About this project
We replaced the roof and the trim on this brick ranch on Flanders Avenue in Warren. The roof and trim were finished in early July 2026. It is a low, wide ranch with a bay window and green shutters.
The rooftop photo shows the new gray shingles with three box vents near the ridge and a plumbing vent with its flashing. A gutter runs along the eave at the right. From the street, the second photo shows the white fascia trim along the roof edge and our yard sign on the lawn.
What we did
- Replaced the shingles on the house roof
- Fitted the shingles around the box vents and the plumbing vent
- Capped the ridge
- Covered the roof-edge trim in white
Box vents and the trim below them
This roof uses box vents, the square hooded vents set near the ridge. Each one lets hot, moist air out of the attic. They only work with intake, meaning vents low in the soffits that let fresh air in to replace it. The usual goal is a balance, with roughly as much intake as exhaust.
The trim work is the other half of this job. Fascia boards sit behind the gutters at the roof edge, and when they are bare wood they soak up water from splashes and overflows. Covering them in finished trim keeps the wood dry and gives a clean white line under the shingles, as the street photo shows. It is often cheaper to deal with the trim while the roof is open than to come back for it.
Questions homeowners ask about roofs and trim
Why replace trim when the roof is replaced?
The roof edge and the trim meet, so it makes sense to deal with both at once. Drip edge goes over the fascia, and the gutters hang on it. If the trim is rotted or peeling, fixing it before the gutters go back up saves a second trip.
Do I need to be home during a roof replacement?
Not for all of it. Someone should be reachable, and cars should be out of the driveway so the crew can work and the trailer can be placed. Pets are usually happier away from the noise.
