Contractor screw up mounting feet install. (IronRidge Flashfoot2)
1. They damaged shingles above trying to peel them apart.
2.They incorrectly positioned them when lower edge of the flashing is lower then the edge of the first row of shingles. It suppose to be above it.
You can see it on the picture attached.
I want to fix it by following steps:
1. Unscrew and remove each foot with flashing.
2.Remove damaged first and second raw of shingles.
3. Install each foot back reusing the same screw hole but UNDER the first row of shingles cutting shingle the same way it would be done for pipe flashing installation. (see second picture example)
4.Install removed shingles.
Since this is the way all pipe flashing is installed I think it's more watertight then installation recommended by manufacturer.
Question.
Does it make sense? Any objections/advice?
Thank you in advance,
Mikhail.
