Wall/Roof Flashing

Spreading tar and sealant in this wall to roof transition for years caused moisture to get trapped under the shingles. This ongoing problem only worsened with time, water not draining properly on the flashing combined with low fasteners discovered where the flashing attaches to the wall. To repair this roof it was necessary to remove stucco, remove the old flashing along with shingles and underlayment in this area, replace the flashing with new and a tie-in with new underlayment and shingles.

Shingles and underlayment removed

Deteriorated sheathing exposed, and underlayment removed to prep working area
