Enough downspouts for the roof area, and extensions or drainage taking the water properly clear of the foundation rather than onto the path beside it.
Where sections are bent, corroded or hung off rotten fascia, with the fascia itself dealt with at the same time.

An hour on the slopes and a second half-hour underneath, ending in a written list of what is wrong and what merely looks it.
Read the page →Bruising and wind damage found by hand on the slope, documented properly, and repaired before the next season opens it up.
Read the page →Boots, flashing, ridge cap and wind-lifted tabs dealt with individually, so a sound covering is not stripped off over four bad square feet.
Read the page →Chasing a drip uphill from the mark on your plaster to the opening that let it in, usually some distance away.
Read the page →A full tear-off to the deck, every board walked, and the covering rebuilt in order from ice-and-water up to the ridge.
Read the page →The wall under the roofline checked, patched or re-clad by the same people who are already working above it.
Read the page →Usually half a day, and it is checked as part of every inspection anyway.
