Thanks for your idea. Most of the time, if the house wrap is installed correctly there shouldn't be any problems as you were describing. Keep up the good work of being a reputable and conscientious contractor in Michigan. We have certainly seen that failure to flash correctly has led to disastrous results. Thanks for your idea.

This is much different than new construction framers have put in windows for the last 10 years. I am finding alot of failures ion sheathing because there is no drain plain for the water to follow above the windows. The water is locked in behind the house wrap and the window tape doesn't let the water out , hence the wood rots above the windows and leaks also. I think it would have been better to loosely staple the house wrap over the window tape at the top so water can get out when trapped behind the house wrap.
