HOW TO REFLASH A SKYLIGHT LIKE A PRO 

Called step-flashing. Which I don't understand why isn't standard practice

Exactly... I can't fucking stand seeing these dumbasses acting like they fucking know

Why would you want step flashing vs. one piece? I come from commercial side of roofing and have only experience with metal roofs, but that looks better then step flashing Iv seen done.

@@morehp1 I think because water will inevitably get underneath the shingles along the wall, the step flashing will keep bringing the under-shingle water to the surface before it spread sideways so far that it's already flow off the side edge of the flashing but still underneath the shingles.

He did it wrong! He should have used step flashing, not one long piece of L-metal, which is going to leak!

in the business of staying in business perhaps?

He put an ice-dam under the flashing that drains onto the top of shingles below the window. It's less labor intensive than the step-flashing approach, more costly, because the ice-dam is really expensive but the method is just as effective. I would not have run the ice dam on top of the curb for energy efficiency, but it'll work for keeping the roof dry and the window sealed.

How do you step flash a metal roof?😅

Horrible technique. He should have used steps.

The one pc works great when it has an open hem on the outer edge of the metal

You can't beat the quality of step flashing technique period...

mutante 77 not true. Just another old fashioned opinion

@@qualityleafguardsguards7978 so wait you're tying to say that when you're shingling against a wall that's 30ft long, it's better to use one long piece of L flashing rather than step flashing? Get out of here. Step flashing is the best way to water tight a side wall and skylight. Water flows downwards yes, but it also has the chance to flow sideways a few inches every half foot or so. That's literally why there's a 6+ inch book, no nails within 4 inches of a seam. Felt or synthetic is to be put on horizontalally at the eaves then continues upwards with a 3" overlap. Etc etc. Don't go commenting on something G that you don't have a clue on how it works.

Kwmuntis Builds Not true, even though a lot of roofers think that . However the one pc works great but only recommended with an open hem on the sides

@@qualityleafguardsguards7978 Stop misleading people. like holy crap.

U should put in the time in the video so we know exactly your question, but I think the answer is Step Flashing, also there are kits for specific skylight that also come with counter flashing, should come with new skylight. Edit: wow they used one piece row flashing, I think they use roof cement to stop water from going under, would like to see this hold up, I think step flashing will hold up better

Meant step flashing.

Agreed. That was my point as referenced above. Why no step vs. a long section. I it won't leak at the skylight, but the lack of step isn't directing the water back on top of the lower shingles which isn't preferred in my opinion.

Thank you. I think that Joe has some sort of defect between the ears. Sounds like you know your stuff backwards and forwards. What area of the country do you work out of?

Early on it was clipped to a long length of loose rope, then later unclipped - either way, it would not arrest his fall in the slghtest! He'd get fined if caught not obeying the safety expectations in the EU !

Pretty specific for stsndsrd measurment of that skylight

William Smith why are you a troll?

You are "troll" because you obviously didn't listen to the video and what the video is about. typical "know it all." you are the guy everyone stays away from because you have all the answers. Now go re-watch the video jackass.

Why does a simple question make me a "troll"?

William Smith you actually keep making yourself look like a bigger troll. You are the smartest man in the world for you awesome roof knowledge. Keep at it troll!

Dude I don’t care about the video at this point. You talk about adding content, yet you troll someone who is putting out content. Let the guy do his job and you do yours. You are a clown. Plain and simple. I am done with you and your silly responses about my intelligence. I forgot more then you will ever understand. So go fuck yourself. 🖕

I don’t know why ! but, Ilike the one piece than that the step pieces.

@@scottvan1898 what about both conbine

@@scottvan1898 you can add it over top of step flashed system for the look

Kyle Koverola 👍👍👍

This type of skylight can leak over time, but if the roof has the proper pitch its pretty rare, typically what happens is these types of roofers do incorrect installs and thats what causes most issues.

The actual skylight can leak, usually due to a defect in the skylight, rubber gaskets aren't installed correctly. But whenever a roofer inspects a roof for a leak call, you can usually notice if it's a skylight defect

@@Josh-ww5kz it usually is an issue of improper gasket install, seen this 15 or 16 times on brand new skylight installs.

Si yo pense iba a ha hacer step flash para los shingles

Not true. You do realize how much better a piece of step flashing is per shingle right? For one. If water runs along that wall flashing and diverts out, bam right then and there it's under the shingles and hitting the underlayment. With step, it overlaps the shingle beneath it in a way that makes it so water has a low chance of actually doing that. And to make it worse. Its highly likely that he trimmed the corners of the shingle going against the curb. Water will catch that corner and run along it going underneath the shingle and hitting the nails. Won't leak soon but after a few days or weeks it will rust the nail out, then damage the sheething and cause leaks inside the house. Not to mention the mould that will start to grow because of the water. But I mean you're clearly a gutter guard installer so I wouldn't think that you'd know how water and shingle roofing works.

I Would never reuse they breake when taking them off

If you're careful enough, and the shingles are still in great condition, you could reuse them, to avoid having mismatched shingles especially on 2+year old roofs. Im sure you've noticed roofs that have different coloured shingles in some areas, but that's due to a leak or blowoffs. You just have to make sure you seal the nail holes on the shingle with roofing tar after you install them. Then put a few blobs of the same stuff to reseal the shingle down

Mario Robles what part of California are you servicing? I just bought a house & may need someone that knows what they are doing.

I was waiting for someone to say this. These guys are hacks. Water has to always run onto something. That's why each shingle should have its own flashing. That skylight is made for lower pitch applications not shingles

@@gradywhite9781 yub your right

@@mariorobles379 the waters gonna catch the top of the shingle and leak a few feet down from and across where he put the ice shield. Mario you don't have to worry about stuff freezing around there but I do and this job is going to have ice problems

cleandiaper no step means. Big leaks ....take it from a real G
