Installing Roof Flushing

Add the drip edge.

Installing roof flushing.

Flashing is installed to surround roof features such as vents chimneys and skylights. Install the starter course. Start with the ice barrier. Install the step flashing.

Step flashing step flashing redirects the water back onto the shingle. Continuous flashing against a sidewall is one way to install a roof but it s not the correct way. Step flashing for chimneys once the shingles have been installed lay the base flashing around the base of the chimney approximately 4 past each end. Water should run down the side of the flashing and be directed to the shingles instead of finding its way into the roof deck.

In climate zones prone to ice damming code requires that a self adhering ice barrier membrane be applied directly. Installing your roof flashing is going to be slightly different depending on the specific type that you re installing.
