do it too. BUT, I'M NOT THE CUSTOMER!!!!🤑🤑😷🤑🤑🤙💯
IT'S ALREADY HOLDING WATER 💧 💧
we talked about it. thats not my thing. i told him, not only is it holding water, but its also short on the sides. you can see wood below it
Gotta pay more attention - lol I just reviewed the video and saw brake type Tapco pro 19
Beautiful work
Thank you
Man with that flash job they should really think about calling me in to do a nice chimney cap to really bring it all in with the sweetness! :D> Because that tin cap crap has got to go!!! :/
How do I hire you to do my fireplace?
