Professional NJ Flashing Applications
Professional NJ Flashing Applications is absolutely vital when having your new roof replaced. Making certain that all existing pipe flanges are replaced, step flashing along siding is properly reinstalled or replaced, where needed. The Flashing around your chimney is the most crucial, consisting of two forms of flashing, Step and Counter Flashing. Usually Aluminum is the material used for the flashing, but sometimes copper may be a customers choice instead.
The images above are example of how a properly installed chimney flashing application should look like, neat, clean & beautiful! Notice how the roofing expert contractors, cut an opening into the chimney grout. This is so, the new counter flashing can be custom bent and installed in between the chimney grout. Allowing for a superior custom weather tight professional flashing application.
Functional New Jersey Roofing Ventilation System
A functional new jersey roofing ventilation system is essential, in having proper air-flow. It all begins with penetrations at your roof eaves or soffit area for “intake venting“. The second phase is having “exhaust venting” for the warm air to escape out attic of your roof. I like comparing a properly functional roof vetilation, to “Inhaling” and “Exhaling”, just like how a person breathes. Therefore, it is absolutely important to having air-stream entering and exiting the attic area of your roof!
