- 4Can I install siding, soffit, and fascia before roof shingles?Installing siding and trim before shingles leaves the critical roof-to-wall flashing exposed and vulnerable to being redone. Doing the roof first ensures proper water-shedding integration where the materials meet.
- 3How to shingle around roof bends and height differences?Shingling around perpendicular roof joints and awkward bends is complicated by a two- to four-inch height difference between old and new roof sections. This leaves builders guessing whether bending or stapling shingles around sharp angles is correct and struggling to create a clean, properly sealed transition.
- 2How to fix a leaking skylight after rainWater leaks around a skylight during a windy rainstorm are typically caused by a compromised seal or flashing at the top of the frame. Inspecting the roof helps identify whether the seal has failed or if additional flashing like a cricket is needed to divert water away from the opening.
