The Ice & Water Shield membrane (or approved equal - would somebody

problem is usually due to heat from the house interior. Just dealing
with the roof overhang portion won't solve the problem.

Why do so many here point to this, when I thought the OP only had
gutters changed? A real question.

I thought the OP's first sentence was clear, and from the picture I
don't think the gutters...sorry...eavestroughs! is responsible for all
of that. Here's what she wrote:

You may have read it as "roof eavestroughs" - with the comma being a
typo, but in that case the word roof is entirely superfluous as they
can be nowhere else. It would be akin to saying "my bathroom
toilet" (please note, I am aware that the British have loos - toilets
in rooms without baths - but they're on the other side of the pond and
like being difficult anyway, so let's just ignore them, okay?). I

Okay.

I did misunderstand. My bad. Thanks.

think she simply left out an "and" - roof and eavestroughs.

I guess only the OP knows for sure, but the word "flashing" would
require shingle work on an existing roof to install the flashing
correctly. In any event, there's definitely more messed up than just
the gutters.
