Frustrated with the Gap Between My Pergola and House – Need Fix Ideas!
Asked by SunnySideUp42
I bought my house about two years ago and have been focused on renovating the interior. Now, I'm tackling the backyard and dealing with a pergola that has a decent structure but a frustrating issue. There's a gap between the pergola roof and my house's roofline that collects rainwater, and I can't seem to find a way to install flashing to keep it from leaking. Does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

One option is to install a gutter in that gap. It might seem tricky, but gutters can channel the rain away from the area and prevent the leaks you're dealing with.

SassySparrow73: I thought about that too, but I spoke to a couple of gutter companies, and they said they couldn't install one due to limited access in that space.
HandymanHero88: Before getting my roof done, my neighbors had a similar issue. They put in a gutter and haven't had any problems since. Just remember to make sure everything is properly sealed!
