9. Improper flashing installation

Metal flashings need to be installed around chimneys, skylights and in valleys or close to wall. Chimney flashings prevent leaks around the chimney and must always be placed under the shingles. Side wall flashings or step flashings must be covered with appropriate counter flashings.

Solution:

When flashings are poorly installed, pop up the nails and slide a new flashing under the shingles. Secure new flashing and shingles with Shingle Stick. Don’t forget about counter flashing!

10. Reusing old flashing

When replacing an existing roof, the old flashing may look serviceable, but there is always the possibility that it has been punctured or damaged. New flashings are a small component in the cost of a roof replacement. Always install new flashings.

Solution:

If they are free of exposed holes and are not damaged, copper and aluminum flashings are not necessary to change. All others should be replaced.
