Maybe these guy’s need a crash course in interior shower building? In my opinion the exterior of a home should be constructed the same as an interior shower. I consistently see leaking shower pans and wall assemblies due to roofing nail penetrations on and around the curb and floor line. Most shower assemblies fail from the knees down where water either collects or wicks upward causing failures and leaks. The same could be said for around exterior windows, doors and foundations. I see roofing nail penetrations on the shower pan, curb and around drain assembly. Over time the membrane shrinks causing leaks around the nail penetrations. I could see this with exterior tapes over time as well. Maybe some of the problem is the confusion between what will seal around a nail and what won’t and the misunderstandings about how water travels. Many contractors do not realize water will travel up hill given the right opportunity.

And the contractor and the HOA and future occupants and product manufacturers and, well, you get the picture! 
 
All the best.

Good post Allison. My personal favorite is when they fold the house wrap on all 4 sides of the window, including the top.
