Stealth Chimney Flashing Brake

Well Tom, post some of your work, I would like to see what a pre bent chimney flashing looks like installed with a hand seamer. No big deal.

My goal is to get this flashing brake in the hands of real roofers. Roofers who have enough imagination to see the many uses it can offer, like your skylights. I do not know what 7 X 7 pre bent step flashing (colored) cost where your are, but it cost me $60.00 pre pack of 100. Custom colors cost even more. We brake all of our step flashing out of 24in. X 50 ft. rolls of coil stock. The same material we flash our chimneys with. The nice thing about coil stock is that it comes in so many colors. We can match our step flashing to the siding or soffit & fascia. These are the little things that make the work stand out. We waste no aluminum. Any pieces big enough to brake into step flashing gets used. If you get a minute visit our web site and watch the short videos.
Thanks.

Your right. Constructive criticism is a good thing, it gives me prospective. What I keep forgetting is all roofers are not shingle roofers. Like yourself, tile is a different animal all together, and requires a different method of flashing. What gets my goat is when I get criticism from roofers who use Tar & gravel, Fascia Metal, or Flashing Kits that are simply nailed to the brick then caulked over the top. Yes, sometimes the touch paper gets flashy.
Thanks for the insite, Have a good one.

Jody,

I just got off the phone with you and look forward to using the break this spring. We re-flash every chimney on every shingle roof we do. I see a HUGE time saver with your 4ft. hand break. Right now my van sits in the shop with a bunch of latters, walk boards and a 10ft. 6in. break strapped to the top, I would bet that I could take your tool and bend the counter flashing and have it going up the latter befor (2) guys could come off the roof, take the break down, set up the stand, get the metal out, bend it, put the break back on top the van and have the metal going up the roof. I see a no brainer here, nice clean precies bend with both tools, but (1) guy vs (2) to get the job done, and hey, there will be even more room for more walk boards,

there are lots of way to do it, cutting the riglet into the brick is one of three acceptable standards according to NRCA. Steppes counter flashing in mortar is more time consuming and can create alot of room for user error

What does Tar & Gravel have to do with Prefabed Fascia metal and Flashing Kits?
