Very strange installation. Here’s how it’s described in the course…
"Apparently, the installers refused to let themselves be limited by good practices developed by those who had gone before. Tiles range in color, texture and in length from about 4 inches to full tiles, with all sorts of lengths in between thrown in to keep things interesting. Tiles appear to be held in place by… the tile in the course above… and lichen… although there does seem to be some kind of adhesive dribbled around in a random kind of way. This was the windward slope in a high-wind area, which would account for some of the tile displacement, but a large portion of this strange installation appears to be due to the unique frame of mind in which the installers indulged."
Julio is the “undocumented worker” who has no insurance, limited English, but is low balling every reputable roofer in the Carolina’s. Unfortunately most homeowners (and insurance companies) go with his price only to have call backs for which he is never seen again.
I myself have bidded against him and repaired work behind him…if I ever find his arse I will stick a bundle of shingles up it.
