With the roofing at the “L” Shaped House complete it seems like a roofing wrap-up post is in order…We start with the details of the shingled roof over the main house. The first photo shows the roof over the West side of the bonus room taken while Gill Riehm was installing the roofing system. It it you can see the sheathing, underlayment, flashing, and shingles. We used a Timberline Natural Shadow shingle in charcoal (black).
The next photo shows some of the materials used in the roofing including the ice & water shield from Tri-Built and the GAF Timberline shingles. We have installed a GAF Cobra ridge venting system on the “L” Shaped House. The system includes an open ridge covered with a mesh exhaust vent capped with Timbertex ridge cap shingles.
The next two photos show more of the metal flashing details included in the shingle roofing system. The first shows the valley flashing, drip edge, and step flashing coming together at the valley between the master bedroom and book nook roofs. The second shows one of the metal flashing “kick outs” where the bedroom dormer roof meets the book nook end wall.
The last shingle roof photo shows the drip edge that helps support the asphalt shingles at the end of the (Kloti Chop) eave. The whole point is to direct water away from the house walls. The metal soffit materials will slip up under and behind the roof flashing as the siding is installed starting next week…we hope!
The front porch of the “L” Shaped House has a standing seam metal roof. The photos below show some the installation and flashing details of this roofing system. The first step is an ice and water underlayment. The first photo shows the wall flashing and drip edge pieces screwed to the sheathing to make a cavity that the metal roofing can slide underneath. The metal roofing material is held with galvanized clips that are bent over the standing seam and finished with a cap.
The next photo shows the details at the outer edges of the porch roof. The front edge gets a flashing piece that will accommodate the half round gutters; the ends get a drip edge flashing. Once again the siding folks will bring the metal soffit materials up and under the roofing system.
The last photo provides a closer look at the details at the outer edge of the porch roof. Here you can see how the end of the metal roofing material is trimmed and then bent back on itself to form a “sealed” edge at the end of each section. The cap that covers the standing is also visible in the photo. It “snaps” into place and is trimmed and folded at the end to form its own seal.
Oh…and by the way…Happy 200th posting!
