There is no easy way to create a watertight flashing installation on brick sidewalls that doesn't rely on homeowners to constantly re-caulk surface-mounted metal.
Current surface-mounted flashing requires cutting into mortar or brick to be effective, otherwise it depends on caulk that degrades over time, requiring homeowner maintenance.
