Work at the roof edge can affect adjacent siding, fascia and gutters. Ask how the scopes fit together and who owns each transition.

Have each scope identify the roof-edge details it covers. Agree on who handles each transition and the order of work so the trim, gutter and roof covering fit together.

If you have a gutter, fascia or siding concern, tell Dekoven Roofing what you observed and ask about an assessment.

Order matters

Roof edges, siding and gutters meet. Doing the work in a sensible order protects each part.

Typical order

  • Roof first.
  • Siding and trim next.
  • Gutters last.

Coordinate

Share the plan between trades so each knows who owns each transition. Clear responsibilities prevent gaps and finger-pointing.

Handling the transitions

The places where roofing meets siding, fascia and gutters are where scopes most often blur. Water that runs off the roof edge, down a wall and into a gutter crosses all three, so a gap in any one can cause damage in another.

Asking each trade to describe the transition they are responsible for, in writing, is a simple way to prevent disputes later.

Save cost

Bundling can reduce access and setup costs and shortens the overall schedule.
