Need advise.

[Jorge L. Chalgub]

I have a question about flashing. Maybe you guys can help me.
I am a new inspector, and I was doing a mock inspection on my house and saw what I assumed it was a "rubber flashing"? Do they make rubber or plastic flashing? It was in the valley of 2 roof sections and when I slightly lifted the shingles to look under. It looked rubber...and I'm almost sure it was not tar what I saw. The house is only 5 yrs old so I thought maybe it was rubber or plastic.

That would make sense as Jorge is in Delaware.

With that being said...

Jorge, do you have just the one website that is in your profile, or do you have another "independant" site? I think you will find the one in your profile is going to stir up a ruckus on the MB here. I really see no easy way to correct this on that site...

Don't worry Jorge as no one at head office is checking to ensure that this rule is followed.....in reality, this is a sales website for a couple of brothers ........and some others!

Which is why I gave Jorge the 'heads up'. Most new members don't realize the seriousness of this requirement.

If he had a "regular" website, it is easy. Add the Nachi logo, or remove the 'other' logo. This site is provided by the 'other' association and heavily populated with their 'stuff'. His only alternatives are to abandon his current site and get an independant site that he can control the content, or leave Nachi.

Sux starting a new biz, but, this is biz, and you either roll with the punches, or get flattened.

Don't get me wrong Jorge. We want you as a member, and we want you to be the best inspector you can be. This is just one of many hurdles you can look forward to in this "glamorous" profession!

BTW... if Jorge had completely filled out his profile, I wouldn't have had to go search for his location, and it may have taken a lot longer for this to come to the surface. So... let this be a lesson to all you that haven't filled out your profiles completely!

There are many here now that refuse to put the logo on their site and they are still a member. I am sure that one of them will be along shortly to voice in on this thread.

Thanks Greg
Can you show me where it states a member must have a NACHI logo on their web site .
The way I read it is that they must have a NACHI logo as big as other associations logo .

You are correct Roy, except "equal prominence" is not the same as "logo as big as".

Example... If you write a page expounding the virtues of XYZ Association that you are a member of, you must do the same for Nachi.

rubber membranes used as valley flashing is acceptable in some states. You might want to check with your local code officials. (just don't tell them what the address is in case they don't allow it where you live)

Thanks Aubrey for finally giving Gorge a possible answer to his question

[Aubrey J. Kahn]

That's what the message boards are all about, helping each other. I learn something new almost every time I am on the boards, and don't worry about the unrelated comments on the boards it happens. Sometimes the thread gets hijacked (not intentionally), it happens and I have be the culprit more than once. It is part of the fun here.

[Jorge L. Chalgub]

Well actually, the question had nothing to do with logos or website...the original questions was about roof flashings. But, since it was mentioned...I did included interNACHI's logo in it, and you may notice I have an under constructin sign in the website. I have also included their logo in all my letterheads, business card, brochures and in my reports. I was not aware of this rule how ever I did add them because I am not only proud of being a member, but I am also greatfull for all the help I have received from them. Now, about the original question. any takers?

Ps.Thanks Russel and Aubrey, I guess I miss understood thinking they had to be metal only. I will check with my local zoning, and no I won't give them my address just in case...lol. Oh, and Jeffrey, I live in Indianapolis not Delawere. Never lived in Delaware. That was poor research.
