Step flashing at vertical wall?

[Dale Duffy]

Then you have the weep flashing......never fails, always screwed-up.

Foundations out of plumb, the home doesn't fit quite right....yada, yada...etc, etc.

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?

[Carl A. Brown]

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.

[Leigh Goodman]

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.
