Counter flashing....

I got a flashing job to do and the customer wants me to run the counter flashing like what I call a "Band-Aid".

It's a 4/12 roof......at most, that runs into a brick wall. The counter flashing now is stepped and in mortar joint but is cheap aluminum t>>>

Here is a video showing excellent craftsmanship. The fabrication and installation of the copper chimney flashings are spot on. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bONgeVLqt4

that chimney was about 1200$,on top of the roof price,took most of a day,including cleaning the brick face by your figure 9'x3' chimney=24 linear ftx 30$ l.f.=720.00 for aluminum,double would be $1440.00,I figure it`s discounted a bit, when you`re doing a 36 sq.,total replacement roof job---If I was just doing the chimney,I`d charge around $1800.00>>>

Hay John , do you charge by the foot, or do it by the job when pricing. For me .....New-$15@ Ft......Tearout and replace $30 @ Ft. This is with Aluminum Trim Coil. When using copper, which I use very little of , I double the price ,if not more.>>>

copper lasts near forever,and of course they get what they pay for,my standard chimney flashing is usually aluminum,but I`ll push for the copper,because I think it`s the perfect finishing touch,like a nice bracelet on a lady`s wrist ;)>>>

that there copper must of cost a pretty pennie, the only time i've ever used copper for counter flasing is with ceader shake, that's it the rest get metal.3 1/2" on the deck and 6" up the wall. Anyways if the customer wants to pay for copper so be it.>>>

Just make a bend @ the top around 3/8" at a 45 degree then rund a bead of chalking, and then Bobs your uncle.>>>

That is what I use, we call them "masonry Anchors". Don't us them in my counter flashing though. Most of the time I use a 24ga. one piece reglet metal, painted enamble. I go with the color black as my standard color. My favorite caulk is "Rainbust>>>

These?>>>

We have called them "thunder nails" on occasion too. A stainless steel drive pin that drives into a lead insert. The insert is a 1/4 inch and the drive pin expands it as it goes in and holds the insert into the hole. Very strong and quick.>>>

Randy, wall plugs, wall anchors, masonry plugs are all terms for things that would do the job for you. I have occasionly seen lead used for them and they are mostly plastic. Probably because of the perception of lead being a danger, and probably because>>>

TRG, Thanks for putting up with my questions. Where do you guys get 1/8 x 1" lead molys? I know this is gonna sound bad.....but I have never heard of a lead moly. Do they call them anything else? How do they install....do you drill then hammer them into>>>

Merry Xmas Randy. well when it comes to flasing, it's all cosmetic, when it's brick steped it looks better that's for sure.You'll save yourself alot of timie if you could just slap it in, if you have a pair of thoughs, just give it a 45 degee bend at>>>

TRG....I like how that copper looks! I do have a question for you all though. On your chimney I noticed you didnt have to put fasteners down low, that looks nice. But in my application, I am going to be running 45' up a wall and I need to fasten my cou>>>

Randy, the plugs are from the old days back home when most flashings were lead. You just cut a thin strip of lead......like 1" by 3 for a good size chase, then roll it up and beat it into the chase, if it is to big just roll back an inch or whatever unti>>>
