THE BEST WAY TO INSTALL THE BEAUTY ROW OF SHINGLES

- Many homes are left with an unsightly headwall flashing where at best the painter or homeowner will paint this flashing to camouflage it. I think we have a better way to install headwall flashing. We would like to recommend to roofers, builders and homeowner's to consider installing a shingle beauty strip on top of the flashing.
In this video you'll find the best way to install the beauty strip. One of the ways is to storm nail the beauty strip, however you'll find that a way to install this strip without storm nailing. Take a look and we will show you how.

Do not run a solid line of caulking on your beauty strip. You want water to escape. Leave gaps every few inches, especially in colder climates with freezing and thawing cycles. Imagine water running off the sheathing under the siding, the. Hitting ice built up right at the angle change of the metal flashing, it could start running back up underneath the sheathing.
The presentation of "beauty shingles" is great but the demonstration of how to do it is absolutely 100% wrong in this video. Your video demonstrates the roofer putting a solid bead of roofing cement down to hold the shingles which in effect prevents water from escaping, which is the entire point of the flashing. The proper way to do this would be to do several beads of caulk in an upside down U formation with gaps between each upside down U bead formation so that water has a way of draining.
Glad I read the comment , thanks a lot for the upside down U info.
Also, those nails are penetrating the flashing... which defeats the purpose..
You guys making the negative comments are crazy. As a custom home builder for 37 years we have always done "beauty shingle" and it looks great.
If condensation came down the wall on the vapor barrier and onto the flashing . The cement would trap the water under that top shingle. other than that it looks great.
Beauty strip is only by opinion a needed thing, I learned a good trick from watching this video if I am ever asked to do one but personally I prefer the look of the counter flashing, almost like a trim piece.
Thank you. I am just making a fancy Chicken Condo, I know not the same as a house but I still shingled it and is has a face wall. I watched a lot of videos that covered the "wall" shingles but I think for my needs this is perfect. You make it look so easy.
mind blown ive never seen it nailed like that i love it!!!!
Great video, just had my roof done and they let the metal exposed, trying to get them back here to finish the job. Thanks
Wow! He went all out with that black caulking.
Perfect 👌 exactly what I was looking for
When you nail the flashing, the water will enter underneath the top shingle and then finds its way to the house through those nail entries
Never thought of doing that!
I notice my GAF Timberline has pretty strong laminating glue, they call Duragrip. But you can heat up a knife with a torch and separate the tab to put a nail, better than damaging the shingle.
Looks much nicer than the ugly flashing. Need to show this to my contractor!
Good,beautiful and clean job performed by a hard working latino.
That's racist.
Good work fellas
I've always thought that headwall flashing works best with no nails going through the roof deck. They say not to depend on blackjack to hold water out but that's what's happening when you apply a beauty strip. I make sure to use a color that blends with roof and no dents or bends. I then install over the last row with a good bead of bj under the flashing. You can barely tell the metal is there unless your looking closely. Is this a bad practice? Is the beauty strip purely for looks I'm assuming? Id prefer function over aesthetics so long as it's not ugly
That's nice work
Nice work
What type of sealant did you put under shingle?
So if water was blown up towards the siding and dripped down on the flashing, that water would puddle up behind the row of sealant...wouldn't it? The whole point of the flashing being over that single is for the water to drain out on top of the next row. I'm not a roofer so what the heck do I know.
You are right. You never want a solid strip of sealant like that. Although, I like the other attributes shown here. Quality control is tough when they don't do their own work. These are all subs.
Just hitting the nail heads with caulk is all that needs to be done water will pool just like you guys mentioned
sure will, and it will eventually dry off too. But water can grow mold and could freeze there. Just dont bother with the caulk, or use a dab every 6 inches. I just think it is a waste of caulk doing this. This roofer is likely worried the beauty shingle will fly off in a wind and he will be blamed.
Should caulk or cement every where you put a nail through that flashing though in my professional opinion. Water will find that in a powerful storm over time is why or even sooner with a good storm
Thank u so much I needed this so i can do my my place
What’s the point? I believe the counter flashing is a nice change up of material and color… this is not needed and it looks like it would cause problems
Water needs to run down the flashing, not be stopped and backed up because it a thick bead of roofing cement under the shingle is preventing it from flowing down.
I don't know too much about Roofing but the white trimming on top of the end wall flashing would be where the water is rolling off on top of the shingles passing over the cement..
The white trim is where the water should run in a perfect world, although if there is a failure above that point at say a window n water gets behind the siding on the house wrap it will be come out behind the trim on the flashing. That is when the bead of sealant would become a possible issue. Best practice would be 2inch strips with 2 inch spaces so water can escape
Very helpful thank you, I don't know how you'd be able to hide the nails if you just have a three-step shingle though?
If you have a three tab shingle forget the beauty strip. It is not Necessary.
Thanks i was wondering how to do it!
Wind blown water will go under the top of that strip, run down, and through the nail holes
Beauty! Thx!
I will keep looking for a video showing the CORRECT way to do roof flashing, because this is not IT.
The flashing should direct water to the top of the shingles
Terminights
I did this on my house, but dont do the caulk it is not worth it. The nails will hold it fine.
Just caulk nail heads on old flashing cut back to smaller exposer and bend custom beauty new flashing matching roof color over the ugly stuff, it's a way more professional looking job
Wrong way..my friend...small strip of shingles..not good;)
Incorrect. A beauty strip is partially cosmetic as well as protection for the flashing and its nails. The flashing that it covers is used to create the protection needed at the wall abutment. Many roofers will cut corners and leave this flashing exposed nails included which can cause leaks and rusty nails. When done correctly, tar or roofing cement is then used in order to provide the best protection possible. These guys did a good job.
@@roberthazelton8824 Wall flashing should always be ontop of the last row of shingles.
What do you think happens when water runs down the siding and behind the last course of shingles? It doesn't just disappear. It puddles behind that thick cement blob and sits there until the temptature drops to freezing and it forms into ice, and cracks the roofing cement, and continues to do so many, many times. Eventually it gets to the nail heads and causes a leak.
I've seen this happen personally as I've been roofing for over 5 years now.
Proper way is to install new wall flashing, a colour similar to the shingles but also compliments to siding colour. Overtop of the last course of shingles and tucked behind the siding. Then using neoprene washered screws to hold the wall flashing down if its a long piece. Could even go as far to mark where you're putting the screw then putting a small blob of caulking on the underside, then putting the screw directly through the cement from the top side.
It's not cutting corners leaving the flashing exposed, it's the correct way to code. Now using nails isn't the best method as you'd be putting caulking on the nail heads that would need to be replaced every 1-5 years because the sun's uv rays will degrade the caulking causing it to crack.
Needs a better transition that lil tiny shingle under the metal looks like poop 💩
Just do it right and us roof to wall metal like a real roofer would. That's just cheesy.
Never seen that done loojs ugly
