Rubber roof edge caulk

Did you consider a strip of Eternabond along the roof edge? Place it on the roof and leave about 1/4 inch on the gutter.

That is a great idea! And a good one.

Here is a tip to take it one step better, get rid of the vinyl strip covering the gutter rail screws and take the E bond all the way to the bottom of the gutter. That vinyl cover strip over the screws can rot out the screws and then a leak wicks in the rusted screws into the top sill plate and attic area.

See here for a few pics

The problem,




The fix,


Looks like this when done


For an upgrade, replace the old steel screws with stainless flat heads and counter sink the head. Just do not Ctr sink too deep. Have the screw about 1/32 to 1/16" not flush. If you do not want to C'sink, get pan head screws and you can go right over the screw heads too if wanted. Both work, the C sink works a little better but more work.




Hope this helps
