Not really, to do it right, so that it doesn't come back to haunt you in the future, you should remove shingles, cut out and replace the wood decking, then re-shingle.
Sometimes a hardware store or building supply has partial packages of shingles that were returned. It may not match but would be better than flashing. They might even give a couple of shingles to you, never hurts to ask.
Has anyone tried using a drain bladder to clear a clogged downspout? The clog (produced by bird/squirrel nest) is in the "crook" of the downspout at the 2nd story roof level. I am afraid of heights, so must clear it at ground level. I have tried a snake I bought from Home Depot, but it would just fold back on itself. I also tried a leaf blower. My concern about using a bladder is that it might distort my 3 x 4 aluminum downspout or that it might somehow cause damage to the roof trim or roofing tiles if the blast is too powerful. Any advice or alternative solutions? Thanks.
Hello, I rebuilt my gable vent bc it was rotted. I am wondering what is best method to
seal the frame around it so water does not get in?
Would silicone adhesive be good option? Or should some rubber gasket or sealing tape around the outer frame and between the siding be used?
I just fear silicone adhesive it would wear.
Anybody have any good suggestions for long life? I have attached picture of old frame/new frame.
