• All exposed fasteners on the roof (nails, staples, screws or bolts) should be covered with caulk to prevent rusting through and possible water entry.
• Observed tree branches on or near the roof and shingles. These branches can cause roof and shingle damage, and should be trimmed back.
• Observed one or more PVC vent pipes that were not painted. PVC deteriorates in direct UV light and should be painted where it is exposed to sunlight.
• Gutters need general maintenance. Maintenance may include one or more of the following: removal of debris, securing to facia boards, sealing leaks, securing down spouts, replacing missing splash blocks, sections of gutters, and/or down spouts
