Default Can copper flashing be used over existing galvonized flashing?

Thanks guys for your help. I've yet to relay this to the roofer, but
the question remains "what to do?". He claims that he has combined
the two before and has not had an incident in twenty years since he
originally did it. That case was a galvanized drip edge meeting
copper gutters.


His experience is probably valid for that particular arrangement. If yours is
similar and he looks like he will still be around in twenty years, then go for
it.

Galvanized over galvanized would be a no brainer. But, if you have your heart
set on the look of copper then he ought to be willing to humor you and do it up
with all the bells and whistles the way you want.

Regards,

John
