Default Flashing
I drove by tomorrows inspection today and looked at the roof. According to the listing agent this roof was recently redone with a 10 year warranty. The tile look fine but the flashing is installed outside the stucco. It seems like this will be a constant problem as the caulking deteroriates in the hot Arizona sun. Is this a common practice?

To me that flashing is useless. Have I seen that installation before? NOPE, and for good reason. Blowing rain will get under it and high winds will rip that right off, here in Florida.

I'm not sure how they fastened it or why they installed it that way. I wondor why they would give a 10 year warranty.

Warranty? Will anyone be able to find the Mexicans who installed if it leaks?

Looks to me like it would be better off with no flashing than what I see.
