Скачать или смотреть Siding Too Close to the Roof? Common Damage NJ Homebuyers Should Watch For

During a single family home inspection in Northern New Jersey, I found a common issue with older homes and homes with wood siding. The siding had been installed too close to the roofing materials, leaving almost no separation between the wood boards and the shingles.

Even though there was flashing behind the siding, the lack of proper clearance allows snow and water to sit against the wood. Over time, this leads to deterioration, splitting boards, and drainage problems along the roofline.

Proper spacing between siding and roofing is essential to prevent moisture damage. A thorough inspection helps identify these areas early so repairs can be planned before they become more serious.
