Exteriors & construction
Everything around the roofline, built to keep water out.
Siding, gutters, fascia, trim and roof carpentry — the parts of a house that meet the roof and fail together. One crew, one scope, one point of contact.
Where leaks start
Five places water gets into walls
Many “roof leaks” are really wall leaks. These are the details we check on every exterior job.
- A
Roof-to-wall joints
Where a lower roof meets a second-story wall. Needs step flashing and counter-flashing, not caulk.
- B
Kick-out flashing
At the bottom of a roof-to-wall line, a small diverter keeps water out of the wall. Often missing.
- C
Window heads
Flashing above windows sends water out over the siding instead of behind it.
- D
Fascia & drip edge
Overflowing gutters and missing drip edge rot fascia and soffits over time.
- E
Downspout outlets
Water dumped at the slab can contribute to foundation and drainage problems in clay soils.
