    hello all,
    Just a quick question about my porch project that seems to go on and on—
    One problem is the point where the porch roof juts out from the house roof at the top of the exterior stairs - when it rains the water runs off the sloped edge of the porch roof onto the top step. Caulking the house roof eaves where it ends at the porch roof didn’t help - not sure what else to try. Wondering if the porch roof needs eaves along the sloped edge? Thanks for any help in advance.

    It is hard to give you definitive answer simply based on your description. Roof over porch should have an eavetrough that channels water runoff to a downpipe, or at least to the side of the porch where it falls naturally to the ground, out of the way of walking path.
