Chimney Counter Flashing - Shingle Roof
Вставка

- Hello!
Welcome to Schoen Roofing UA-cam Channel!
In this video we show how to install counter flashing for a chimney detail on a shingle roof.
I have seen many different ways of bending and installing this flashing. There are many methods that do not work! This is why a chimney can be a highly potential leak area. Our method brings all water past the chimney and step flashings which in our opinion is the best method for water management.
If you enjoy the video please share with someone who might find it helpful or entertaining.
Thank you for your support and enjoy!

Like a glove! Nice to see a true craftsman putting his skills to work. So many scams out there unfortunately.
Bad ass flashing work. Hopefully the stucco guys don't jack up your fine work there.
Ahhhhh stucco guys. lol. Thanks for the comment.
Good job.tanks for teaching
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.
Looks great. I would like to see how the Siding is detailed at the corner. If this was cap flashing on a brick chimney I get it.
This is what we were asked to do. Not sure how it was going to be finished.
What about outside corner siding to place it on top of the roof
So the extra metal is on corners way
You can easily slit the corner post to go around the metal at the corner. Thanks for the comment.
I always go to the comments on these videos, that's where the REAL pro's can be found 😂
I usually flash my chimneys with galvanized sheet metal and solder the seams, but I've flashed many chimneys with coil stock as well in my roofing career, I've worked at big roofing companies where guys would swear you can't flash a chimney with coil stock, and make it water tight😑
If i flash a chimney, and I put my name on it, and i warranty my work, ( i warranty my work for 3 years, the materials speak for themselves) but if i flash a chimney and say it's done and not going to leak, then you can bet your bottom dollar, it's done and it's not gonna leak..
You got some nice crisp clean bends on that front apron, i watched a video of a guy doing this yesterday and man i swear he didn't hem the front apron and it looked like he cut his metal with a straight razor and a hammer 😂😂😂
Yours looks really nice tho brother, 👏👏👏
Really appreciate the time you took to write this. Means a lot.
only 3 years 😂
Always a 15 year labor guarantee and I've never had a chimney leak in my career which spans several decades. But I have a couple extra tricks involving back caulk which makes it bulletproof
@@Fathervinyard partner if it hasn't leaked in 3 years, it ain't leaking. I don't warranty the materials, that's on the manufacturer. .
You put that little laugh emoji like what you said was funny, I bet you crack yourself up all the time huh?
Keep laughing budro, I'll keep getting the thousands of dollars I earn every week because people are ringing my phone off the hook everyday to book me to do their work
That triangle tab you tucked creates a leak no? Water that runs down the backside of that runs behind the flashing since you tucked it “behind” the step flashing..
Thanks for the question. The step flashing is considered the "dump" flashing and should let water out either onto a shingle or in this case the front pan "apron" flashing. When we tuck the bottom and side behind the step flashing we ensure any water that may enter has no obstruction on the way out. Others may do it differently but this is our method.
probably I never do this but looks awesome
lol. Thanks. Appreciate it.
Clean work i probably would have used a flexible corned just for shits and gigs or atleast bend another step flashing up from the bottom..good way to do it on a brick chimney if its getting sidding id probably do it a little different 👍..its always constructive to see other peoples techniques
I have seen those flex corners but can't seem to find them around here. Do you know who makes them?
Great Job, however the long piece going up the chimney side you put the triangle bend behind the step flashing when you slid it up....couldn't rain water run down that bent triangle and then now it's behind the step flashing?
Either way is ok. That is the one "pin hole" that needs caulking. I put it behind so it hides the shiny step flashing from the ground. Good question.
Its not like the rains gonna go down the metal & then back up it lol, itll drip off the end of the triangle not follow it back up behind the flashing like you were thinking...
Sos Grande hermano,😮te felicito ese es un trabajo hermoso,
Thank you Good Sir!
Great job , nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
So does that caulk last the 30 year life of the roof or does the sun dry it out crack and shrink it
Depending on sun exposure. This caulking can last the life of the roof. It’s good shit.
Ustedes los gringos son muy profesionales
Excellent work! Question… if you were flashing a dormer, would you do it the same way?
That is correct.
@@schoenroofing excellent! Thanks for the reply 😊
Don't ever flash side wall like this water gets trapped under the metal never dries out rotting the shingles out plus makes it a nightmare for the next roofer who reroofs it, double hem bottom with a kick is the best way, also if siding is going on the chimney side wall doesn't even need the metal over flashing cards
@@guitardedimbisol6087.
That's the problem I have on the regular. That side wall flashing isn't necessary, and the next roofer is cutting it at the bend so he can get the shingles and nails out. 😢😢😢
Great video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Whats the name of the black flashing I love to start using that instead of the 1/2x5
We bend these flashings ourselves. The coils of aluminum are 24” x 100’.
Nice work. What brand are those blue snips??
I believe they are Malco
What was the point of counterflashing the step on this application other than someone's personal asthetic preference?
It serves no practical purpose whatsoever since the step would have been countered by the material used to side the chimney anyway.
Asthetics. lol. you are correct sir.
I admire your skill with chimney flashings. Most of all, I love your modest, straight-forward honesty. You're obviously a man of great character.@@schoenroofing
@@Joseph710052 appreciate the kind words. ❤️
great job. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
What is that sheet metal bending tool you have there? What's that called?
Some call them hand seamers or just metal benders. The brand we can get here is prime grip. They have a lot on their website.
Why the counter flashing if it’s getting siding? Why bury the tins under the counter flashing so you can’t get to them when you have to do the roof someday.
What the contractor wanted. I understand the hassle when it comes to reroofing.
Watching the off colored nail go in the peak hurt my soul. Some good concepts that I never thought of tho.
Thanks for the comment! That nail will be covered by the ridge cap so no need to worry.
Blue snips! Where can I get those mate? Asking from Australia. Me wantie!!!!!!!
I got these from our metal supplier. I believe they are a Malco product. They are setup the same as red snips.
They are made to cut stainless
Kick ass. Next time mention that you use Canadian made supra expert owned by ppg. Woohoo
lol Will do! Best out there.
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Supposed to do the roof to wall before step flashing , would have been way easier
Not sure what that means but this is the proper procedure for our company.
Looks nice, but in 25 years when someone has to reflash that chimney. They're gonna probably destroy your counter flashing and use chim-5
It’s possible. 25 years from now I want to be living on an island and not thinking about roofing 😎
So... Job accomplished? Sure better than it being done wrong and failing in 2.5 while your still liable.
8:30 please make better cuts
That's a very bad example of flashing with no soldered corners. Before all these want to be roofers of today the old timers used to fab flashing as he did in this video and solder it at the crucial points to last longer than the next re roof. Setting a bad example here so it will continue to be done the wrong/easy way unlike a real craftsman should do.
Solder aluminum? lol. This is an excellent example of how to flash a chimney style penetration. Enjoy retirement.
Why the hell would you caulk the flashing at the overlap at the bottom? Youre now closing off any chance of air getting in there and a sideways driving rain will now get stuck between fhat and the step flash.
Also of any safety officer in your area sees this, theyll hand you a ticket for improper tying off. That roof bracket is to be nailed down using the certified nails or certified screws on both sides of the ridge with every hole fastened that runs down a rafter.
You can try saying you were safe, but those washers on fhose weather tights arent going to cut it
What? Batmans Dad, spend your time being a better dad and not making stupid comments on good instructional videos.
@@schoenroofing bahahahahah it took you this long to respond. The butthurt is strong in you.
😂😂😂 you should see the nails they used on pump jacks this is not a safety video move on
