I feel a little curious. The inspector told me it is a code requirement. But he also said there are still a lot of new homes use the J-Flashing. And when he inspected such kind of home, he always wrote that in the report. I don't know if I should take serious on this with the builder or not. You have your own answer. If it is not code have the builder make it code.

I just purchased a new home from David Weekley in Houston. My inspector told me that the the roof flashing is J-Flashing, which is not qualified now. The code asks the builder to use Step-Flashing instead of J-Flashing in Texas. Our new home is supposed to close on next Friday. We haven't talked to the builder about this flashing problem yet. But I heard from the inspector that it is a little difficult for the buidler to change it. So what should I do? Ask the builder to delay the closing date and change the roof flashing from J-Flahsing to Step-Flashing? Or close the home first, and then ask the builder to change? I am afraid the builder isn't willing to change it because the home is almost done. Thank you for any advices.
