    Default kickout flashings and wood to shingle contact

    I inspected a home yesterday and the home was 2 years old. The kickout flashings were installed wrong or not installed at all. The wood on the soffit was touching the shingles on the roof and the wood on the roof chimney was touching the shingles. The builder told the buyers they don't need kickout flashings and there were no codes for them and the wood shingle contact was fine. Does anyone have any input?

    Thanks,

    Ryan

    .
    All cladding Manufacturers ( that I'm aware of ) Require clearance from the shingles.

    Some are 3/4 up to 1 1/2 inches.

    Attachment is from Certain teed Fiber Cement Installation Instructions.

    If Fiber Cement is subject to water deterioration with out the Required Clearances wood don't stand a chance.

    The Builder, Built The Home( no clearance from shingles to cladding ) to Look Pretty from the Curb.

    Billy,

    I don't see in the attachment where it addresses kick-out flashing.

    Ryan,

    I have looked in the past for kick-out flashing requirements in the codes, and have been unsuccessful. As others have said before me, code is the minimum crap that you are legally allowed to build.

    However, as Billy said, I have found the requirement in the siding manufacturer's installation instructions. Posted is Hardie's West Coast installation instructions. If the siding on the house you inspected is a different brand, you might have to look up other instructions.

    Still does not specify a kick-out flashing, only a flashing which will not allow water to enter into the wall.

    That is, unless I missed it in there. What was it Aaron said recently: You can't miss what is not there.

    You STILL did not say the code requires a kick-out flashing ... only a "flashing".

    You need to keep in mind that Ryan stated "The builder told the buyers they don't need kickout flashings and there were no codes for them " and that statement is correct.

    Now TO ACCOMPLISH the necessary water diversion, a kick-out flashing is probably the only flashing which will accomplish that - even though the code does not require a kick-out flashing.

    The photo in your information which shows the preformed kick-out flashing and the step flashing is incorrect.

    The step flashings are supposed to be installed as each course of shingles is installed, not installed first and nailed in place as shown in that photo.

    Mr. Peck Code Does Say Flashing Is Required to Prevent Water Entry Into The Dwelling.

    It is The Builders Job to Accomplish The Required Flashing Materials and Correct Installation Methods.

    He can Squall About The First Name of The Required Flashing but it is Still Required.

    Precisely what I have been telling you, but YOU insisted as calling it "kickout" flashing.

    *I* was simply stating that the code only requires "flashing".

    See below, Gunnar asked about them and you very kindly directed him to them, and did not state they were otherwise, meaning you were accepting the term and using it toward your link.

    And I thought I just heard you brain fart, did not know it was a ripe and juicy one out the other end that I heard all the way down here.
