It's ugly but it's a nice detail. I like to see at least an inch..on my house you can see an inch and a half. I color matched it though.

Did they use a beaver to trim the siding?

Most requirements for wood siding state a minimum of 2" clearance between siding and roof surface.

James Hardie company also wants to see 2".

I'm generally pleased with 1" and a nice even match on the alignment and cuts.

I shudder with the ragged cuts and when there is no clearance.

It's tiring how often I find the siding, whatever it is, brought right down onto the roof. I think it's a combination of silly-arse clients complaining about seeing it, and half-competent contractors not insisting on what's right (if they know). This is one of those things I write up all the time that never gets fixed.

The field cut ends of the siding should also be sealed.
