THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED BY USER "ROBERT F" BUT HE HAD AN ERROR HE WANTED TO CORRECT. HE COULD NOT EDIT IT, SO PER HIS REQUEST, I DELETED HIS POST AND REPOSTED IT FOR HIM.
Good afternoon everyone,
I am still in a discussion concerning the lack of "Kick Out Flashing" after a roof replacement project in our townhome community made up of 29 buildings and 156 owners. Today I took a risk and took photos of my neighbor's garage roof overhang where it butts against my vertical wall siding on my garage. The pictures are of the same area but I do not see anything close to "Kick Out Flashing." I see the "J Moulding", gutter guards, and maybe felt paper? I would appreciate any comments to help me understand what I see.
Thanks,
Bo

Agree, but not a code violation. The diverter flashing isn't specifically designed to protect a window, rather it is to help prevent the water from running down any surface, instead diverting it to a gutter, or at least away from the building.Looking at the picture takes me back to a time when I was installing siding and trim. We fabricated a diverter shingle. The function of a diverter shingle is not to protect a window but merely to keep water from getting behind the siding where the wall and roof meet at the edge of the roof. The damage in the picture was the result of a poor design. Placing a window where it takes a roof flow is asking for trouble.
I see what may be the edge of a step shingle but there does not appear to be a counter-flashing. The white PVC channel is something that should not be there.
Upon closer examination, I doubt that I am seeing the edge of a step shingle.
