Good morning Doug,
Sorry for my delayed response. I have been on the road traveling for work. Thank you very much for the historic photo
and the description of the problem. We have two options here that will work:
#1, reopen the integral gutters and repair the damaged wood in the cornice and fascia boards (will also help with not
having water running down the sides of the house) and install a water dam underneath the gutter trays and extend it to
the edge of the cornice and part way up the angled roof to seal off any water intrusion into the building and cornice.
#2, Peel off the shingles or whatever is covering the integral gutters, repair the decking over them as needed, install a
water dam shield (also going part way up under the angled roof to keep water intrusion out), install a drip edge (painted
to match the cornice) around the cornice and make sure the edges of the new shingles stick out enough to drip the
water off without it running down the fascia boards and rotting them again.
I discussed this with Brian this morning and we both think it would be a tough sell to get the commission to grant the
COA with adding exterior gutters because of the pronounced cornice.
Please let us know which option you would like to pursue so that we can respond accordingly.
Cheers,
Paul

Doug,
Adding gutters require a public hearing (COA) which includes the abstract company locating owners, certified return
receipt mail and now we have a filing fee.
My suggestion is to repair the soffit and fascia with like materials and install a good metal drip edge that is painted to
match the fascia before reroofing.

This house has a conservation easement on it with AHPP. We will need to get Paul Porter to give approval on this also.
am including him on this email. I am out next week. I can meet anytime today except after 3:00. 1 can meet tomorrow
afternoon before 3:30. Friday is spotty.
Brian

Hi Brian,
We are facing a roof replacement at 514 E. 9th St., LR, AR, 72202. As part of this project we'll need to repair
rotting wood along the facia, soffit and the eves. I believe the majority of this damage is related to there being
no gutters. This has allowed the water to run in streams along the facia and soffit. The box gutters were covered
over most likely in an early 1980's renovation.
My roofer, Craig Cougill of C.Cougill Roofing, is proposing K -style gutters to handle the water coming off of
the building. This type of gutter allows for screening so that leaves and other debris don't accumulate and clog
the downspouts. Due to the height of the building and difficult access to the eves, cleaning the gutters presents
ongoing challenges that could be mitigated by K -Style gutters and screen covers.
Please let me know what you think about the gutter proposal. Also, if you have other options I could consider -
perhaps some that have come across your desk in the past that I'm not thinking of. I'll look forward to hearing
from you. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Doug Melkovitz
