Sounds like you definitely need to install some drip edge.
Gap between soffit and roof.
Crude but should do the trick.
To be sure your roof is getting enough ventilation there are simple calculations that you can follow.
What are some solutions to cover the gap between the roof deck and the fascia board.
Start at the end of a fascia board and caulk the corner edge where two boards meet.
My issue since not on contract and i did not check life lesson.
I have gutters all the way around shingles overhang 1 1 5 get good flow to gutters.
There s a bunch of 1 5 wide x 1 long gaps between some of the soffits along the edge of the roof that need sealing.
That area is supposed to be open for venting the roof.
We are sure that the new beam is supporting the property roof beams but we can see a gap between the top of the row of stretcher bricks and the soffit board and the wood support beams are visible as they extend out beyond new brick line.
To get an idea of what i am talking about google soffit and fascia and you will see typical installations.
However it should be covered with a material made of aluminum or vinyl with a type of screen to allow air to enter but keep small animals and rodents out.
Beyond the decreased capacity for insulation when venting the roof deck venting the roof deck or the attic has some other drawbacks worth considering.
In cold climates snow can enter the soffit and ridge vents melt and potentially cause rot.
I thought of applying sealant or epoxy to close the gap but.
Position the caulk gun at the corner of the soffit where it meets the back of the house.
Both parts provide a finished look and keep bugs and critters out of your attic while soffits also play an important role in ventilating the attic.
I recently had roof replaced and did not have drip edge installed.
Re the fascia gap it is normally installed tight often the fascia is even installed up tight to the shingles so that the roof sheathing is butted to the inside of the fascia.
Pull the trigger on the tube and run a thin bead of silicone sealant along the gap between the soffit and the house.
The soffit is the flat panel that covers the underside of the rafters between the back of the fascia and the outside of the house wall.
Hope the shingle overhang is enough to cover the newly installed drip edge.
My plan was to cut to fit some boards to put in there spray some great stuff in there then jam the boards in.
I don t have gap all around just in some areas.
