I use to use the "Step" method myself. Not any more. This flashing method eliminated all of the exposed slots that wind, Rain, and snow&ice could get in. Most of the chimneys we repair have the old "Step" flashing that someone tried to tar the open side of the step flashing.

You guys talk about capturing more market share. Think about this from the home owners prospective. Let's say we both have the same sales pitch. Who do you think will get this job when we show the home owner our past jobs.

If the job I am bidding has the old "Step" on the chimney, and let's say the chimney is the cause of the leak. All I have to say is "It did not work last time". And show the home owner before & after of this chimney. Who do you think will get the job. And I will probably be higher in price.

On a faux block chimeny a straight flashign is often the only way it can be done. ust like stucco. Tht chimney most likely has cement block behind the block, and am I correct in assuming that the block doesn't quite go all the way down to the roof, but stops about 3-4" short?

When I explain to customers that usually, not always, the guys doing the straight flashing are not creating the reglet and allowing the metal to penetrate into the brick/block/masonry... they LOL still usually hire the low bidder.

Even i admit some of your flashings are nicely finished, but the only time i would do straight flashing is across the wall or as Grumpy said when theres stucco or render.
Alot of the low ballers here wouldnt even replace the flashings and just re-dress the old ones so when i show my portfolio of previous work i win hands down or i tell them give me a call when it leaks!
I will post a picture of my hand break i use for bending the flashing,im sure yours is a good product and i could possibly have some use for it but not enough i think.
Cheers
Dave

As you can see we are not the average roofer. We do incorporate the riglet cut to recess our counter into the brick. I know about the guyes you are talking about. They just slap nail the counter flashing to the sides and caulk over the top. The cinder block runs all the way to the floor inside the home. Please visit my visitors area. I have posted start to finnish photos of many of these projects.

Meaning,the most of the time it will be sitting in the van not earning its keep!, because i step the flashings as i said and do not do straight cuts down the chimney.
I woul be run out of town if i did the flashings like you.
Cheers
