Just telling OP to flash it using a fun visual.
I wouldn't want exposed wood directly on a concrete slab because it increases the chances of rot even if there is no standing water. I assume that's why the contractor kept it up 2".
Personally, I'd just screw some "L" flashing that's easily removable on the exterior side. Keeps shite from coming in and when it's time to hose down or blow off the porch you can remove a few pieces of flashing to let the debris (and water if hosing) out.

Contractor is highly recommended and has been a dream to work with. But apparently, folks don't build screen porches anymore, opting for open air kitchens and the like. In his 20 years, no one has asked for a screened porch. He also mentioned wood on the slab as a solution, but said that would eventually rot.
