FASCIA "REPAIRS" MADE BY ROOFERS TO 651 BROOKLINE PLACE, FULLERTON, CA

Please note:  The fascia the roofers said needed to be replaced had no nails driven completely through boards, had no cracked boards, had perfectly mitered edges and no gaping holes between it and the stucco.  The rain gutter was properly fitted and wasn't dented.  The width of all of the boards was the same.

The photos below show the quality of the work that the roofing company performed on Mrs. Anderson's home.  This work is worse than substandard but the roofers had no problem charging Mrs. Anderson more than $400 for these shoddy repairs.  These photos show an example of what was done everywhere to her fascia.  This wasn't a case of "there's just one" - the whole job looks this way.

What you'll see in the above photo ... Roofers nailed right through boards when they put on the new roof.  

What you'll see in the above photo ... Roofers split boards into which they drove nails.  Also, look carefully at the top of this photo and you'll see more nails coming through the roof, into the overhang.  Does this mean that the other nails have been driven through boards and into her attic?

What you'll see in the above photo ... Roofers made a mess of the rain gutter - it's dented in places now and wasn't reinstalled properly.  How could they have "missed" the fact that there's a gap between where the gutter should be and where it actually ended up?

What you'll see in the above photo ... Is this what corners are supposed to look like?  Would you accept this quality of work on your home?  I realize there was a conscious decision to change the type of wood used, but doesn't mean that the width should have been changed.  The thinner boards are less expensive for the roofers to use, but they don't match what's on the rest of the house.  These boards should be removed and replaced with boards of the correct width and they should be properly mitered and installed to fit correctly.

What you'll see in the above photo ... Roofers split the boards on the other side, too.  Their careless work gouged pieces out of the wood.

What you'll see in the above photo ... First, notice the cracked roofing tile.  It's supposed to be new, how can it be cracked already?  Next, notice that they didn't cut back into the painted wood, past the damage.  Apparently, leaving some damage, is okay, just not all of it.  Then, notice that both of the nails they drove into the white board were too close to the end, so they split the board ... both times.  And finally, notice the gap between the stucco and the white fascia, which the roofers put in.  Perfect for mold or mildew when the water gets in there.  Every single step of this section is botched.

What you'll see in the above photo ... More gaps between the wood and the stucco.  The original fascia fit properly.  They took it all down and just slapped up whatever they had.

What you'll see in the above photo ... This is the back of Mrs. Anderson's home.  Another example of cracked tiles and a mess that should have been replaced and wasn't. 

The following photos show what the roofing company considered to be acceptable as far as repairing the shoddy work they did on Lu Anderson's house.

What you'll see in the above photo ... Notice that there's still a gap between the rain gutter and the house.

What you'll see in the above photo ... They slopped some caulk over part of the mess they made, but part of the split in the board is still exposed to the elements.  The caulk they used is acrylic - it cannot be sanded.  So when they don't smooth it out, it stays slopped on and lumpy, forever.

What you'll see in the above photo ... They moved the rain gutter over so that the two ends now abut each other, but they did it without replacing the section of gutter that they damaged -- it's still bent and dented out of shape (on the right).

What you'll see in the above photo ... More careless and messy caulking.

What you'll see in the above photo ... This is where whoever slopped the caulking on the boards below wiped his fingers - on the tiles.

What you'll see in the above photo ... And when that wasn't enough, he wiped his fingers on these tiles, too.

What you'll see in the above photo ... They just nailed this board into the stucco.  Since the board is the wrong width, it's still not flush and they (thankfully) didn't try to fill the remaining gap by slopping more caulk in there.  This way, at least, when someone competent comes out, they can remove this board, replace it with one that's the correct width and do the job right.

What you'll see in the above photo ... The roofers didn't replace the board that's the wrong width - they just filled the gaping hole at the corner with some caulk.  This corner is never going to be even until the width of both boards is the same.

What you'll see in the above photo ... No one is perfect - not even "perfectly horrible".  Here, it appears that they pulled most of the nails that they drove right through the wood out.  

What you'll see in the above photo ... The roofers did fix the cracked tile and left behind their usual mess of nails and debris to show that they'd been there.  They tell people who complain that they're "not done" cleaning up -- then, the next time you look, they're messing up another street and are gone.
