However the principles are the s.
Replace roof flashing between house and porch. In all cases make sure to detail the flashing membrane so that it sheds water. Install some riser brackets for more height. Try to keep the nails as flush as possible to the edges. Pry and lift off the flashing.
The edge of the roof has thin metal flashing that helps water drip off the roof without damaging the home or causing a leak. It should tuck under the sheathing wrap above and over the flashing below. Where an attached backyard deck meets the house. 4 inches should go up the house wall and 4 inches should go on top of the porch roof shingles.
Open valleys have metal flashing to protect this critical area of the roof. Position a new vent pipe flashing over the vent push it down into place and nail where shingles will cover it. Here is a guide on how to install lead flashing to your roof. Then caulk the nail heads.
Replace the shingles and cover the nail heads with roofing cement. Most flashing is 8 inches wide. Nail the flashing securely in place using roofing nails. Fit the flashing in place caulk the top edge and nail it with galvanized nails long enough to penetrate at least 1 inch into the structural members.
Step flashing is installed in conjunction with shingling the porch roof. Place the flashing between the joint of the house and the roof. While some skylight manufacturers include flashing in their products sometimes roofing professionals have to create it or purchase it separately. Each flashing job is a little bit different and depends on the type of material that the exterior of your house is made of.
To replace flashing around the vent pipe first remove the shingles covering the flange at the back and sides. It may be quite a labor but it pays off with a strong roof. If you wish to reach a specific height you can lift the roof of the patio with some riser brackets. If the house is sided with shingles or lap siding simply slip the metal s top edge up under the bottom edge of the shingles or siding as far as possible.
Use the metal break tool to bend the flashing lengthwise in the middle according to the angle of the roof joint. Under the eaves of a roof with little overhang and no gutters. Because the gutter is removed you will need to install transfer flashing from the roof of the house to the patio. Above a lower roof where it abuts the wall.
Pull or cut off any nails. Siding on the lower portion of the house wall that meets the porch addition must be removed prior to flashing. Step 6 make a 10 degree bend on the shingle edge of the flashing approximately 1 2 inch from the edge. The flashing on the wall should be flush against it and the porch roof portion should be on top of the shingles.
