Flashing on a shingle roof.

Secure a shingle over the corner flashing using a hammer and roofing nail. Remove the metal flashing. Use caution so you don t damage any windows or siding in the process. Step flashing protects the gap where roofs meet walls by weaving into the roof shingles.

This drip edge flashing provides protection from water damage along the eaves and rake of a roof. Install your underlayment completely and your shingles up to where the wall begins so that the first piece of flashing or the corner flashing will rest on a shingle. Begin by removing the shingles using a roofing shovel. Hammer 2 roofing nails into the flashing and roof.

Bring a trash can up on the roof so you have a place to throw old shingles and flashing. Does the drip edge metal go under the tarpaper ice and water shield or underlayment on the eave. The extra kick at the bottom of the face directs run off away from the structure. At the bottom of the roof water needs to be directed.

Rain should run off the roof and into the gutter. Secure a shingle over the second piece of flashing with a nail. The flashing should partially overlap the shingle that covers the first piece of flashing. Get the real story about drip edge placement.

To make corner flashing take your tin snips and cut a 45 degree line from an outside corner to the center fold. You can keep any flashing that is in good shape but we recommend replacing it all with new flashing. Place a second piece of 8 inch 20 3 cm flashing against the chimney.
