My house in Brisbane have a leaking problem in the joint between verandah and fascia. Whenever it rains, there are some areas where water will start to drip down ( in red circle ). I have 2 roofers come to check from the roof and they say 2 differenct things. one says he suggests putting a flashing under the gutter and also put a gutter guard to prevent it from being blocked by leaves. The other one says he will put a flashing on top of the gutter like the last picture so it can stop the leak and also prevent the leaves to get into the gutter. The second oppinion will cost me less money. I am very confused now not sure who is right. plz share your thoughts on this for me thank you heaps 🙏🙏🙏

Option two looks like it will require less maintenance in the long run, my only concern would be if the pitch of your verandah will be sufficient to allow water to travel away fast enough in heavy falls. Is the verandah roof flat? Or does it have a slight angle possibly? The second option does also look a lot neater in my opinion. Good luck!

Hi @thanhphongct1,

RE: the verandah roof is completely flat.

That's the problem or root cause of the water issues.

I don't see any slope there should be (about) a 5° fall and that's because there are no battens/purlins installed!

There should be at least two the correct size to maintain the fall.

Also note @OG_Bee's comment 'my only concern would be if the pitch of your verandah will be sufficient...'.

Have of read of this How to re-roof a flat patio structure with enough run for drainage? and I will wait to see what comes back...

Cheers
