Roof Flashing
Is flashing needed at this point on the roof?
Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Roof Flashing
Yes, the flashing coming out from the bottom of the siding (eifs?) should be on top of the shingles and it looks like it's beneath. And the upper edge where there is no siding should be flashed. In most cases the exposed nails are a dead give away that something is wrong.

Re: Roof Flashing
RS: No, but the nail heads must be sealed.

Re: Roof Flashing
Yes, there should be drip mold inverted to catch the leading edge of the shingles and nails sealed for best practice.

Re: Roof Flashing
The area below the stucco siding is flashed but I am concerned about the area just to the left of the stucco siding. It is not flashed and I wanted to make sure that it should be. It does have a drip edge but no flashing under the shingles. As far as I know this needs to have flashing as well. Correct?
Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Roof Flashing
I believe a quick peek under the top shingle and you would see your flashing.
It is common practice (I did not say best practice) to run the shigles all the way to the wall or ridge, then flash as others have stated should be done. Then often times (as I believe is the case here) the roofer adds the last run on top of the flashing so it will not be seen.
So my thought is that if the roofing does extend to the very top of the ridge and the drip edge is installed over it, then the "cap" is installed for esthetics, it is flashed.
There does appear to be a hole where the flashing on the wall does not extend all the way to the corner.

Re: Roof Flashing
I actually pulled the shingles up at the ends where the picture is showing and it is definitely not flashed. It is flashed correctly just below the stucco but again my question is: Does it need to be flashed on the ends of the roof where there is no wall coming down to meet the roof?
Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Roof Flashing
Now I'm really lost..... You pulled the shingles up and it's not flashed but it's flashed correctly??????
Is there flashing under the top course of shingles that curiously ends beneath the stucco and is not in place beneath the open end? Is it as someone earlier stated, that the top course of shingles are glued on top of the flashing (picture doesn't look to be so) ?
You seem to convinced that the stucco to roof seam is flashed properly just because there is some metal there. Anyone can just go nail metal on a roof and call if flashing.

He is asking about the short section to the left and Gunar answered it succinctly.

Re: Roof Flashing
Matt, just read what I wrote. The ends of the roof are the areas in question. Not the area beneath the stucco. What's so confusing about that?

Re: Roof Flashing
If I'm seeing this right, it's a shed type roof that does not terminate at a wall. Typically a stick of ODE at minimum at the top of the wall. Preferably a shop fabricated piece of flashing the covers the fascia with a drip kick.

I don't know if it is right or wrong. That is why I posted it.

Re: Roof Flashing
Ryan. if you are still with us, there are at least two flashing issues in those pics. Gunnar answered your question about the left portion and AD says it is not required but desirable.
The other and bigger issue is that the section butting up to the stucco lacks flashing. There is a shingle edge and a row of nails there that should be under a flashing, that comes out from behind the stucco, no?

Re: Roof Flashing
Ryan,
What's so confusing about that?"
What you wrote is so confusing about that.
you left it wide open as to what you were referring to when you said "at this point on the roof" ... *I* presumed you were referring to the wall area at the right ... NOT the top of the shed roof area (or ridge is there is another roof down the other side).

Re: Roof Flashing
Here is a detail that I guessing Ryan is looking for. From what I've deduced from this thread is that there is a flashing installed at the stucco roof intersect with shingles installed on the flashing to hide it, I've seen this but do not recommend it. There should be a flashing installed at the ridge not only to protect the fascia and top edge of the roof but the stucco corner.
