What happens here
With the main roof panels installed, focus on finishing the edges and ensuring a watertight seal. This often involves installing metal or composite flashing where the roof meets the house siding to prevent water intrusion. Additional trim pieces may be installed along the outer edges of the roof structure to give it a clean, finished appearance. Apply appropriate sealant or caulk to any seams, fastener points, or gaps to enhance weatherproofing. Use a step ladder for comfortable and safe access to these finishing details.
Goal: Complete the roof installation with proper flashing, trim, and sealing
