Re: Reinspection of a deck
I'd be happy to get that much.

Any ideas for getting a builder to install deck flashing over ledger joists?

I've inspected 14 beach houses this year. The number of flashings over the ledgers: 0

It's gotten to where I take a drawing of proper flashing, along with pictures of rotted rim joists, sub-flooring and floor joists along to show my clients why I report them when they're missing. The best correction a builder is able to come up with is a small flashing extending about 1 inch over deck planks, and is absolutely worthless.
