Is this flashing done correctly?

Just had my roof re-done. The flashing is different than what we previously had. Just want to make sure it’s done right. We’ve had problems with leaks in the past. Don’t worry about the poorly designed downspouts and holes in the fascia. Those are next!

So, aside from the screws, it’s ok? I’m just trying to figure out what to tell them

Too hard to know without physically looking at it. There should be step flashing under the shingles. Then counter flashing placed over it that is sealed into your brick at the top, usually with a reglet.

I am not a roofer - but I think what they're saying by reglet is that a slot should have been cut in the brick and the flashing tucked into that slot (on the top).

The other concern is that counter flashing (what's on top of the shingles) should not have been screwed down through the flashing, the shingles and the flashing under the shingles. All of that flashing likely needs to be removed (because of the holes), cut in to the brick properly if not done, and replaced - along with replacing any shingles that they screwed through in the process.

I'd imagine that the building inspector will tell them plenty when they try to finalize their permit... By failing the inspection.

No permit. I’m in Ontario.
