What the inspector means
At a roof-to-wall intersection, the inspector did not see a detail that directs roof runoff away from the wall and into the gutter.
Common causes
- Original omission
- Roof/siding replacement
- Poor gutter termination
- Previous repair
What the repair usually looks like
Coordinate roof flashing, siding/trim, and the gutter termination so water is intentionally discharged away from the wall.
Who should handle it
A roofer or exterior contractor is usually appropriate, especially when shingles or step flashing must be disturbed.
Planning cost
$300-$1,200 for many localized corrections; concealed wall damage can increase the project.
Access, materials, hidden damage, minimum charges, permits, and existing conditions can change actual cost. Use this range for planning, not as a quote.
