Thanks Robert, I have seen that one, but it still involves going into the block itself, which I'm not certain will be an option. It very well may be, but until they pull off the existing flashing I won't be able to tell for sure, so was wondering about cutting directly into the stone with the counter flashing, similar to cutting into brick. Thanks again. Kevin

Yep, that's a mess.
Not sure how I'd go at that one.

I don't see many shake roofs. Is it typical to put wood shingles on saddles? Clearly, the code-mandated 3" for flashings won't work.

You know, if it was me, I'd always carefully calculate where the flashing turns into the chimney and lay up with brick or block until that moment - laying the counterf-flashing right into the brick under the stone. But that's just me. There's really no other easy or pretty way to flash stone.

Thanks for the replies. The reglet cut in is what I recommended, just haven't seen it directly into the stone, just the block below the stone then starting stone above it. I assumed that would be okay, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was overlooking with doing that. It looked like limestone, it is all brand new. Looks like they direct adhered it to the block, but couldn't see how far down the stone went in this application with the flashing over it.
The rest of the house had stone veneer with a drainage plane and weeps, which was actually done nicely. But boy, the roof sure was lacking effort. There are a lot of wood roofs around here, just not usually done new anymore since so many have burned off in my area with lightning and wind, as well as spreading from one house to another.
Took quite the scurrying and "Spiderman" efforts to make it all the way up with the pitches (and a lot of looking around to see if anyone saw the awkward moments), but figured there would be some issues with the size of this roof and house. Thanks again. Kevin

nice effort and good question. The real issue is not the fact it is wrong, but how to remedy

Was the home new(er) Kevin?
The mortar looks like it was applied by a 2 year old.
