I believe you can go one of two ways.
If your house "band" is P.T. , flashing is not required by code in NC.
Flashing is much better than not.
I install P.T house bands (where deck connects) AND use flashing.
Just to be on the safe side.

I am selling my house, and the buyer's inspector is indicating that
there is no flashing between the deck and the house. Is this something
that I will need to repair? From my internet scanning, flashing between
the deck and house became a requirement by CABO 703.8 since 1995. Since
the house was built in 1991, I should not be required to fix this,
correct?
Here is the pertinent info:
House constructed in 1991 in North Carolina.
House has Abitibi hardboard siding.
Deck boards run perpindicular to the house.
The deck floor surface is about 1 foot above ground.
It is entirely possible that the deck is free standing and not attached
to the house, but I don't remember and I am unable to look at the
present time.
Thanks a bunch.
