Roof Replacement - Cheek Wall

Under a previous post I described how we were able to replace a portion of the roof that covered the rear porch that we are converting to a dining room.

One of the main reasons for the urgency in replacing this portion of the roof was recent ice dams and subsequent water damage to the porch's framing.  One of valleys on the porch dumps rain water into the house wall.  There was an attempted repair to this area in the way of roofing cement.

As part of the roof replacement we included stripping the house cheek wall so we could properly flash the area.

Photo 2 shows the roof and house wall stripped and the damage to the sheathing.  We replaced the piece of sheathing (Photo 3) and then ran ice and water on the sheathing and up the wall (Photo's 4 and 5).  As part of installing the roof shingles against the wall is step flashing as well.

Most companies would not go the extra yard of removing the siding to properly flash the house wall.  This little bit of extra work goes a long way towards giving the homeowners the best job we could provide.

And finally a couple of completed roof pictures with the siding re installed (we replaced the corner post so everything would match).
