Roof Sheathing Does Not Overlap Fascia Board

This opens the door to the possibility of water damage by letting gravity work against you.

Roof sheathing does not overlap fascia board.

Start at the end of a fascia board and caulk the corner edge where two boards meet. In this video i trim my truss tails by snapping a chalk line drawing a plumb line down from that line and then using a circular saw to cut them off. Take a small scrap of the sheathing and a 2 piece of the facia from ur ladder hold the sheathing on the roof and slide it down to where the bottom edge of the sheathing is flush with the edge. Smooth the caulk bead with your finger and begin caulking the joint between the fascia board and the soffit also.

On my shed my sheathing does not protrude actually how both my house and shed are done is a 1 x 6 house 1 x4 shed fascia is installed to end of rafters then 1 x 1 1 2 is tacked onto the fascia at the top. 4 reduced roof tile overhang by capping over the boards the guttering will be set slightly further away from the roof tiles this may cause rain water to run behind the gutter rather than into it. If the gutter is lower than the bottom edge of the drip edge install flashing behind the drip edge and over the back edge of the gutter to remove the gap. This is a known issue that is directly caused by capping over the fascia instead of doing a proper job and replacing it.

Gravity can be your buddy. If the gutter is not secured snugly against the fascia or if the gutter was installed atop rather than under the drip edge you ll get this problem. When sheathing a roof the first step is to snap a line so that the first row goes on straight. Then i do a metal drip edge to cover it all.

The roof sheathing comes down and ends on top of the 1 x fascia.
