Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Counter flashing only works if the base flashing beneath it is correct, so confirm the base flashing and shingle laps before ordering metal. On masonry, this piece can be set into a reglet or surface-applied with appropriate fasteners and sealant per detail. Keep laps in the direction of water flow to prevent capillary entry.
Wear gloves when handling cut galvanized metal edges and observe roof fall-protection requirements.
