Flashing over bay window with siding. The counter flashing is then. Where the center part of the roof of the bay is hitting the siding there s flashing going up under the siding and there s flashing coming down on top of the shingles. If your home is brick we do a full examination of the caulk around the bay window edge. There s no cocking ph along the bottom of the flashing.

We also check for missing flashing cracking in your siding and test the soundness of the windows themselves. During our inspection of bay windows we will check all flashings behind the siding for proper installation. At the top tuck metal drip cap flashing under the siding and on top of the second layer of wrap. Install the trim just under the drip cap.

First we take measurements of every angle we need we then cut and bend the metal for your new flashing next we use a grinder to cut a small gap into the mortar which allows us to tuck the counter flashing right inside. The second half of window flashing occurs once the window unit is secured and squared within the rough. Here is a quick look at the steps involved.
