Roof has visible signs of animal damage – looks like a raccoon tried to get into the roof and tore off shingles causing a water leak. We removed the broken shingles and roof cemented the entire area, then installed new shingles.
We also resealed the chimney flashing as sealant was starting to wear out which happens over time. Also resealed a bathroom exhaust vent.

Problem: There are three soffit panels – two of which had blown off and one was hanging. The downspout problem that was overflowing in the corner was caused by a clogged downspout.
Solution: We re attached the soffit panels. Then sealed them with chem caulking so wind will not catch them again.
The seals are good in the corner and on the downspout. We then unclogged the downspout.
Our Roof Repair Specialist recommend that eaves be cleaned around entire house and a gutter filter installed.
