Metal Roof/Flashing on Stucco Wall

The water will find its way into the building envelope via the screw holes.

As I stated above, purely cosmetic for curb appeal.

If it’s a cosmetic piece, then the roofing screws used will eventually cause leaks. A better approach is to glue the cosmetic piece on.

If it’s the wall to roof flashing (if there’s no other L shaped through wall flashing behind the stucco), it’s completely incompetent and will lead to very rapid water entry to the wall. It can be fixed with a reglet flashing.

As well look at the top of the decorative brick columns, and ask where wind driven rain goes.

Looks B.A.D. and I’d double down on checking everything related to roof and stucco work, and start disclaiming real fast.

I disagree with that, but it is up to the inspector to perform a full inspection before making any conclusion or recommend a professional to further evaluate. Obviously, he can’t. We are looking at pictures and he is on site.

Improper headwall flashing that’s missing reglet counterflashing. Nobody is going to do flashing twice. So there is no other proper flashing underneath.

And no one does flashing for just cosmetics.
