How do I stop seagulls banging on our flat roof?

Anne L asked:

We’ve recently had a dormer loft conversion for our new master bedroom, only we keep being woken by seagulls thumping on it early in the morning. What can we do to deter them from using our roof for what sounds like severe beak banging!!!!

Tom C asked:

We had a kitchen remodel with new ceiling sections and a knock down texture over the ceiling. A leak in the roof got through the ceiling along the the sheetrock seams creating a ***** and ‘flat’ texture down the seam. Does anyone know how to repair this by texturing over the seam? Do I have to re-texture the whole ceiling? Can I do a new knockdown texture over the old one? Thanks!

Gutter Screens to keep out rodents?

Magazine asked:

My roof decking does not meet the fascia, thusly there are gaps where a rodent can get in. A roofer said this isn’t a problem because most rats, squirrels, etc. would have a difficult time lifting up the shingles to get into the openning and thusly the attic. But as we know, rodents can slip into the smallest of openings. It didn’t make me feel better but he said at least half of all homes, the decking doesn’t meet the fascia. At first, I asked about flashing my roof line to cover up the holes, but since I have gutters, he recommended that I put gutter screens. He said it would accomplish the same thing as flashing by covering up the gap and it would keep the rodents above the roof line and not give them a craddle, that being the gutter to sit in. Any one familiar with gutter screens or is flashing the better option. Either way, it will be pricey.

All that maintenance does is put buckets under the leaks. The floors are marble and several people have slipped on wet floors.
