Many years ago thousands of homes were built with no soffits. They all have one thing in common. Ice Dams. That is the heading of one of our brochures we sent out last fall. What we do to repair the problem is extend the soffits. We remove the gutter, fascia board to expose the truss tails. We make shure the insulation is pushed back & down to allow air flow. We then install new truss tails to each rafter 2 foot up with 1 foot out. Any part of the roof we expose is covered with Ice Shiels and new shingles are installed, color to match as close as possible.

This expands your project, it lets the home owner know that you really know how to remedy the pre-existing problem and repair it perminatly. You can bet all of the other bids the home owner got sounded like the conversations in this forum. And then I came along and offered her this solution. Who do you think she is going to hire to install her new roof. "Mam while we are here we might as well fix it right". How would you repair your home? The nice thing about this repair is that you can pick this work up years after the new roof is installed. Because the roofer who installed the roof did not have this information. Hope this helps someone.

Why don't you post your work. Must be nice to hide behind anonymity, no web site, no company name. I take it you are a Shingle Slinger sub contractor with nothing better to do. If not, POST.

Gutters full of ice, I see that 2-3 month out of every year.... and I have also seen a few damns or icicles where the ice extends from the gutters to the ground.

Right now we have at least two dozen gutter cleaner jobs that never got done and can't get doen due to snow and ice.

I've done similair jobs where we had to build out the over hang to provide an intake. We've also boxed out the kind of overhang that has exposed rafters. Now we'll just build a false fascia unless the customer likes the look of the overhang. The false fascia is faster, easier and cheaper, and provides the necessary intake.

This is one method I chose to use where there is no Soffet, this is even on a lawyers home, and he likes it.
