Hello,
I have a question. Last year, we bought a semi-detached house, a prefabricated wooden house built in 2000. The gable of the roof, in particular, has already been exposed to quite a bit; the paint is almost completely gone, and you can see gray-black streaks.
Is this a problem? The beams supporting the gable show small cracks with black edges.
Is the structural strength of the wood still guaranteed without weather protection, or should I be concerned now?
What should be considered when repainting with weather-resistant paint?
How much does it typically cost to cover both gables? Are there any estimates?
I don’t know the wood type; it could be pine or larch.

so, what do you want to do with metal on wood? Cover it? And the water in between? That just rots. That's what I'm saying!
Tomorrow, I have only one photo from the other side because I can’t easily access the neighbor’s property right now, but it still shows what I mean. This side is not as badly affected yet and is also not the weather-facing side.
What should be mentioned is that the gable on the weather-facing side is partially covered by the neighbor’s roof, disappearing at just over half its height.

So we’re talking about the collar beams, purlin ends, and the eaves here.
In this case, I would definitely recommend just touching up with a proper wood paint. Depending on how the other side looks, you might not even need to sand everything down first. In the photo, it still looks quite good.
