Roof Flashing

[Peter Foxe Smothers]

Am I correct in beliving that the roof where it meets the brick should be flashed in this picture?

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

the quick answer is yes/probably, it should have a "kick-out" flashing, is this a full brick veneer or a "stick-on" it looks like the former

Its a stick on. This is a new build. Anyone else? Getting ready to finish the report and want a few more responses before I call it out to the builder.

If the home was in Phoenix, but it is not, flashing would not be required there.

i'd report, "small section of roof should have kick-out flashing to prevent wash up of debris and cause water damage"

[Shawn Rowe]

I believe the water mark below the window will answer that question. Good building practice to have flashing and kickout

I'd start with gutters and downspouts...

Up here in MN its a good idea to use flashings in that area. It will pass in the summer but when it snows and you get ice dams........at night when things are quiet you will hear dripping. Of course proper insulation to achieve a cold roof helps. 'there's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over'

Hi Peter,

with it being a stick on veneer the use of proper flashings is critical.

If they skipped the flashing detail! What did they do to the moisture barrier?

[Kenton H. Shepard, CMI]

What it really needs is gutters. Yes, it should have flashing, but you'll almost never see it installed in that situation. Slotting brick for counter-flashing VS NOT doing that = the least of his problems.
If the darkness below the window is from moisture, where's the dark trail from the roof edge?

I agree with the above. There was no oversight on the job or the crew just got lazy. Whatever it is its wrong and should be repaired.

Anything short of a kick out being installed is a bandaid and will over time fail!
And IMO it is the roofers fault it was not in place. Then the builder,then the lick and stick brick installer! Where was code inforcement?
And if the kickouts are not code can anybody tell me how to help get it that way?

Carl, in Phoenix they make their own codes and change existing on a daily basis.

I have never seen flashing in the area pictured above unless it was done in the old days when craftsman used to exist.
