It looks like something hit the roof, causing the paint to wear off prematurely. Without the paint, the metal can rust, causing holes. This is what happened here. We are pretty confident that this was the leading cause of the leak. We cleaned and caulked this area with NP1.

If you have a metal roof with a little bit of age on it, then you’re going to have screws that are backing out. They basically go hand-in-hand.

As I said, this will be a severe issue sooner than later as much of the siding is curling, cracking, and breaking apart.

We caulked around this area and the other side, as you can see the top of the green flashing behind the siding. If you can see it, then rain can get behind it.

We must have screwed back at least 20 or 25 screws in this area.
