down at the eaves the starter course ends are lapped over each other in the valley and made a build up. and the first 2 shingle courses aren’t laying down in valley and are bridging
I have had other roofers look it over. It’s my understanding some feel it’s typical and others told me it is junk and will fail. I am wondering what unbiased inspectors say.
There is more to it than is it leaking now. It’s a 50 yr. roof that is a couple months old. My last roof(40yr.) lasted 11 before it started leaking and needed to be entirely replaced. At this point I am not going to inspect the attic with every storm.
Firstly that chimney needs a cricket.
It is poorly flashed and the stone are a beast to flash.
I use lead as the flashing and if I have to I trim stone to apply a proper 10 inch finish counter flashing.
Cap finish is wrong in the ridge venting.
That ridge venting looks like it is on a hip and that is the cheapest ridge venting and poorly designed. ( to me ) I have never used ridge venting.
The sizer are wrong and flashing was used at the dormers.
Every shingle should be sized and flashing on top.
Electrical boot is finished poorly. I am being nice.
A woven valley. That is 2 this month that I have seen. Why in that climate.
Those vents are being cut in after. Very poor practice.
That is no small roof. I am guessing 25 plus square. What a waste of money.
Did you see any ice shield? that guy needs shield.
Landon I hope you are not doing the job. I see cut shingles and every indication it was you or you are taking photos as they are gone for lunch.
You are doing a phase inspection of sort.
By the way, by the looks of things these guys are permanently OUT TO LUNCH.
I can go on by why bother.
Forgot to mention to you, I am a journeyman roofer.
Unbelievable!! after that roof is torn off do yourself a favor befre the new roof is installed and frame in the required cricket on the highside of the chimney
Your pictures are fine yet the best thing to do is to hire a local NACHI inspector in your area who is versed with various types of roofing and flashing… think of it as an investment to protect your investment.
No permit needed on roofing shingle jobs…
Company has to be licensed.
1: Look use an inspector that does Phase inspections.
2: Call the company now to give them notice of the job.Certified letter and explain that you will take legal action within 10 working days if no rep comes.
They will send a rep.
3: Follow all directions that the phase inspector gives you.
Tell the company to do as follows or take litigation against the company.
Write a certified and or registered letter ( NOW).
That’s your best bet.
Just my view.
Get a home inspector. ( phase inspector ) to do a report.
