The importance of a solid roof edge
The roof edge is a very important part of a home. Many people don't realize that the eave is the roof of the house necessary, because it offers the house a lot of protection. For example, it provides protection from moisture, but also from cold coming between the facade and the roofing of your home. If the eaves are not properly maintained or are broken, leaks can occur. Also, when the eave is worn out and can no longer function properly, it is important to properly repair or replace the eave. An eave can be repaired in different ways. You can think of replacing the eaves, install flashing or replace fascias.

How does the professional proceed?
Because the tongue-and-groove boards, weatherboards and fascias are an important part of the roofline of the house, good maintenance is very important. If you have an eaves with parts made of wood, the risk that the edge will rot is even greater. In that case it is best to have the eaves inspected and hire a roofer to do the job. This is because it is a job that must be done at a great height and the job must be done very accurately. Because a professional has professionalism and experience, the tongue-and-groove boards and shingles will be connected to the roof correctly. It is highly recommended to have the job done by a professional, because with a very small mistake the risk of a leak becomes very high. Of course, you don't want to have to start repairing the eaves again in no time.
