I am looking to have a new asphalt shingle roof (tear-off) installed along with gutter repair/install. The gutter work will require replacement of some of the fascia boards and maybe a repair to the some of the rafter tails due to rot. I like to get some input on the best time of year as far as temperature goes for single sealing and also phasing the two jobs. I would think the fascia and rafter work should be done before the new roof is installed. Roofers here usually sub-out the gutter work, so I just want to be sure things are being done in the correct order.

I have had problems with moss growing under wide overhangs on the side of Dormers. It may be contributing to leaks. The roofing runs up under these overhangs and the space is very narrow and almost impossible to clean the moss or treat for moss.. because there is just no access! The roofing disappears under the fascia.. is this normal? The Fascia board is only 1"" from the roofing! and I have no access to clean the roofing and water gets back in this crevice. This seems like a poor design. I am considering to enclose under part of the overhang, to create a soffitt. (In the "upper" portion of overhang) I might also cut the overhang back a bit. (The rest of the Craftsman home has large overhangs. One roofer told me this would limit my ventilation above Dormers, but I forgot to inform him that I am adding a ridge vent.. which should ventilate properly (I will also still have bird block vents in the front half, which I do not enclose. As far as aesthetics, these dormers up high and on back side of house. I will still run the Fascia all the way back. I would also extend the flashing out a bit from the new soffits in hopes it will channel more water AWAY from under the overhangs. to reduce moss.[ATTACH]17469[/ATTACH] I am also installing a ridge vent on Dormers and peaks with a new roof & using Ice and water shield and heavy felt. (I have also had ventilation moisture problems, which I have addressed)
