I recently enlarged my existing covered patio. My contractor demoed my existing one. My new patio is 16 x 24. It has a gable roof. I noticed he did not use step flashing. He chalked a line 3in from the roof line and then used a grinder with diamond blade and cut through the hardie plank/board. He then used 2 pieces of L flashing (4 total) and a top piece. He then slid the L flashing up behind the hardie siding. I do have a attic ladder into the roof and I don't see any felt paper under the flashing. There is felt on the roof sheathing though. Obviously I'm not happy with his work. How much more protection would step flashing have been. It seems to me he took the easier route.
Thanks
