portion of the aluminum step flashing. The problem is only about 2
inches of flashing is going up the wall and only one inch in some
spots. This can't be enough can it? I am trying to find some
standards for flashing installation but so far no luck. Can anybody
tell me how high the flashing should run up the wall?

| NRCA, SMACNA, and some other sources suggest 4 inch minimum.

2 or 3" is the bare minimum. In coastal areas and areas where ice
damming is a problem, 4 or 5 " is preferable.
