Erby Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Is it a roofing issue or a flashing issue or both. Then I put it in one or the other, or both. Tell them to get it fixed. Then I walk away shaking my head in wonder. Cornice Return Click to Enlarge 14.43 KB Click to Enlarge 21.03 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Circle what we're supposed to be looking at. I'm not making the connection between establishing shot and the close up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighton Jantz Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Missing drip edge? Is that sheathing we can see in the close up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Framing error. Is that a level valley depicted in that first photo? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenT Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I see the open void you are referring to (at the secondary kickout). Is it a flashing issue or roofing issue? I believe a flashing issue is a roofing issue. At this point it is a sealing issue. I think it is really a job-site superintendent issue. If the super would have been on the ball, he would have caught it from the get-go. I see this condition quite often, regardless of the type of system.

Erby Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sorry, I thought I'd said it was a cornice return. The fascia metal doesn't fully cover the fascia board. No metal drip edge. No underlayment. Opening for birds to get in. Click to Enlarge 36.6 KB Click to Enlarge 27.81 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 You did, I just couldn't figure which cornice return. It looks like the right drip edge profile would work; not a particularly big deal in my book, but then again, I don't look at many houses of this type. Good sheet metal-iness is next to Godliness.
