We made flashing for over the edge of the metal roof. The flashing is angled down so water runs out and away from the building.

Holes were drilled and for spray in foam insulation. You can see the round plugs. Note the old one by sheathing put on at an angle. Boards have a gap to allow for building movement. Sure don't build them like they used to.

Leaking flashing corrected
in Southern Maryland
The flashing was leaking on this 5 year old roof installation.
The flashing had pulled loose from the building in some areas, and was put on backwards in some areas. More about this project here in the Stucco News.
We cut off the stucco about 4 inches above the roof flashing to put on flashing above the old flashing. A lot of this roof leaked because the stucco was patched with EIFS and there was nothing to anchor the flashing to. Here, the flashing was put on backwards angled into the building instead of away from the building.
We made new z-flashing with a metal brake. The z shaped flashing is like putting a roof over the old flashing.
We made a decorative band aroung the edge to hide the patch. You may have seen how we do this here on the Stucco News.
We left a drainage gap for water that penetrates the stucco to exit over the flashing.
The chimneys from 1850 were used to heat the sanctuary. We re-did the chimneys without breaking the old chimney pots.
The window sills were my idea. They deflect water away from the wall, and cover the horizontal edge of the stucco.
Stucco replaced in the Crestwood area
