Flat Roof Leak


I have a Falt Roof that was resurfaced 10 years ago w/ a “rubber” membrane. It is in gtreat cond. I have a door our to this roof that has aluminum flashing that is chalked and continually leaks thru onto my porch below. I am about to recoat the roof, but wonder if anyone can recommend something ( some material or “patch” I can cover the flashing with, then I will coat with roofing material that may hold up for longer than a year to 2.

Oil Paint for Porch?


I am in a 115-year-old Victorian house. I have just redone the front wrap-around porch w/ Douglas Fir T&G, all new wood (700sq/ft.). I am torn between painting with oil (alkyd) or water paint. I have a roof over the porch and ideally would like to get some life out of paint before I need to repaint. I think oil is the way to go but welcome suggestions. BTW…we are frequent visitors in Ft Greene, Park Slope etc. Love it. Born Quentin Rd Area.
Thanks.
Fred
