Yessiree! HOA's and other committees set the code for 'roofing' in Fla. Best roofs of all is to just spread bull all over the plywood and call it done.
I think most of the roofers have left so they can apply their trade instead of letting ex-teachers, ex-postal employees, etc. tell them how 'they' want it done because of something seen on hgtv or some cement commercial. :huh:

"Flashing" does not come in a bucket! Does your step flashing sytem leak? If not, why change?
We will normally install a layer of Grace I&W at the break of the chimney, 6" out and 6' up and then install the steps and then the counter-flashing. DON'T cut the shingles tight against the wall, leave about 3/8" gap so that the water can flow by un-impeded. You are on the right track.
