Hi: link shows picture of problem. Lower garage roof ties into
side of house. I have step flashing under the vinyl siding and under
each row of asphalt shingles. At roof edge , brick wall sticks out
about one inch and water is getting into it. some how i guess i have
to tie flashing into the brick coursing?? any ideas. thanks bill


What you need is called a brick pocket. Call any sheet metal
fabrication company and tell them what you need. You will
need to draw a diagram with dimensions for them and they will
make up a piece of flashing for you. The brick pocket does
not need to be embedded into the mortar of the brick (although
that is the best way to do it). It is such a small area, that
NP-1 or another high quality caulk can be used to seal the
back of the flashing to the brick.

The installation can be a bear on finished buildings unless
you take off some shingles and siding, so go ahead and begin
with that in mind.
