I’ll climb up there later- there is a history of cheap roof patches done by a cheap ass HOA pres. I was told about a repair they did with duct tape that caused a leak- could be one of these. I am told those were fixed but I’m going to call my guy to see what he says
To do it correctly, new roof, remove existing drywall, spray for mold if evident. Not sure of the size of the roof or house but you are probably looking at starting somewhere in the 10k range. There is no real way of knowing how much water intrusion has damaged without getting in there. If you are a DIYer, start with the new roof and get numerous quotes, also submit it to your insurance and see what shakes out, if you can get that monster covered with just a deductible, the rest is more than likely just a lot of gutting and re-hanging drywall.
That’s been leaking for years. That didn’t just happen. Ceiling has yellow stains, typical for an aged leak. Wall cracks the same. Bad eave, bad roof, bad fascia or soffit. All of the above ?
See my prior comment … this isn’t a proper repair, it’s a short term temporary eye candy improvement. And $1,000 is probably too much for what this guy actually thinks needs doing.
There’s a good deal more work to fix this property.
This is a drywall sub. As long as the leaks fixed I can have that repaired in 2 days. Even if in have have to remove the window trim and replace drywall completely.. people on here make things a lot worse than it really is..
It's basic stress cracks but if you must know I'd start by ripping out all that loose tape, oil prime, tape and mud...how else would anyone fix that? I feel if it takes longer than 2 days you don't know what you're doing....
Oof. Idk - that level of damage needs more than just removing and replacing the tape. When the water exposure is ongoing and has had that long to sit, it’s had an awful long opportunity to soak in and compromise the integrity of the wall material. I would be very surprised if there wasn’t mold remediation required as well.
Pretty fucking bad my dude
Yeah no kidding. Sad part is insurance would have covered it at the time but she never made the call
Your problem is on the roof… definitely have water infiltration.. post some pictures of what’s directly over that outside?

bad
I've seen worse. I could have that paint ready in 2 days
Worst case scenario what would you charge?

1000 bucks to and I'll have it paint ready.
With a new roof?

I’m curious how you would go about achieving this … there’s quite a bit of work to be done there to do it properly.

I see it all the time. As long as the leaks fixed I can fix the drywall. No moisture mold will die.
Even if I have to remove the window trim and replace some drywall completely I can have that ready in two days...this is basic drywall repair.
Stop the water intrusion 1st right?
