…You mean “above roofing”.
Not "siding".

Hi to all,
I believe Dave's question related to the need for siding to be a minimum 1-2 inches above the roof covering so that rainwater on the roof surface can not either wick into the siding or migrate horizontally behind it.
This is a particular issue with wood or composite siding systems but all such interfaces realy need a seperation.
Regards
Gerry
