Sep 2014

but it was almost 14 years since the last one. During that time I had bad Ice dams(New England)a lot of peeling paint ect. I did have to replace some fascia and soffit boards. (up by the gutters) but not a big deal($300). My point is you house will not fall down if you have to wait until Spring or longer. My house was built in 1927 and is still standing just fine as Yours will also
