If your home is brick we do a full examination of the caulk around the bay window edge. On the side on either side of the hips the flashing actually goes under the shingles and behind the siding. Install the trim just under the drip cap. We also check for missing flashing cracking in your siding and test the soundness of the windows themselves.
