Rotting chimney.  Notice the bottom edges of the top and bottom panels are bubbled up, indicating water damage.

Most chimney rotting is due to water entering near the edge of the gutter.  The side of the chimney above the roof usually is missing the proper flashing.

New siding, prior to repainting.  New cedar trim was also used.

Notice the additional flashing that was added to prevent any water from entering near the gutters.
