I take it those will be stucco!
I have pics like that on my site!
And I am in a heating and cooling climate.
Everything here is stucco…
They make sandwiches with it when the Spam runs dry…
I have tasted both and I will pass!:-&

Would you like a little CAULK with your stucco!!!
Some homes here look like a road atlas within a few days also…
That one was about 2.5 years old at the time of the paint job! I think the OSB has been wet and swelled UP and OUT!!!
Due to a crapy paperback lath job very typical in that neighbor hood!
It is in the same area as most of these!

What kind of drink was that you thought I should be haveing?
I was under the impression that you want to use step flashing. Step flashing is actually less likley to clog up with debris. This is what I just learned at a semniar I was just at. Anyone?
My understanding is the step flashing gives moisture more chances to exit! With a long run of flashing it has a better chance of entering the structure.
When water gets under a shingle but on top of a step flashing the water is shed onto the exposed surface of the downslope shingle and drains to the gutter.
When water is under a shingle and on top of a continuous flashing the water will stay under every shingle down slope and will probably find its way to the roof deck in places.
My opinion is that step flashing-installed shingle fashion is the proper practice and personally would not use a continuous flashing against a vertical wall.
Thank you for the replies:) . After researching and calling shingle manufacturers, it is recommended that step flashing be used at veritcal wall to roof junctions. Will builders start using it more often, I dont think so. I think its faster for everyone involed to just put down a long piece of L shaped flashing then to install step flashing. After all, today its about how fast you build them. Another poor practice in my opinion is that at these vertical walls the siding will go all the way down to the roof deck. No space between the two materials to prevent water damage/ rot.
All shingle roofs need step flashing at vertical walls running up the slope where as walls running along the slope use a continous piece. The idea of using a one piece flashing, on a verticle wall running up the slope, is like asking the shingle manufacturer to void the warranty and the roof WILL leak.
