Applies peel-and-stick flashing image membrane material both in installing the deck ledger flashing, and importantly to the top edges joists (near the ledger board) and deck beam tops. An example deck beam top sealing over the top of the built-up deck beam is shown in the image of Everflashing's perimeter flashing product (left). The long story here is that the water rooted out the main ring joist and three feet of the floor joist of the house. Needless to say, I had to lift the house up and cut out all the bad wood, remove the deck and rebuild it. All because of a $40 piece of flashing. Yes, copper flashing is not cheap, but what a saving.

Vinyl siding is an affordable and low-maintenance first-line of protection against the weather. It gets a bad wrap because of J-channel, but with a little thought, you can make it look great.

Detail 2: Align siding with window trim

Detail 3: Make the starter strip into a kickout flashing
If you seal the top of the starter strip, then you can tuck flashing behind it later to protect the trim and kick water out from the wall. Always use a roller to mash the tape down. Many of them are pressure-sensitive.
