OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND



FW&D contracted a large exterior remodel project in Centreville Virginia that includes installing a new roof with CertainTeed Xt 25 year shingles, gutters, LeafProof gutter covers, Alside Excalibur energy star rated windows, Provia energy star rated rear entry door with storm door, new back yard privacy fence, and new siding. We started with replacing the roof. Since this is a town house, we are working against or abutting to the house next door. When we got up on the roof we found that the neighbor, at some point, had some repair work done to his siding. What is really unfortunate here is that the workers had an attitude that if the homeowner can't see it from the ground then we don't have to do a proper repair. As you can see the gap between the bottom of the siding and the roof flashing allows water to get into the house. FW&D will show the homeowner these pictures and propose an economical repair.

  1. Wow! I could not believe to see the photos of the roof. Thank you for sharing this post for me to see as I am that homeowner but not the neighbor next door. :-) Delighted to see the photos and I applaud the workers to do the right thing.
