1. A mounting bracket assembly for an exterior wall having a substructure covered by siding, the mounting bracket assembly comprising: a base member having a mounting flange for attachment to the substructure at least in part beneath the siding; a trim member coupled to the base member and spaced from the mounting flange to conceal the base member; a first series of baffles extending transversely from the mounting flange with each baffle of the first series of baffles spaced from each other generally along a line; and a first elongated drip ledge spaced from the first series of baffles to define a cavity between the first elongated drip ledge and the first series of baffles, the first elongated drip ledge extending transversely from the mounting flange for disposition below the first series of baffles when the base member is mounted to the substructure to divert the water from the cavity to an exterior of the siding; wherein each baffle slopes toward the cavity for channeling water from the siding to the cavity so that the water can be diverted by the first elongated drip ledge from the cavity to the exterior of the siding.
