In this corner, there was not sufficient flashing to direct the water off the siding below the roof; the water had rotted the siding, exposing the insulation beneath.

The wood slats and flashing were in good shape.

Tim cleaned up the styrofoam insulation I had put on many years ago before they attached the new siding.

The old extruded styrofoam insulation I installed still looks in pretty good shape.

I asked Jesse to change the trim in the corner where the two levels of the siding don't meet.

I also asked him to do something about the right angle cut on this corner.

They put flashing under the siding and over the concrete.

Since I had put up the fence (on the left) with screws, Jesse was able to remove three boards, so they could work more easily to put up the siding and trim.

To simplify the work (the existing panels here were in fair condition), I agreed to have them apply the new panels over the old on this section of the house.

Going back around to the front of the house, the trim was going on.

They removed the old door to the shed to replace the exterior panel that had rotted at the bottom because I had put metal trim on that collected water.

The shed door is very heavy, so I was happy to have them remove it and replace the exterior face.

The re-paneling job stopped at the sunroom.

Jesse nailed down the metal trim on the sides of the newly-paneled shed door so it would close smoothly.

They were rushing to load up before the rain started, but I asked Jesse and Tim to pose in front of their work before they left.

We had a significant leak from this trough section of flat roof on the right side of the garage door, either around the scupper or from backing up under the edge of the shingles; rain ran down the inside of the garage wall and was eroding the sheetrock. Jesse suggested having a metal cap built to go up under the shingles and then over the entire corner to deflect the water. I opted for having him fill in the whole trough with spray foam insulation and close off the scupper.

I used an old, long serrated-blade knife to trim the rough edges of the foam insulation that Jesse had sprayed to fill the trough over the garage door, then applied a coat of white sealant over it.
