[Aaron M. Zuehlke]

Does anyone see anything wrong with this chimney flashing? The roofer didn't seem to...

[James F. McKee]

Maybe it looks better this way.

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

Still not a good picture. But it appears that the flashing is on top of the shingles instead of the other way around. The upper shingles should overlap the flashing.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

This one from Inachi is better.

...be familiar with good roofing practices?

Not to difficult to figure flashing should be below tile upsteam.
Lack of step flashing is more common than not, as step flashing takes work.
In Chicago a wrap around is the standard.(yes wrong but common)

I'm not even surprised to see how many roofers that simply do not have logical knowledge in "GRAVITY". The percentage is pretty high.

That's why so many fall off roofs.

Man I have bent many chimney flashing ,and I also use counter flashing.
Takes 20 minutes on a job like that.
This should have been started from the bottom ''lowest part of the chimney and then 2 sides and end full strip on top.''
It is sealed or bonded with a wrist lock bend. Very simple.
I have not seen 1 roofer doing shingles roofs, able to do a wrist lock for over 20 years.
The tin work is the weakest link in the chain on roofs.
As for step flashing, its the best but takes time and you have to cut into the brick masonry and roofers are roofers and tinsmiths usually apply wrap or step flashing.
With a gum edge on the wrap flashing to hold a liberal amount of good caulking its is the best'' fast method'' for flashing and I have seen it last over 15 years.
Its a dying art . Step flashing and tin-smiths in general.

Remember we want to educate on this thread. So what should have been done first?
1. Head flashing needs to be under the shingles.
2 Cut a slot into the brick ready for the counter flashing.
