Chad Fabry Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's ugly but it's a nice detail. I like to see at least an inch..on my house you can see an inch and a half. I color matched it though. Did they use a beaver to trim the siding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Most requirements for wood siding state a minimum of 2" clearance between siding and roof surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Kienitz Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 James Hardie company also wants to see 2". I'm generally pleased with 1" and a nice even match on the alignment and cuts. I shudder with the ragged cuts and when there is no clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 It's tiring how often I find the siding, whatever it is, brought right down onto the roof. I think it's a combination of silly-arse clients complaining about seeing it, and half-competent contractors not insisting on what's right (if they know). This is one of those things I write up all the time that never gets fixed. Brian G. So It Goes [:-indiffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
