I was just wondering if you all see as much of this as I do. I see this on vinyl, hardboard, etc… I always recommend a kick out flashing but can’t always get the roofers or the realtors to understand proper flashing techniques.

Kick out flashing? How's this?

This house had water damage in the ceiling, wall, floor and door system.
It was minor to the eye, but moisture testing indicated the damage to be substantial. This was a 12 month warranty inspection.

I would sure hope that a roofer would understand the importance of a kick out flashing. You are right good call, what was your recommendation by the way?

Recommended installing a kick out flashing or like to divert water away from the side wall and into the gutters. I see this all the time, almost all homes Ive inspected with this type scenario.

Dave:

Kick-out flashing are new and somewhat a proprietary product.

The photos you generated would tell me that the flashing was inappropriate for the intended function, and the siding should have been held up approximately 1" above the roof system and projected beyond the eave of the lower roof by at least 3".

The existing conditions appear to be contributing to water intrusion behind the siding below.
Would recommend a Roofing and Siding Contractor to evaluate my concerns.

A very good product, BTW. My son-in-law, the roofer, was using it

on ajob and I was impressed by it.
