Common Roofing Material Questions and Answers | Valley and Eaves Flashing
Valley can be protected with galvanized metal or with a mineral surface product such as EZ Roof, made by Tarmac Roofing Systems, roll roofing, or a rubberized polyethylene, self-adhering membrane. To estimate the amount of metal valley material needed, measure the length of the valley around the roof's surface. If you cannot obtain the metal in one continuous roll, add 6 inches for each overlap and add another 8 inches for overlap at the ridge and eaves. Use the same procedure for estimating mineral-surface roll roofing. If you use roll roofing for valley flashing, double the amount of the measured length. Two layers of roll roofing are needed for adequate protection against leaks in valleys. Metal and mineral-surface roll roofing used for valleys should be at least 36 inches wide.
Roofing Cement - a variety of asphalt coatings, adhesives, and cements is available for roofing. In a recent project at Malarkey's Irish Pub of Dallas, we used asphalt/plastic based cement, which is the most frequently used product for waterproofing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. A gallon or two of roofing cement should be more than adequate for the typical 20-square home. Use roofing cement that specifies a plastic base or a rubberized compound. As an alternative to messy-to-use roof cement, the 3M company has developed a sealer that can be pressed into place. This caulk-like product comes in 15 foot wide solid tape and is guaranteed for 20 years against cracking and peeling. We have also performed work for NEADL and US Tree Service of Carrollton Texas. While we no longer service the Richardson, TX area, our buddies at 360 Innovations Roofing Company can help east of Dallas.
As a general rule, if you cannot obtain precut aluminum step flashing in the proper cut, you can always cut and bend each pieces in half to make them 7x5 inches. Allow for a 2-inch overlap of each piece when you are measuring for step flashing that is to be installed along a wall or chimney.
For a re-roofing job, carefully remove and reuse all pipe collars. If the collars and shingles were properly installed, the old shingles will have protected the collars from wear. For new work, measure the circumferences of the pipes and purchase either metal or polyurethane collars.
