Roof help ?

[Peter C. Russell]

I would never leave a job that way, even if the old flashing is still there, water will get trapped behind the new flashing and will rot the siding. Tomorrow when we get that Nor Easter think about where the water is going, it will go behind the flashing then where? As an inspector I would call this out, as a contractor I would be ashamed of myself.

PS Not to mention, it looks terrible.

Thanks and yes it does look terrible.

Hi. Gary, and it is unfortunate to see people paying for the type of work depicted in the photos you share to us.

Where in Maine are you from?

In looking at your pictures the siding on the sidewall gable should have been cut up about 4" above the roof in order to apply the sidewall flashing properly.

The flashing would have been bent metal of at least 22 gauge and not 26 like it appears to be. The vertical leg of the flashing would be 6" and then run 4"-5" horizontal, 45 degrees back down and 2" horizontal on the roof where it would be fastened.

In your picture of the sidewall, is the house crooked or is the roof metal crooked? There appears to be quite a differential in alignment with the side wall?

I would reccommend that you consult with a Prominent roofing Contractor with expertize in metal roofing and flashings.

I think you will find that you are being taken over the coals with this type of shoddy work.
