At least that’s what I’ve always called them; don’t know why. Situation: porch on three sides of a 1920 stucco house with Phili gutters (gutters built in at the edge of the roof). The metal roof over all of it has been coated and patched over the years with a thin, apparently rolled or brushed on coating that now flakes and peels. I laid down fiberglass mesh and coated with Karnak in some of the gutters two summers ago and it appears to be doing the job.
Question: Since leaks are now appearing with increasing frequency as heavy drips through the soffits below sections of the Un-Karnacked gutter (the metal has apparently rusted right out in many areas) should I hit all the gutters with this method? And while I’m at it, take off the loose stuff and skim coat the rest of the roof?
Before anyone labels me TheButcher, I am well aware that a new roof is in order, but unfortunately its not in the cards for a couple two tchree more years. What’s the best way to get me there with soffits intact. Thanks!
