More and more inspectors are requiring this on new construction and requesting it on repairs. The kickout flashing ensures that water is quickly redirected away or diverted from stucco walls. Walls will eventually have small cracks due to age, thus, the more water that can be diverted away the less likely it will be for water damage to be a problem.
